Hey guys,
I heard from him finally! Here is his story...
I heard from him finally! Here is his story...
Well, I pulled up at our spot at 2am, and as it turns out, the guy is pushing 60psi of boost!!! I thought he was joking, but when he got on it, the blow off was deafening. We raced once and he lost by 2 car lengths up to about 60mph, which he claimed to have lost traction. He blamed it on being a front wheel drive car, and if he had a rear wheel drive car he woulda smoked me. I suggested he race me while driving backwards, and he complied.
We lined em up - me facing forward and him facing backward. At first I thought I had beat him so badly because after I grabbed traction, I looked over and he wasn't there, only to realize he didn't put it in reverse. He actually ended up taking out two cars behind us since his forward was actually backward.
With a crushed front end, he was still determined to run me, but from a roll. We got on the freeway, and it was HORRIBLE sounding - his front bumper was dragging the whole way, making a terrifying scratching sound. The faster we went, the harsher and higher pitched it got. I still got him by a half a car length to 100mph, but when I let off, he did the ol' ricer fly bye and kept going. The problem was, was that when he hit about 120mph, his front bumper and the intercooler ripped off and some of the piping actually ripped out his b20 motor. I pulled over and ran across the highway to pick up his engine with my left hand and toss it in my glove compartment. I drove up to the newly transformed rolling chassis honda and told him I'd sell him his motor back for $100. He gave me the money and said "That's what I get for not saving the NOS for the way back, and granny shifting when I shoulda been double clutchin'"

If you are unhappy with F-body's, then why don't you sell it and get something else?

you can think your car is whatever you think it is,
but the truth is GM has made bullshit around a pretty good engine.
too bad if youre hurt,
i use the term POS loosely.
shitty automatic transmission.
shitty differential.
shitty interior.
shitty headlamp system, alternator, starter, stereo sys
shitty stock suspension.. etc..
practically EVERYTHING on these cars has been modded / swapped!
but if i didnt love this car
i wouldnt replace whatever breaks in it with the best parts i can afford.
unless he's get a t56 C5.
those cars are pretty nice.

You are right Jassick, my comment could have come off as kinda harsh. He just sounds like he would get pleasure waking up in the morning and peeing on his own hood. I just don't understand, but it is his car so feel free!
