ok my friend just bought himself a new civic ex and claims he can beat me "cuz he has V-TEC" is what he says im tell him its
but he doesnt believe me (yeah he can beat my friends v8 t-bird too) (again with the v-tec) he always wants to race till i have my car then he chickens out. even when we see each other on the street he wont go! he pisses me off, granted i know my v6 will rape hes honda
anybody else have any problems like this
stupid hondas thinkin there fast!!

 

I had a ***** in a class at school who thought it was the fastest thing around. He actually raced me and I totally walked him. Now he won't talk to me and his ***** buddies who think they are fast won't race me either

 

You have a V6? I'd say that VTEC will take you quite easily, sorry.

 

i raced a civic with my V6 once and i walked him

i guess it wasnt VTEC

 

The new 2001 vtecs have 120 hp SOHC. Such a crappy vtec if you ask me. I say run him, I think you will win!

 

My buddy took a V6 VTECH down with his full size Bronco with a 302. The Bronco was filled with stuff as well. They aren't that fast.

 

yeah i say i could take him quite easliy cuz all that 127 hp pullin him off the line is nothing
i can jump on my freinds GTP 240 hp car and stay in front of him till like 25-30 mph
but everytime we have the chance he wont go even if were at the track at the same time he wont run so i can see his time and mine

 

you can stay in front of a GTP that long? what monster engine do you have?

 

I guess i should have paid more attention to the first post, nevermind.
I have a 2.8 Camaro with intake and exhaust mods, and my dad has a 2001 GTP. He tore me up upwards of 10 times on the local roads....He had me from 0 mph all the way up until I couldnt see him anymore.
If yours is a 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, or 3.8, I would say it could take a 305 tbi, proabably 305 tpi, and maybe more (but can't really say that since i haven't driven more)
gtp is a killer, I could never see a V6 camaro take one without turbo or juice. Thats my opinion.

 

Are you talking about the v6 taking the gtp or the civic? Because I know for a fact that a few 6's on the board could take a civic with vtec But the gtp, keep dreaming! The new gtp's can be put in the 13's with just a pulley (supercharger) swap! It's one nice family car!

 

i was talking about the GTP; my 6 can take a lot of hondas and what not, but no way in hell any V6 camaro could come close to the GTP.

 

With the extra low 1st gear and the trans powering the proper wheels I could easily see him staying with a GTP through 1st. Especially if the other guy can't drive. I beat a 4.6 5 spd running a 15.8. I know that's slow, but the ign. kept crapping out(I should be down in the 14s). He just spun through 1st spun throgh 2nd. I guess it scared him enough that he bogged it in 3rd. Terrible! I think he ran a low 16.

 

i hate ricers as much as any one else but a v6 camaro isn't much to be bragging about. but after race post what happens.



its better to then to fade away!!!

 

my buddy has a top of the line accord v6 v-tec and that thing is sweet. all leather, the thing will run into the 90s (mph) and be a smooth as hell on the road and feel like you are going 40. it feels fast (it's stock) we never raced, (both of us are not that type) but i don't know what it'll do....
later

im taking about the civic i can take it i raced one today some year model everything and beat it, well were were already doing 70 on the highway and tried to gun it so i did and stared pullin on him, but i get to race my freinds civic vtec next thursday!! i know i cant take the GTP 1/8 track he runs a 10 flat and i run a 11.4 im just saying i can beat him up through first gear , which he still is pissed about so i told him to go get a RWD car or AWD!!!!

 

allright guys post your results
race is on thursday at the track
ill post the slip for all to see my win
:lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

 

that is the funniest thing i have ever seen
maybe cuz i know the simpsons like the back of my hand and can actually hear how he would say that but i dunno
thats great though
keep them coming!:hail:

 

I have a 3.1 5 spped with a few mods.

I can take alot of 305 TBI's by more then 1 car length. Raced a new Civic V Tec and raped it, he stopped after he heard my 3rd gear chirp.

I do not even bother to race 4 cyl V tec's.

He said ok lets go to the highway then and race 50-90, I say ok. Same thing, I down shift into 3rd, 5500 go 4th, I am doing 85-90 and shift 5th he is nowhere to be seen. I guess he pulld off from the embarassment.
of course he kept saying, well I get better MPG then you!(the last desperate statement to make his car sound somehwat good), I said doubt it I can get over 300 Miles a tank. usually I get 320-330, so thats damn near 29 on mixed city/highway. He then stompped off never to be seen again

 

how do u get 300 miles for your tank
i have a 3.1 v6 and get 225 if im on the highway the whole time!!
what few mods do u have
all mine r in my sig!

 

hold up now! i'm not an import fan by any means, but my girlfriend has a brand new Honda s2000. it's a v-tech, and once you hit about 6k, that thing pulls all the way to 9k. hard. i'm sure that car would take a few cars on this board. but my favorite part of her car is the big red "start" button. i love pushing it.

 

I don't think camaro hunter was talking about taking an s2000. A s2000 is quite a bit faster than a v6 camaro. but not than a v8!

 

I have a start button on my car.

Damn electrical system pissed me off enough that I just bypassed it. HA!

 

yeah if its a ex then its a slow pos. if it was a si then it would be a good race

 

well its only a 2001 Civic EX
but i would like to race a SI, i think that would be a really good race too!

 

Bottom line here - if you have a V6, I would stay away from Civic EX's or Si's, and Integra GS-R and Type-R's, with manual, not sure about how the auto's fair though. They will own you if they have manual, I'm sorry, but they will.

As for the V6 VTEC being 0wned by a bronco. There are only 2 V6 VTEC's I'm aware of, Accord and NSX, and since you didn't say NSX I'm assuming it was an accord. Accords aren't that fast, but they are pretty d@mn nice cars. I actually want one, but I can tell you they aren't fast, so a bronco beating an Accord isn't a great feat...

 

The 2001 EX's have 127 hp. A v6 camaro has 140. This race could go either way. But an older SI has 160 hp. They will whoop you.

 

yes grant it the SI has more stock hp then the v6 camaro, but im thinkin the fwd cripples then off the line, so with that in mind it should be a good race, but then again this is me thinkin and for some reason i can jump out ahead of my freinds GTP all the way through first and he has 100 more hp then me

civic beat a v6 maro i think not

 

You're just mad that i beat you. I know, i only won once, but its cool to say that i atleast beat you once =) I'll be posting a video on my website soon. nolanadams.com

 

The fact that it was even close makes me thankfull I dont have a v6.

 

had diagnosis done to today and ya my cylinders are miss firing
two of my wires were shorting out at higher speeds
gotta fix it and see what happens

 

those are ****ty reaction times for the EX..2.5 seconds ..what was he doing watching something else...instead of the lights...


and for ur comment crazy hawaiian ...dont get me wrong but i would rather own a v6 than a TBI camaro v8..cos the top end in the TBI sucks ...(yeah TBis have off the line torque but thats it)

 

I replied to your PM but here it is for the rest of you.

92 3.1 5 Speed. Mods...
Injectors, port polish intakes, Clutch, rear tires Firehawks SZ50's, custom CAI, K&N relocated batt.

I have not raced a NSX(there are none around here) I have raced Type R integras and beat them. I am still tring to find out when the tack is open around here (so I can get times) .. I went by there tonight to see if they were open(It was 7ish) and no one was there, but yet I heard music going through the PA system... Go fig???

I raced a new Civic SI(kid from college wanted to) so we dragged from a 30MPH roll, down roughly 1/4-2/3 mile to the turn(a pretty sharp 90 degree) and I took him easily. Not to mention he had to really slam on the brakes for the turn, while I took it at over 55! LOL No tire noise/loose of traction at all!. Gotta love those Z Sway bars and wonder bar!. He then followed me onto I-57 and got beside me after I got straight and said lets go. I told him 60-100(I still have the stock chip and I have that damn limiter on it) so he said ok... well I beat him there too...

I don't know if it was auto or stick, but I know I beat it baddly...

 

Well it was my first time out to the track. I just did it for the hell of it, not really much else to do on a thursday night. Oh well, not like i'm gonna rice out my car like alot of other ppl there did. Its just for the hell of it. *shrugs* I'm not turnin pro either.
oh also one other run that we took here's the times, have slip also if you want me to post.

that was like my second or third run ever. I know i only have 127 HP, i dont plan on racin it, sept maybe for the hell of it, i also raced a lightning, got killed he ran like a 10 or something that run i ran like a 11.7. Now lastnight was the first time i redlined it and the revlimited kicked, i was pretty surprised by that too, it was kinda funny. I think i got video of that too. Ask and i'll try to find it.

 

the lightning he ran did a 8.9 not a 10
it was funny though there was that lightning doing a 8.9 another doing a 9.6 and the last doing a 10.4, i was like which one is not a lightning

yeah but anyways i beat the civic on 4 cylinders and 2 crippled ones, to of my spark plug wires lose the shock, the harder i push the gas the more power losses, but ill have that fixed by next time i go and ill have my shift kit

so what i can do then

 

Man those are some close times. Still sad for the Civic though because you have a bigger car than him and he has almost the same amount of HP as you yet you still took him. 11 sec 1/8th though geez

 

I think it's a nation wide problem........Civic's are horribly slow......

a friend of mine tried telling me he did a burnout in his mom's EX the other day........I didn't even respond.....walked away

krazycracka55, I get about 29.7 mpg on the highway maybe it's the wing.....

 

well i knew i could take him from the day i took my bro's 87 fiero
it had the 2.8 v6 and weighed what all of 1500lbs!
yeah its an 11 second 1/8
hoping the tune up and shift kit will trow it down into the 10's!

 

on the gas thing
im hoping its my spark wire problem
cuz its trying to get the right amount of power to those cylinders
that arent getting it
but as of right now i get 200 miles to my tank
but ill see if the new 8.8 wires and bosch +4 give it any more!

 

I think it would be a good race. I raced a civic ex and smoked him bad. I have a geo prizm and that smoked the civic by a fender length.

 

well i guess it was i beat him on coughcough4cylinderscoughcough
which is actually true cuz the next day i got my tune up and they should me i had 2 bad wires that were causing those 2 cylinder to lose power, i started to laugh at that one, o well thursday after the 4th ill go run it with the +4platinums and the new 8 accel wires and see what happens!

 

nuff said

 

thats awsome!!!!!!!!

 

k now that i have composed my self and can sit on the seat right, thats the funniest thing i have seen, keep them coming!
