You are LAME
To the OP.... " I'm sorry this crap got in your thread", but I hafta answer this guy. This is the reason why I'm losing respect for a lot of the domestic guys out here. No one is interested in having a good race. They only wanna race if they know they will win.

Why the hell would I race a car with 505 crankhp with my car tuned to 650 to the wheels. "Yay I walked a Z06 by 20 CL's with 200 more to the wheels and damn near 400 less pounds" I really feel good about myself. None of the guys out here who are around my hp level will race me for fear of losing to a 4 door Integra.

Only the guys with the 750-900rwhp beasts are willing to race cuz they know they will tear me a new butthole. I think that's gay... so who's the HOMO?!!!!!

on a seperate note. "gsrhunter" you are on the wrong site to be talking **** about how your FWD Japanese car with god only knows what done to it that runs mid 11's can "rape" a RWD American car stock that runs high 11's bonestock and mid 11's with simply DR's that many people on here including me worship like god.

yes it was cheaper for you to make your car go as fast as a STOCK Z06, but it would also be cheaper for me to make a gokart go as fast as your car. That being said my gokart wouldnt be as nice as your car just as your car is not as nice as a Z06.

sorry if you think we are being jerks but you are deffinitely in the wrong place to talk about your car beating a Z06
Mike I gaurantee you that you don't have as much admiration for the Z06 as I do. I absolutely worship that car. I want one so bad I can taste it. I merely made a stupid comment that if I can't afford to send it to lingenfelter when I get one.... then my integra will still rape it....... and these guys jumped on me like sharks.. and I hafta defend myself.

Thank you Mike and Six.

And NO gsr-overpaidmid11s-Hunter, I wasn't trying to be mean. I was simply explaining a poster point, and then posting my opinion (which is widely shared) when it comes to racing....then you got defensive. maybe you 'read into' my post too much.

To be honest........I think putting 25 "Gs" under the hood of an integra is one of hte dumbest things on earth.....and so do alot of Domestic owners..."HENCE" the reference to ricers. Is a mid 11 respectable?..sure...I just find it pointless when it comes to the '25 Gs' you spent because of/and the car you chose to do it with.

EXAMPLE: Economics.....you buy a 4 cyl because it is most economical for commuting....same applies to racing.

Domestic cars and drivers have nothing to do with the fact that:
A loss is a loss on the street....no excuses

Getting the most out of your car

Racing cars that are in your range of power and ability.

What are you losing respect for?

i still dont understand how your purpose built "race car" rapes a stock Z06 both run mid to high 11's even if a stock Z06 runs 12.0 and you run 11.5 how is that raping someone.

stick around im sure we will find you a race with a 650 hp or less car that will rape you simply because RWD's can launch and FWD's cannot!!!!

you need to give up before you get your feelings hurt. you cannot and never will be able to defend yourself to us. this is LS1tech.com not ihaveanimportracecarthatisclosetorunningasfastasas tockZ06.com

I respect your opinion. I always say to him his own....But I'm not one of these kids who bought an econobox then later came into some money and decided to build it up. I bought this car specifically to make a sleeper. It was my wifes idea to get a 4 door because thats even funnier. It took me 6 months to find a 4 door GSR with under 15,000 miles.

Contrary to your belief, I get much love and respect from import and domestic heads alike. I will always keep this car.... but I'm sick of being limited by fwd even though to me it is such a cool project. As soon as I can get her to blast a mid to low 10 she's gonna sit in the garage and look pretty.......(to me at least). I already have the power now all she needs is the driver mod!!!

BTW My car only runs mid 11's because I suck. with the power I can make... my car should be able to blast a 9. As I get more seat time that number will go lower and lower.

Dude youre cool.You took some abuse here but held up well.
I can see how you wouldnt want to destroy your tires trying to launch,thats exactly what would happen.
I was speaking fairly after the fact with this all being off topic and street racing means no excuses.
These late 80s Buicks are worse than Foxbodies!Its could be a 13sec car or a 10 sec beast.

Thanks man......You're absolutely right about no excuses. If a guy wants to race me for money I don't care if he has a bone stock hyundai accent.... I'll be on full kill mode...... but when we race for fun I just think fun is exactly what it should be!!!

1 question though, how do you spend 25g's on that car? that seems kinda steep. not bashing, i have about 13k in my whole car, and 6k is the purchase price. i will have about 20-25k in it total when its done, after paint work and building a forged 370 with ported heads and stepping up to a 80mm turbo. Plus the way it sits, if i put a torque converter in it, i could do mid 10s no problem at 130mph. cool car though if your getting 650whp, thats serious.
