Lol, 11 seconds with nitrous... hondas are so funny. Without the bottle they're nothing. Good job showin them whats up. Sometimes I think import drivers are really just clueless. There was a kid in my town with a 97 Eclipse GS-T, he worked on his car and he wasn't really a ricer, but he knew nothing about domestic cars. He had no idea that American v8s had broken 240 horsepower. I guess he was stuck back in the late 80's with the L98.

And just the other day at work, a kid with a brand new Mazdaspeed Protege comes up to me, and he's like "Wow your car sounds nasty, how many horses is that stock?" When I said 275, he was like "Really? I didn't know they were that powerful." I guess they just don't do their homework.

ok, so the guy wants to go for 2k, he said in a few weeks, he's probably going to get a bullet proof bottom end w/nos of corse, I told him I'd race him in my camaro, I need to order my 12 bolt tomorrow!, w/ the juice (150)I should be pushin about 5 bills to the wheels, when I get the rear end I'm going to install the mcleod dual disc that's been sitting on my shelf for a couple years, my drag radials should grab, I think that'll put me in the mid 11's, but on the street it should be able to rip him a new one, what do u think?
