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.
Sadly that interior is in better shape than my formula with 99k miles.

I'd build a Honda if it wouldn't immediately be stolen by some puerto ricans from Hartford.
Seriously though... my neighbor has built a few Hondas and they're stolen from outside his house within days after they're done. They follow us white boys into the suburbs from the City.

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?
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.

Nope....I hate because they're a heap of **** rattle trap that drives the wrong wheels, extremely unreliable, sound like ****, have had to wait far to long for the track to clean up messes after them, drive like ****. In the end all they can do with that junk is make it accelerate from 60+ -120 or 130 somewhat quickly....if they brake boost, and w/o race gas or meth or e85 they can't even do that.

Honda's are junk period....I don't give a **** if you guys like it or not. It takes a bunch of band aids to keep that **** alive and they still don't last. I could give a **** less is one is faster than me or not. You guys act like I could'nt make mine faster if I wanted. I've had a ls7 in my shop for a year now but I enjoy tinkering with the ls6.....and it but hurts the **** out of some of you that it has went 11.1 @ 130......Do you really think it can't roll race with 130mph trap? Is it the fastest ever...nope......but sure the **** is gonna ride and drive a ton better than a heap of **** honda.
