just that some people here said on the last thread with the turbo integra vs the cam-only camaro wasnt really a race that the camaro didnt try, the integra cheated, or that install a turbo on the ls1 and see what happens.....
Go look over there, most know better and respect f-bodys because how fast they are stock or close to stock. With money anything can be made fast as you can see the vid.

I have to give that Civic props, he pulled hard as hell on that STS LS1. Not as an excuse but I'm not a fan of the STS kit, I don't think it's the most efficient kit out there in production. The dyno numbers are there though....
Anyways, my turn. I think it will turn out differently.

I didnt download the video, but I must say, go to the Honda forums and those guys are actually cool as hell. At least the ones who posted under the Camaro vs the Civic video. They give props and don't rag on anything but the STS rear setup being wierd, and hell I agree.

i do believe it was the other way around on that teg video...the teg guys said the camaro had "cheated" cause he sprayed....a race is a race is a race.....our cars are fast but if you get beat by a civic like that....#1 you have to give him his props (or money) cause he has hooked his car up to do what he wanted ....win...and finally if your gonna cry about if my car this and if i had that you shouldn't be running your car or your mouths when you get beat....F bodys are bad but not all are unbeatable and vice versa for the imports

Yeah a rear mounted turbo is weird, I wonder how much lag that thing has compared to manifold/header turbo setups.

that civic isn't crap. I bet it runs mid 12s in the 1/4. Roll patrol videos don't prove anything.

the only problems i have with lag are from a dig...(which will be corrected when i get my MSD 2 Stage)
from a roll....u break boost which for those who dont kno gives instant boost, and power shift......, any decent shifter can maintain good pressure between gears
