Yea they look like real speed deamons. Those are time from people not magiznes. There is about half a second differnce between them and the civic.

Before you start talking shit about something you nothing about (again) at least do a little researrch so you don't look like a complete idiot (again). Its painfuly obvious you have no idea what your saying (again).

240sxhoe 01-29-2004 09:22 AM

wtf? a second is a huge difference. what was the last time you even been at the track? just f crist! keep it coming, im still laughin

drdingo21 01-29-2004 09:29 AM

yea a second is. but its less then half a second differnce moron. You need to either learn to read, or just get off the computer altoghter.

drdingo21 01-29-2004 09:33 AM

BTW, i never said beat, i said hang. I figure i better clarfiy that with you sense you don't seem all that inteligent.
Another thing to keep in mind is those times are people that can actually drive. I only ever raced 3 gts (got beat in the civic everytime) But it was never more than a car lenth, and that was when i quit racing.

Now stop being a asshat and arguing with me about nothing.

AzCivic 01-29-2004 09:42 AM

to all the retards to who dont have a clue as to what their talking about: shut the **** up.

240sxhoe 01-29-2004 12:05 PM

jeez. you make me laugh. theres a reason most serious import inthusiasts laugh at majority of honda guys. go shine your clearlights. hang. hahah . any car can tecnically hang. ****in le baron can "hang" you are nothing more than a poser. grow up, when you are among serious people and dont base your assumption on Fast and the Furious movies, than we will talk. jeez...:pukey

drdingo21 01-29-2004 12:09 PM

lol. I don't understand. I show you that mustangs are as slow as a civic, and you tell me to grow up? Well, im also a domestic guy, and own a lexus, so i guess im not jsut a honda guy, i must be putting the bad name on everyone then huh?

And the reasone "any car can hang with mustang gt is because they are slow, you stupid pervert. Thats the whole point behind it. Its almost like i have to explian every thing i type in great detail just so you can comprehend it.

GT40FIED 01-29-2004 12:41 PM

I'm sorry, but I gotta agree with 240sxhoe here. When my '84 was bone stock motor-wise (only mod was exhaust) I could pull on stock Civics...and that was with a whopping 150hp (stock rated at 140hp w/ CFI). And as for owning a Lexus being a domestic...I don't really consider that a domestic since it's owned and operated by Toyota...essentially being an extention of said company. I find that people identify domestics and imports by the company's base of operation. So yeah...I'd call a Lexus an import.

drdingo21 01-29-2004 12:51 PM

I got to thinking. And this will be my last attempt to show you two idiots how wrong you are. I will be completly unbiased and use everyone elses 1/4 times. These will all be taken from v6perforamce.net

Quote:

First run ever: 14.562 @ 95.34 mph
My launch was pretty decent: 2.279 60 foot- I let out relatively slowly at about 2000 rpms and had mad wheel hop (thank you Honda for no LSD )
My 1->2->3 shifts were good but my 3->4 was too early, and it sucks I had to shift right before hitting the 1/4 mile mark (my 3->4 shiftpoint is 92 mph).
That was is first time ever at the track and he manged a 14.5.

Quote:

Saw a stock 7th gen. run a 14.1 at E-Town Sunday. I spoke to the guy later that day and I told him about this site. Hope he posts his slip here. I couldn't believe it was stock! Those 6 speeds are pretty damn quick!

2nd run. Skipped the water, did a dry whole shot. Launched at about 1000rpm and went into the throttle real easy. As the tires spun, I kind of feathered the throttle. Tires still spun too much, but turned out the best run out of the 4.

I would be able to launch around 1200-1500rpm and wot, plus I would be running a smaller diameter tire for quicker rpms and my wheel/tire combo would be a little lighter then what I have now.

Also after look further at the mustang specs, they suck at the twisties. I dunno how accurate this is but after a quick search the 2003 cobras only pull .85?

.82?
And almost the exact performance acceration perfomance of my car?

GT40FIED 01-29-2004 02:37 PM

Alright...call me and whoever else an idiot all you want but it won't change the fact that you're wrong. The numbers you're using are unofficial stuff from other sites and for all you know could be totally lies. Then there's the driver factor. Either you're driver of the year or the guys you race are absolutely horrible, yet I find it hard to believe you'd consistently find all of these terrible drivers. Again with the Motor Trend...don't put stock in ANYTHING you read there as far as their tests...they're always way off on just about every stat vs. other publications, namely enthusiast mags when the tests are conducted by people who ACTUALLY know how to drive a car hard. And did I read that right? Did you just compare your car favorably to an '03 Cobra? The '03 Cobras will without a doubt blow the doors off of ANY Honda product perhaps short of an S2000 (and that would have to be on a road course). Again, you're trusting Motor Trend. They're so used to testing FWD cars I think they've forgotten how to drive a RWD car with real power. So please, before you go around calling other people idiots, consider the source. I've actually tried to be fairly respectful so far...I just disagreed. But if you're gonna be a dick about it then people will ignore everything you say...and not just because you're wrong.

Those are numbers other drivers are getting. I don't understand you. I posted links to magzines and you say that the drivers will do better. I post links to drivers and you say they are lies? They are numbers froma forum just like this one.

no you didn't read that right. I wasn't comapring anything. I asked. Hence the "?"

Im not trying to be a dick. I told you i beat that svt and i told you how i beat. People called BS on me i post number that show they are about equal in performance and you call me a dick? If you don't like it, then stop reading the thread. Plain and simple.

AzCivic 01-29-2004 06:51 PM

if the stupid new cobra is dyno'ing so great why is it getting trap speeds just shy of the regular vette? oh wait i just found where the cobra weighs like 3800lbs, awesome

oh and i think it was asked earlier why people dont get all butt hurt when an import dyno's a little less than advertised, one: performance minded people do get butt hurt...two:most people can over look one flaw if everything else is up to par, unlike in the mustang where everything(according to actual owners, i myself am not stupid enough to buy one) is crappy.

Oh this I love. So many people can't take the fact that the Mustang is where it's at performance-wise they've started comparing it to a Vette. Right...the Mustang which was never supposed to be in the same league as the Corvette and costs around $15K-$20K less. And not only were people comparing it to the Vette...but to the uber-Vette, the Z06 and it STILL made a pretty good stand. Does that answer your question?

Dingo...look, you read too much into stuff. Not once have I stated that you or anyone else was lying. I just stated possibilities specifically to AVOID calling anyone a liar. I'm not saying you didn't beat the guy, I'm just saying it's a little hard to swallow in a straight up race and that some of the facts you used to back it up may not be so reliable. That's all. I remember once years ago some douche in an Escort actually wanted to race me. Light turned green and as soon as I hit the throttle a wire going to my MSD box snapped. I didn't get more than 10ft and the car just died. I'm sure that guy went out and told all of his friends how he kicked this Mustang's ass. I just think the Cobra is a little faster than you're giving it credit for and your Accord may be a little slower than you think.

240sxhoe 01-29-2004 07:38 PM

it sounds like your getting some major bullshit from Import tuner. your mind is ****ed by ricer magazines. STOCK ex civic will never run 14s. stock SR runs low 14s.

please stop the bullshit. you have no idea what are you talking
about.


yea, i bet you one of those guys that think "vtec is just like turbo"

there will never be a civic ex STOCK running low 15s either. no power beyond turbo. amen.

what should the cobra be compared to, an element?

btw the price difference is only about 8k$, not 15-20 :rolleyes:

Well...unfortunately Mustangs became so popular that it forced Chevy to halt production of the Camaro/TA platform. Now they've got the GTO...but we'll all have to wait and see what that does.

$8K? Are you f@cking joking? I was a little off, but base of both models are a $10K difference. Besides, with a Vette you're buying a name. If you took $2K of that money you'd save you could easily out handle and out accelerate a Vette and you'd have a car that you could be proud of...not one you just drove off a showroom floor. I'm sure when Ford starts production of the GT (not the Mustang, the new GT40 style GT) you'll compare it to a Lambo since it (according to Motor Trend or Road & Track or one of those shitty mags which you guys put sooooo much faith in) handed a Ferrari Modena it's ass on a road course.

AzCivic 01-29-2004 09:22 PM

msrp cobra 35k, msrp vette 43k, simple math man.

what are you talking about, now your bringing the GT40 into all this!?!? lets compare it to the C5-R then.

Ok...we're obviously getting our prices from different places. I've got the MSRP of a Cobra at $34K and a Vette at $44K. As for where the GT fits into all of this, it's a simple matter of comparison. You can't compare a Vette with a Cobra no more than you can compare the GT with an Italian supercar because they're not made to be in direct competition. It either says something really good about Ford that they're comparing the Cobra to a Vette or it says something bad about Chevy that Ford's lowely Mustang has come up to take on the Vette.

AzCivic 01-29-2004 09:37 PM

what else is there to compare it(vette) too? a viper? it already dominates that in racing.

AzCivic 01-29-2004 09:38 PM

i just did a search for msrp's and got cobra of 35k and the vette at 43.

Nothing I have said has been aimed at you. I don't think my accord is insanely fast. I do have respect for the new cobras but thats it. An model below that is slow. I posted links to several websites that show the cobra I raced running around the same numbers as my car. All I did was post a story that happened. Then a couple of idiots told me I was lying so I posted more than enough proof to prove otherwise.
I understand your story, but this was not the case considering to the amount of speed we got to and I was still slowly pulling away from him. And the thumbs up and nod. It was a race plain and simple that he lost and he signaled good race.

As azcivic pointed out (don’t you think that’s weird we both think the same way?), you’re a moron again.

I never said the civic runs low 14s. Hell I even posted times from peoples website of the mustang at mid 15s. To me anything at or below a 15.3 is low 15s so I think its quite possible for a civic to run low 15s with bolt-ons.

240sxhoe 01-30-2004 01:06 PM

still winning is winning. hanging does not count. your stock civic ex dx and bblah blah blah other trims maybe besides SI suck big dick stock. Vtec or not, stock is still sub-110 hp. crankhp is always higher. you will never win without serious power application, aka Turbo. amen.

you can hang with any car, but you will never beat it. you if you have no strong middle range you are ****ed. learn a little more about engines and how things work. maybe will help. if you want ill post some websites you can kinda glare at the concept.

you think bolt ons are that efficient? please! what the ****! you spend 1500 on h/i/e to get what? mac gain of 15 horseS? dynos in magazines lie, you will find it out years later. why not spend around 6grand on rebuild and turbo setup? that is where real power is. you are such a ricer. :yes: :yes:

drdingo21 01-30-2004 01:12 PM

What the hell? You just babling dumb shit. Where did i say bolt ons are efficent? As a matter of fact if you had any kind of common sense at all you could have searched the site and seen i reccomend against bolts and for a turbo you stupid prick.
And bolt on to a 4 cyclinder is a wast of money, period.

No, you can't. A civic will never hang with an 03 cobra stock for stock, of a neon srt-4, or an wrx, or an evo...jesus your stupid.

And even though i clarfied before (which obviosuly wasn't enough) I never said win.

Now stop being a little *****.

well according to you captain Rice, a second difference or so is called hanging. or maybe i missread again? just agree that you are a ricer and be on with it come on.

once again your own words. bolt on wont nock off .5 secs or even .3.

Im sure a civic ex with full bolts very little gas, and weight cut here and there WILL run low 15s.

240sxhoe 01-30-2004 01:20 PM

you said bolt ons on a 4 cyl are a waste of time, why then are you talking about it?

drdingo21 01-30-2004 01:22 PM

They are. To me dumping over 1.5k of money into bolt ons only to gain a second or so is a stupid waste compared to spend 2.5-3k on a turbo setup.

Am i wrong?

240sxhoe 01-30-2004 01:39 PM

no. although you wont gain "a second or so" wit bolt on. imho only bolt ons worthy getting with your turbo setup is clutch/lighter flywheel setup. but thats about it. i would also focus on suspension first before putting a big turbo on the car.

drdingo21 01-30-2004 02:02 PM

I agree. with the turbo setup.

But disagree with full bolts on. I am more than willing to bet you will gain a second.

GT40FIED 01-30-2004 02:19 PM

Lol...this reminds me of some street racing thing I saw on TV where some guy had dumped (his own estimation) close to $30K into an N/A RHD Civic, I believe it was. He was so proud it would run 14s. Then when he went to race it, it broke down. Apparently the 240hp he claimed was just too much for the car to handle. Hehe.

240sxhoe 01-30-2004 02:25 PM

jeez that guy was a moron. with 30k in my 240 i will be pushing close to 800. idle will be kinda rough tho.

GT40FIED 01-30-2004 02:31 PM

$30K? I've got just a little over $10K in my car (that includes transmission and suspension) and I'm sitting on 657 block-cracking hp. With $30K I could be looking at well over 1000hp.
