It is not the ones that live around me or them.. You show me one honda in the 11s and I will show you 100 american muscle cars, if not more. Hell 12s for that matter.
They aren't all dumb asses, it is just extremely hard to make those cars quick. No 12s aren't quick, nor 11s..

And this was a stock looking, stock sounding car with full interior. With cams and a 2.4 block a stock LS1 WILL get beat, especially from a roll. And as far as "pouring 10K into a 4 cylinder" goes... you would be amazed how far 3k goes with an Evo. Dont get me wrong, I love my Z28. But i'm an automotive enthusiast, not a fanboy.

What do you expect saying things like that; Oh well, I just believe this guy is right; you look a lot better beeing slow in a Honda and modding an RSX will beat up on a LSx

Why dont you post up YOUR 12sec timeslip.

BTW Lot of imports are tastefully done around here, but theyre all slow. Nothing compared to the crap you showed us.

The relevance of "your friends" pile of **** civic racing an LT1 to your RSX running 12s is astounding.
Your lack of reading comprehension skills is astounding. Read the post... My car was somewhere in the 13s. Why dont I have an exact number? Because I really dont care. The car isn't made for drag racing. I said the motor from my RSX should be doing 12s this coming season. Its in a 93? Civic coupe. Allow me to put this in terms that you hillbillies can understand: I will gladly challenge any stock LS1 to a drag race.

Somewhere in the 13s? Did you ever take it to the strip?

Should be in the 12s? Did it ever even have a 13 second time slip? What are you basing this off of?

Hillbillies? Thats a lame *** "smack talk" term. Because we bought a car that is notorious for being a KILLER (if not the best) platform to mod on, especially for as little as you put into it, that makes us hillbillies?

Congrats, taking a modded car and racing it against a stock car. Why don't we do stock for stock or mod for mod? Thats right, it wouldn't be fair. Not our damn fault you are working with 4 cylinders and we have 3 times the displacement. We are just hillbillies.

Dude... seriously?

Drag racing a Honda/Acura (expensive Honda) is like competing in the special olympics... Even if you win, you are still retarded...

Well i have some timeslips showing that my camaro is faster than yours, since thats the only thing you seem to understand. (no, im not getting them out of the car tonight) I know the damn things are fast, thats why I have one. The fact that you put your car on a pedestal and compare it to STOCK HONDAS and your overall lack of open-mindedness is what makes you a hillbilly. You defend your car like its your damn child.

What does it run? You don't know what my car runs.

Fast!?! Not stock they aren't, thats for sure.. I never once put my car on a pedestal. I also never compared MY car to a stock honda. You started talking about honda this and honda that. If you want to talk about modded hondas, why can't I talk about modded LsXs?

I actually have a very open mind about the difference performance platforms. I rarely look into imports because I never see anything on the street that catches my attention. Waste of money IMO.

Are you going to try to find a time slip that is faster than the times in my sig? Or are you just going to act like I didn't say anything at all?

I wouldn't be surprised after some of the stuff I have been reading lately.

Thanks man, it doesn't do bad for a full weight DD with a baby 226 cam and ls6 intake. Still has a way to go though!

Either way for the power levels you are making you are running the good slip. I'm working on a SR 355 over here. We'll see how that goes.

The rest of my money I have in investments for a nice C6 after college

Let me know how your car progresses

Anyway, Ill give you some dates and maybe we can line up. I'm on a 275 bfg, cam, 4400ss, 273 gear. And the owner of "the ugliest civic on earth" will prolly be with me, so you can tell him yourself. Too bad this "my dick is bigger than yours" conversation didn't happen a few weeks ago... I was in TN

Yea, dyno numbers are just that... Numbers.

Wish I could get a C6Z, those things are sick.

Will do man.

So hold on... Are you trying to tell me you haven't even ran it yet? You will need a bit more than BFGs 273s and cam only unless you are in a tin can.
I think you are all talk. Not only will you not get a time slip, you won't even say what it runs.
