Hmm, had a new Tundra single cab 5.7 beat me in mom's 06 Grand Prix

A Prius would probably beat my current 4 banger 03 Eclipse GS A4

Got beat once by a boosted Civic on a roll but then he refused to race me from a dig. All the Civics I raced from a dig I beat in the old TA. Most Civic guys out here make high hp motors but don't get the car hooking to make it even worth it

I have been beat already. My buddy who has a 600+whp evo on a mustang dyno, beat me earlier this year from a roll. I can beat myself with my own import. My evo went 10.59 at 133 100whp ago. I will race any one worth racing( im not going to waste my time on riced out civics, v6 camaros and mustangs etc.) If it says nice out R6 cowboy set it up. Hell I still need to run you. preferably from a dig is what i would like( To see if i can hold off that 650+whp supra). I know brandon told you what i can 60ft on the stock clutch. Just wait til i get a clutch that can handle 5k+ launches then im hoping for some really impressive 60fts.

My dyno graph is just about identical to a stock c6z dyno graph. Not sure if its going to pan-out this year tho. But I am planning on taking the car this saturday to the Fast Motorsports grand opening shindig.
I should be there too. I still need him to adjust my back to how it was on the dyno. I had him adjust the tune for a intake ram air scoop that caused really bad surging. I took of the junk scoop off but now my car fall on its face in 3rd gear and up. My back half times are killing me right now.

Is Brandon doing dyno pulls that day? Just curious if he's setting up a schedule or something. Switching out a couple things, wouldn't mind throwing it on the dyno to see if it will hold boost to redline.

I'm not sure. Wouldn't mind going to pick his brain on some things. Hope he's not weird because I ended up going to ams. I don't hold anything against him, understand he was busy. What type of dyno is he looking to get?

If I remember correctly he mentioned a Dynojet in a couple months or so.

It's not worth bragging about and not worth getting embarrassed by, so what's the point? Plus you waste gas.

Not really...fast hondas are like retarded unicorns. Even when I see the rare one in the wild I laugh at it because it's an ugly gutted death trap that sounds like the bathroom of a Taco Bell burrito eating contest.

Or this one:
Tuners are like unicorns: They may be fast, but they're still gay as hell.

I have no issue with "tuners" or "imports".

I just hate civics with a passion. And the people who mod them in my area are the definition of tasteless. Ugly riced out FWD piles of **** with obnoxious exhausts that in no way sound good.

Nothing wrong with tastefully modded import sports cars. Especially AWD/RWD platforms designed to be sporty.

Here 14second srt4 neons are considered to be the best cars ever. Not many civic guys here that mod to be honest, but all the neon guys think that with a new exhaust they have 600hp.

In my G8 with 370whp I got owned by a Evo that made 370whp also. I had the nitrous on the car then but a solenoid was ******* up so I couldn't spray. It was bad. Very bad.

I had a 1994 Nissan Sentra with a 1.6L motor. It would not make it up a steep hill unless I had a running start. The rocker panels were all rusted out and it bent in half when I drove over the train tracks at 60 mph.
Junked it! Thank God.

I respect the nicer cars that are faster. I just think that cheap cars that are fast are always cheap at heart. Your Camry could run 8s, I'd still laugh because it's a Camry.
