Such a deal....

I just had to share this. Okay Horse Power TV is re-running a build up on a Honda Civic. Shown today was step 1. Take a stock 187hp Honda, then bolt on a new cold air intake and exhasut system for some hp gains.

Well, after dropping $1000 they gained a whopping 10hp! Oooooh, what a bargain.

Consequently, PHR TV then runs an episode showing inexpensive hp add-ons for good ole American muscle. For around $250 the were several ways to add 10 - 20 hp.

Hmmm, let's see, which would you rather drive?

Gee Bret,
That's an easy one!!! The Honda!! What else??? Heck, you have a "cool" car, a great looking babe (since they seem to only like Imports) and not only that........you get such a great sounding car!!!

Why do you think that's the only cars I own????

Too funny!!! Just think, all they had to do, was just add a decal or two!!!! Ha!!!!

Later,

George

They all got together (money wise) and build an SI with an 80 shot that got them to 13.9. Not bad for a honda. I agreed to race them with my 5.0 with a 100 shot for $500. They said "Give us a month, do whatever you want to your car we'll be working on our's". So two month's later , they said, "We are ready, Let's GO WE ARE READY!, What have you done to your car?". I said "Dropped a 383!. They decided they needed more time. :lala: :lala: :lala:
