^^^

It's funny when guys try to rub it in your face that they've been a member of an internet forum a long time, or have millions of posts.

I can't even begin to comprehend where, when or how that makes one believe to be better than someone else.

Then again, I'm just a rookie at this forum thing.

6K for a high 14-15 sec Integra that doesn't come with a built motor to keep up with a 541WHP corvette? ****, where are they?
You're stretching it just a little there, buddy.

A 300-350whp car that weighs 2650lbs is pretty damn quick... just about as quick as the one in this story. I don't know why you think it would take a built motor and an outrageous turbo setup to do that. If the Integra had nearly as much power as him, it would have either stayed even or *gasp* beaten him

There are lot cheaper ways to go fast than buy a z06 (like building up an integra)BUT they look badass and are quick on top of it. I wish I could afford one

They turn pretty well too, considering that it's and not European, even though some people even today seem surprised by that.

I was sure the Integra was lighter than my car, but I had no idea it was about 500 lbs lighter

SQ version of the S-Trim. Unless you have a well trained ear, you wouldn't know the motor has F.I. until the BOV lets go between shifts. It starts developing boost at 3000 rpm. Here's the dyno graph:

It wasn't a question.... it was a statement in hopes that you don't really believe that your 12.4 car is unbeatable. Back in 96 a friend of mine had a 12.4 eclipse gsx... and we thought his car was unbeatable... but back then it kinda was. Now 12.4 ain't crap.... hell 11.4 ain't crap!!!!

It was just a joke man.
This is LS1tech, 12.4 is slow compared to the standard here.

BTW, GSR, you really need some track videos. I've seen very few FWD cars in the 13's and 11's would be very impressive.
