me vs big winged honda... :P

this is just a vid i picked up visting 89Irocz23 in panama city, i was just taking my time on the way back home and i looked in my rear view mirror and saw a car come towards me quite fast, i was in the fast lane going by a nother car in the right side and the car just slams on his breaks and almost slams in to this car next to me and i just looked over and there was a white honda with some primered wing and he was reving tring to get people to move out of his way so i downsifted it out of od not thinking about much then he comes up to me and revs at me and floors it and slows down and then that is were the vid starts... my lane was completly clear and his lane there was a truck infront of him and i was just like wtf? no way i was going to let a honda cut me off so i had to leave him behind. the guy is a dumbass and would be surprised if he is even 16 from the way he looked. i slowed down after this and just waited up for him but before he got back up to me he turned off.
here is the link i uploaded on my website....

Maybe if some of us spent less time on the computer they'd have more time to fix things...

Who me. Nah, it's not that really, it's paying a shop to fix it. I'm hoping they don't have to reinstall windows, then I have back everything up. All my pics and videos, songs.

Not a really fair match, but..

You still would have beaten him anyways, but I can't say "nice kill :lala: " The kid had a car in front of him....would have been a better vid/kill if it was just you two on an open road....but the engine sure sounds sweet

not to rain on anyones parade but,

just to give you an idea of how rediculous of a race this is.. most ***** hondas (with no forced induction) are capable of anywhere from 15.9-17.9 depending on model trim engine package and mods... so to beat a lightly modded civic.. is not too differant then beating a stock minivan

Yeah, but its not like he was picking on the Honda. The Honda was picking on him.

But still, its not like you actually raced him.. he had a car in front. We know you'd take him though

whats funny about ricers here in the US is that most drive civics and preludes. I just talked to a guy that is in to imports, that just got back from doing a tour in the army stationed at Japan. he says that they don't even bother with hondas there, everything there is Toyotas and Nissans.
silly ricers can't even drive the right cars.

I agree. I have friends in Japan and your friend is for-the-most-part correct. There are a few exceptions, but generally the lower model Hondas are considered rubbish over there. Not saying all Hondas/Acuras are junk tho. Alot of guys over there mod S2000's and NSX's so there are a few good Honda/Acura makes. But nobody would be showing up with Civics wanting to race. Majority of the street racers choose Toyota and Nissan.

no just a select few.. my car is currently in the 14's and i just got crower retainers, springs, and a web cam.. they will be in soon.. the ecu also needs to have a piggy back computer added.. then built bottom end by the fall i hope.. who knows what it will run.. similar setups have gone very low 13's...

i do have forced induction.. (nitrous oxide)

snjracer...
You were the guy saying 13s are slow. That is ridiculous. Slow is 18s. Slow is a car that you have to wait 30 minutes and a mile of room to pull out in the road. And I have never heard of a stock minivan that could even touch 16 seconds. (That was directed at the comment above about stock hondas or whatever.)
You know, you remind me of a guy I used to know. The way you type is the way he talked. And you have that same attitude that if a car runs 12s, 13s are slow. 11s? Then 12s are slow. That is a awkward philosophy. Here's my little view on what's fast:
17s are passable, can be tolerated as long as the car is a sports car. In that case, it tends to disappoint.
16s are acceptable, especially with 4 and 6 cylinders.
15s are pretty quick. For my own part, I could get lazy and say that's fast enough. What the LTD will run in a couple of years-when I'm finished.
14s are very good. Probably what my Olds will be running unless I'm mistaken.
13s...I could not ask for more.
12s...I would turn into an egomaniac.
11s...I would develop a ***-complex.
That's just my 10 cents.

Oh, and not to be picking on you, but here are a few challenges:
1) Try to run 13s without nitrous.
2) Make you car last 5 years.
3) Stop calling people rednecks. I'm from farter up north than you. By your philosophy, I guess that makes me better than you.
4) Keep that cold-hearted low scumbag atheistic heartless piece of gutter trash that you call a friend off of this site.(85z28500ci or whatever-whoever said that comment about Monkie's mother.) As best as you can.


If you can do that, I think we could actually be friends. I'd rather it be that way. I don't like being angry.

snjracer, weren't you bashing 305s too? I believe your words were that the bore and stroke combination was crap and that they could never make power. Forgive me if I'm wrong but from what I read the bore and stroke of a 305 is REAL close to that of the mighty 3.8 turbo we all lust after. ANY motor can make power, heads and the cam make the power. The rest is just a pump, as long as you can hold the bottom end together and gear the car right it can make power (within reason). Please don't bash what you don't understand. I'll race you any day, but we are gonna run a 10 mile stretch, oh and it will have curves. Better get some WS6 suspension on that civic. Drag racing isn't the complete judge of a car

my comments were made towards some ******* bashing me for no reason otehr than the fact that i fealt 13's are not fast... wow sorry for voicing my opinion on a public board... wow... you knwo what the case is... i will be very happy with 13's when i get there... BUT i think it is the fact that i hang out every weekend with domestic enthusiasts... who drive 11 sec chevelles.. and 10 second cutlas... it does a lot to your perception of fast... it makes you really see that what a car can run stock (13's) is really not all that fast.. sorry if that offends you.. i guess it is all relative.. if i hung out with a rice squad.. theyd probably view my car as a full drag car.. if i hung out with a bunch of lowrider trucks, that were all show it would make 13's seem fast.. well i don't.. and to me they are not.. to me sub 12 sec passes are fast, and 12's are very respectable... make my car last 5 years??? it has already last 3 almost 2 on bottle over 30 bottles.. stock internals... and once i complete the build i hardly think that will hinder its lasting ability... and even if it breaks... that only means somethign has to be stronger... once again.. RELAX... im JUST voicing my opinion..

and the 305 discusion.. SAME story.. my expieriance and encounters with them.. have given me my opinion.. right or wrong...

and to the guy that lives near me.. i will race anyone for fun..

my aim is xoccivicx

and to the guy with the 13 second pass of bottle comment... i will not do it because it costs too much.. way cheaper on the bottle.. but there are lsvtec, and crvtec, all motor daily drivers making high 12 sec pass's... and to EVERYONE.. remeber one thing... you talk about new and old technology... they have been making your cars fast for 20 years through bolt ons, and power adders..... they have been modifying mine for 5... gimme 15 years.. and see where im at... imports/sport compacts.. are a young market.. still growing still learning.. give it time..

It's not like the pony car v8 crowd is just going to stand around and let you get close to their performance. Every time something comes out there is always something more powerful and faster than any of your import/sport compact cars stock. I'll eat my shoe when honda(or any company (besides exotics) sporting 4 cyl and 6 cyl) comes out with any sport compact that can beat a 2003 cobra off the showroom floor (N/A would be the most impressive but even turbocharged would do) ! Not to mention that the U.S. is getting into the whole sport compact scene and I think they will be showing the world a thing or two. And the imports/sport compact tuning has been going on a hell of a lot longer than 5 years. It just didn't get real popular in the U.S. till then!

posting to close minded people is pointless.. 5 years... **rolleyes** it was an example.. jeeze.. they have also been modifying domestics for longer than 20... but it was JUST an example.. 2003 cobra, and an econobox civic.. lets compare apples to apples... they are not even remotely close.. ***.. bitch and whine..

and the US is getting into the sport compact??? BBBWWWAAAHHHHHH they have been making them just as long as imports... cavileres, neon, chevettes.. they are all examples of domestic sport compact market..

the import vs domestic argument is gay...:lala:
there is ONLY one valid argument and that is who is faster.. YOU or the guy you are lined up against and it will NOT be decided by internet babble

and the US is getting into the sport compact??? BBBWWWAAAHHHHHH they have been making them just as long as imports... cavileres, neon, chevettes.. they are all examples of domestic sport compact market..

In case you haven't noticed, the cavaliers, neons, and chevettes(WTF?) didn't have any intention of making them fast until japan and every other country oversea's started throwing them over here. And they were not considered a sport compact. Up until people starting modding up civics and such, Sport and compact car did not belong in the same sentence. A neon was used to go get grocery's and so were CIVICS! That's what the small cars were for, fuel effiecient cars! Now because the U.S has seen that there is a lot of money to be made on these so called sport compact cars, they are starting to build them with performance in mind. SVT Focus, Pontiac Vibe, the new supercharged (or turbo'd, can't remember which) cavaliers and sunfires just to name a few. The U.S. just started with these sport compacts and I think they will do great. And explain to me how I'm close minded. I know there are plenty of cars out there (NON U.S.) that are faster than hell! I have lot's of respect for Type R integra's, S2000's, Any vw that is Turbocharged, BMW M series, tons of cars that are great cars. My point was that you said to give you time (15 years) and see where your sport compacts are at. So, my point was that the more technologically advanced all your sport compact cars become, the american sports car will also be getting more advanced, therefor you will not catch up. That's my opinion. And don't make up stuff to make the whole sport compact scene sound better than it is.

what do pro stock cars run????

just curious... because imports will catch up.. because there is a wall... my import may never catch up , because it does not have the financial backing that pro level imports have..... i mean an svt focus is a fair thing to compare a civic SI to.., and to be completely honest.. over the past year and a half i have seen to things happen.. 1. sport compacts became cool 2. manufactuers decided to make cars look completely ***.. the new civic SI, the focus.. ***.. all these cars are disgusting looking.. im sure even all you domestic owners can appreciate the body style of a late 90's hatch, compared to these shrunked mini van things rolling all over the place... cars any more are just nasty looking.. once again just my opinion..

and about the close minded thing.. sorry.. that was dirrected to the mustang comment..

I see your point man. I know you can make anything fast with however much money you throw at it. And I totally totally agree with you about the *** cars that have been coming out! Especially the Toyota matrix! It looks just like a mini minivan! LOL! The only thing that looks good in the vibe is the interior! I seriously don't like the whole station wagon on steroids thing that is going around right now but people are buying them and that's all the car company's care about. I'll never understand them. But hey, that's why they make cars, to make money.

First off, let me apologize to firbird for causing a row on his thread.

My main gripe is..."Ford sucks"?
Pardon? Let's make this fair and compare 4 cylinders. I have seen (in a magazine) a 2.3 Mustang doing a wheel stand and pulling 10s all day. Not enough? How about v8s? So the 460, 429 CJ, 428 CJ, 427, 351 CJ...just to name a few...suck? Pull your head out of your ***, rich boy. Maybe I shouldn't make that assumption, but these guys here buy their cars and mod them. You pay out the money for a civic, granted it isn't much, do virtually nothing to it, and pump it full of nitrous...and expect respect? It's a power ADDER- for you it's the soul source of power. But it will kill your engine. I can promise you that.

You seem to know everything. So 305s are crap? There's LG4s with 200k + on them. And hear this from a predominantly Ford man...as far as durability, from my experience, which isn't godlike like yours- it doesn't mean scientific fact, they are the longest lasting, most reliable, strongest 5.0 I have come in contact with. That's right, in my opinion better than a 302 Ford (ouch) and better than a 307 Olds (ouch). Just my opinion. How can you be so shallow as to put down a whole company- like Ford (Especially driving a late model Honda) and all 305s when they aren't THAT different than a 350? What's the difference? If a 350 is stronger a 305 can be made to match it.
This is ridiculous. Let's see if you Honda can finish its 5 year term. Then how about a second? That's totally out. It won't finish the second. You'll pump that thing full of "car steroids" with an unneccesary risk to yourself and blow it up.

Believe me. You will dump alot of money into that car. Too much. I'm not here to say "hondas suck". No, that's prejudice and beneath me. I'm just saying that you are making a mistake. Several in fact. My Crown Victoria has seen 160k. And it will seen 200 at least. That's not a bad car, my friend. It's not fast, but durability means a lot to me. Maybe I'm different from most.

im not sure about why you are so hellbent on my car not lasting..my money my choice... and as far as respect.. i don't need it... i respect ANY fast car for any reason. just me, and the way i am.. im there to make money here and there, and surprise a few v-8's... you are so anti nitrous.. not too sure why... as stated i could have built an equal all motor setup, or turbo.. or whatever.. nitrous works good for me and it was a cheap fix.. and no i hardley know everything... especialy about domestics.. funny thing is im here to learn. not defend my cars name plate.. just seems like that is all i have been doing lately..

so much hate and hostility (not you in particular) about NOTHING... i have a 14 sec car that has lasted me quite some time and i drive it every day.. i will contine to drive it.. and at some poin tblow it up on juice.. no big surprise... then hopefully make it even faster.. i will always use nitrous.. not cause it is cool .. but because i like it.. im hoping for a 9500 redline after the complete build... and i love that juice is constant over the whole powerband.. it is not progressive.. it is instant and full..

Well...your choice as you said. But you are going to need a lot of it. And that can be dangerous.
My point is...The Crown Victoria could be made super fast with the right amount of nitrous. Easy. Except for the bulletproof overhaul. I could hit 13s whatever. The sky is the limit.
But what I'm going to do is work the hell out of it and run 15s with about 230 hp. Why? Because that's the only way I can feel good about it. Everyone will see that I have really put my heart and soul into that car. Some will say I wasted my money. You may, perhaps.
But there is another reason. Like I said, durability is the thing that draws me. Most people jump blindly into a fast vehicle. Speed is their main draw. It's my 3rd or 4th. Difference in people. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but suping an older engine seems quite a bit cheaper.
And I'm not anti Import. I like VWs and I'm a Subaru fanatic. I'll sit and drool over and old Subaru like Homer Simpson over a donut. And this really freaks out the passerbys. They figure I must be looking at the Subaru and seeing something else. Difference in people.

Everyone will see that I have really put my heart and soul into that car. Some will say I wasted my money. You may, perhaps.<-- i livein a glass house so i try not to throw stones

But there is another reason. Like I said, durability is the thing that draws me. <-- don't you think the "bullet proof overhaul" as you put it will give me that reliability..

Most people jump blindly into a fast vehicle. Speed is their main draw. It's my 3rd or 4th. Difference in people. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but suping an older engine seems quite a bit cheaper.
And I'm not anti Import. I like VWs and I'm a Subaru fanatic.<-- they are two cars i to am crazy about.. the new wrx is rediculous, all teh way around.. excelent at handling, and straight line.. it is honestly one of the most impressive cars i haev ever seen.

I'll sit and drool over and old Subaru like Homer Simpson over a donut. And this really freaks out the passerbys. They figure I must be looking at the Subaru and seeing something else. Difference in people.
****thank you for not attaching your super long signature with EVERY post.. i think we all know what you drive by now (and i have only been here what a week??).. lol *****

Sorry. Force of habit. And the fact that such as my cars are- not the most fancy thing in the world...I'm still proud of them.
