Which car should I use?
 

My sister's boyfriend is buying a '90 Accord sedan. I'm thinking of racing him (probably go to the local track), but I don't know which car I should use. I don't know what motor it is exactly. Here are our specs:

His Accord

SOHC
CAI
Headers
3" downpipe
Full exhaust
I think a short-throw shifter
(I will know more about his this weekend)

Mine

87 Camaro
2.8 5-speed w/ 3.42 non-posi rear
Gutted dual snorkel intake w/ K&N filters
Full tune-up
New clutch-kit (OEM style)

88 Firebird
350 TBI
3.08 gears non-posi
700r4 (don't know the stall)
Hi-flow cat
2.5" exhaust w/ VForce muffler
Open element air cleaner


The firebird isn't running right now but should be up and running soon and might end up being carb.

So which one of my cars should I use to beat him? Or should I try both of them, see what my 2.8 can do and then try my Firebird? Could my 2.8 win? Don't know when this will happen, but I'll post when it does.

Firebird would whoop it
but the 2.8.......maybe.
but if the guys is having plans on buying a '90 accord?!?
then he's messing up in life sumwhere.
i understand a 93+ with vtec but cmon!:doh:

Hahaha!

It was only selling for $350 with some cosmetic damage.

He's a sucker for imports (needs an intervention). Yeah, I didn't quite understand the choice of the car, I tried to get him to get a third gen, but no luck. He used to have a Supra but moved out here to be with my sister.

You're seriously going to take the time to SET UP a race with a '90 Accord? Why? :lmao::lmao::lmao:

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Why not? It's all for fun anyways, being a buddy of mine. I got a good look at it, engine bay is pretty gutted, and has some nice work done to it. The PO wasn't a *****. Needs some things replaced (ie motor mount).

And besides, it would be a good test for my 2.8 Camaro.

And if I lose, I'll post it, I'm not afraid or ashamed of a loss. A good learning experience.

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Just run the Firebird and waste him. ;)

Re: Which car should I use?
 

I just might have to, as I'm getting really close to figuring out the problem with it and should have it running in the next couple days!

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Easy kill. :)

Re: Which car should I use?
 

I'll just use both. Wait until he gets it running at 100% then I'll take the Firebird.

:nod:

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Well he sold it. So there goes that idea. Pfft. Maybe he'll be smarter and buy a better quality car instead of something that broke the day he bought it. He did sell it to some dumbass that bought it for $600.

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Ahhh another race that never happened.

Re: Which car should I use?
 

I was all ready and everything. He came over today and said he sold it.

Maybe he'll wise up and not buy an already broken Honda.

I'll get him to race! He's looking for a new car.

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Man thats ghey. as a owner of BOTH a 90 accord and a 2.8 firebird i can kinda give an accurate judgement.

My accord had an intake, headers & exhaust, pretty much the same stuff. With an 2.2 f22a. It is faster than the 2.8 (nobody better argue that, i KNOW it is). It wouldn't be a horrible loss, but still most likely a loss. then again i cant drive both cars to determine.. :lmao:

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Maybe he'll buy something faster to better test my Firebird. :)

Re: Which car should I use?
 

well i guess we will wait and see lol

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Yeah. I have to replace the fuel pump, so he better keep his new car for when the Firebird is done.

In the meantime, I'll stick to imaginary races with my Firebird. Oh I can't wait to take it out.

Re: Which car should I use?
 

he probably realized that bringing a 1990 honda accord to the track is the bigest RIPOFF ever

Re: Which car should I use?
 

:lmao:

Which is why I think he only wanted to do it on the street.

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Hell, I'll drive one of them for ya.......Go or blow!!!!! LOL

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Lol I sold the accord to feed my firebird addiction:D
:burnout:

Re: Which car should I use?
 

Good choice!

Well, Firebird is running at 3 psi of fuel...time to replace that tired fuel pump. Bleh.
