Default Google gives me the funniest things...

I got bored and started googling around to find out which was the fastest bone stock Firebird ever released and stumbled on this thread at the Honda forums:

http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2591887

Even the ricers know what it takes to go fast, sell the honda!

Stupidity runs rampant in that thread. I guess none of them can read. Guy asked for fastest STOCK car under 10k and their saying Civic's CRX's and modded cars.

My buddy bought an Integra for around 8 or 10 grand and dumped thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of mods in it, headers, full exhaust, intake, suspension, tune, body kit, wheels, tires and ran a mid 15 sec quarter while I ran a 13.7 with my $12,000 Trans Am. And I got 29 mpg on the way back from the track, (almost 2 hour drive), and he got like 22mpg. LOL. Not Bashing, just saying I don't see the appeal of dumping all your money into a car like that.

As I saw someone say, probably elsewhere here on tech, it's like "putting marble countertops and a 52 inch TV in a mobile home".

Wait a sec, I DO HAVE a 52 inch TV in a trailer!!!

But I held off on the countertops. I couldn't find any in purple velour!

Least I can take the TV with me when I get a house!

Although, it is pretty perfect to have a Trans Am parked outside the trailer.

I feel like Early Cuyler.

I ran 13.7 with my $2500 civic. Give me that extra $9500 & It would of been a 9 second car. It's just all about how you do things. I'd rather have an F-body over a Honda as a "race" car any day though. Which is why I finally got 1.

I agree its all about how you do things, I'm sure someone has payed even less that $2500 for a car and ran faster than 13.7. At the end of the day my story was comparing my buddies car to mine, not yours. Congrats on the switch to an LS1 btw.

+1. As far as stock goes, LS1 kills anything else out there, for the price

Default Found the smartest one there

"I just couldn't get myself into an F-body everyday. That takes spiritual commitment."

Best quote on there. And ya know what, he's pretty close to right.

So for $9500 you can turn a civic into a 9 second car

Reminds me of this thread...

Mustang Forums

Don't want to make any Mustang drivers mad, but you must admit, you said it yourself!


A quality quote from that thread...

Code:
A Mustang cannot beat an LS1. Simply cannot happen. Please refer to this guide if you're a Mustang owner that thinks you may have beaten an LS1.

#1 The LS1 cannot be beaten.
#2 All Mustangs are stock.
#3 All LS1s run mid/high 12s bone stock from the factory.
#4 Even the 03 Cobra is a mid 13 car.
#5 The LS1 was not racing.
#6 The LS1 was parked.
#7 The LS1 was just playing with you.
#8 The LS1 was actually a V-6 with Z28 badges.
#9 The LS1 was actually an LT1, which can only be beaten by an LS1.
#10 The race does not count because it ended before 160mph.
#11 The race does not count because it did not start from a roll.
#12 The race does not count because the LS1's passenger was performing oral on the driver.
#13 The race does not count because the LS1 was not properly tuned.
#14 If you still feel your Mustang may have beaten an LS1, please see #1.
Perhaps not realistic, and dripping with sarcasm, but it still made me LOL. Out loud.

i like the link the guy posted claiming he found 7 c5 vettes for under $10k. 1 was a aston martin in conversion, 4 were unrepaired salvaged cars, 1 was a typo on the price, and the only running one was over 100k miles located in bumblefuck, wa
