Not trying to get into an argument at all with this, but here goes.
Lightning Teg,
Hugger1975 and I are heading out your way on Aug 5th to run at us41 dragway so if you are interested in coming out shoot me a PM. Might have a few people from the site go as well. I'd rather go to Byron but with my travel schedule and Jay's work Schedule this is the best we could come up with.

Make a event thread in the Midwest section called like SRK meetup or something. If you come to Indy for sure we can do something.

I can't wait to see how your car runs turned up. I'll give you a rematch if you want it.

lol It happens. Tyler said it was going to be a good race. I didn't know anything about your car. So I agreed to go. If I would have known I would have said something. Freight training someone like that who is expecting a good race is a dick move IMO.

When I raced you I wanna say it was around 400whp. Its at 465whp now but I'm out of fuel. Im trying to get a pump after this weekend so I can max out my injectors and hopefully make over 500 again.

That was the first time I have seen that video. It definately looked worse from your view. I didn't think I pulled quite that hard in only half of 2nd and 3rd gear.

Haha... Don't forget the guy foolin with a stock engine, no power adder and in street trim, in a reliable car that can drive anywhere on 89 octane if need be with the ac on. Also the guy that has good enough suspension to go do track days and not just go straight.
If I wanted to do what this guy did, race a shell of a car I would already be in the mid 10's......with a ******* stock motor, with stock reliability that has lasted 80,000 miles and when I go to the track gets hot lapped 9+ times in a row. This guy will be lucky to get to 5,000 miles in the form he runs it.
There are lots of variables and ways to look at things. The cards dealt when dealing with a honda are not even remotely acceptable to me.

As for your comment on reliability i can tell you've never owned a honda or been around hondas. My F-body has given me more issue's than all 4 of my civics put together. But hey i dont complain about it.
Edit:
Keep us posted when you keep up with 1 liter + bikes.

Lol ok I won't correct your spelling anymore 
. I actually mess up my spelling all the time on here and I think maybe I sounded more serious than I was...I really don't care, most of us don't 
.
You actually can't say whatever you want on here, but close lol. I do agree with you though, we have our own opinions and I know you were just bs'ing like we all do on here. I was out of line for pokin' at ya though, and since I dished it out I can take it back.
I really don't care for civics all that much personally, but it's hard not to respect something that flat out hauls like that. I doubt the rider was great but it's still impressive for the civic to run like that in my books. It wouldn't be something I'd buy or want to own though.

I'm not a fan of hondas but ill give credit where credit is due, if its fast ill respect it because i like racing. If you dont like hondas or even respect the fact that it just ran with a STREET BIKE "never the less a zx14" then why would you enter this thread. I know if I see a thread about somthing I dont like, I wont bother clicking on it.

Your car is impressive, never said it isn't. But if you're going to knock a car that out traps your car by 15-20mph and out E/Ts your car by almost a full second (on obviously shitty run), then post 3 paragraphs of excuses then yeah...its self explanatory whats going on here. Bottom line his car is faster than yours whether yours has a damn hot tub in the back, it is still slower. You know what type of train length that car would put on you?

We both know he did this on race gas.....so as far as it's street car cred to me that goes right out the window. That 1liter+ bike needed a rider mod bad. If I were serious about getting #'s at the track it's relatively easy to gut your car and make it go straight and get to the mid 10's. The only thing that has went bad on my car in 13yrs and 113,000miles is the drivers window motor. Everything else I have broke has been my own doins (except the motor, a friend done that in). Everything on the car has held up nicely. If I can make my way over to Notch's house I'll shoot a pic of what a 120k honda interior has held up like and you will think Camaro's hold up pretty good after seeing it.
His car is faster than yours, you do not have room to talk. Please atleast build a car that out traps or out E/T's his first.
That is like me with my stock car discrediting your car.
Not your cup of tea? Cool we know this already, nothing is unless its an LSx car. But bottom line is he's on another level then you.
As for the race gas comment, don't you consider E85 as race gas?
Edit:
A real overall car enthusiast can appreciate a fast car, regardless of what it is. You on the other hand are just an ignorant GM monger.
In highschool i ******* hated F-bodys, look what i own now.

it doesn't matter who "done" it in, it still went. i have a prelude sitting out in my driveway with 270,000 miles on the odometer and its only problem is it drips a lil oil.there has never been a window motor needed replaced, transmission shifts like it did when it was new in 93 and id put money on it out cornering your catfish. no its not fast, that's why i have the bird. but its every bit as comfortable as my t/a and gets me 40mpg everyday, and im not afraid to drive it in the snow. how many fbodies are there that are running around with a quarter of a million miles on them? this isn't a pissing match, this is someone liking a car that you and a few other close minded people hate, and you guys acting like if you say its not cool the world shouldn't like it. get over it, and get over yourselves. this is why i refuse to hang out with the lsx people anymore, you'd be surprised how many cool people you meet when you stop thinking (insert car brand here) is the be all end all of the car world.
