was driving around, looking for some good skate spots with mah friends, and this guy in a 97ish Integra "Type R" rolls his window down, gives the Maro a compliment, then slips the, "But I can take it" line, so i tell him to line up, unexpectedly, he pulls me off the line, maybe a bout my bumper to his quater panel, then i gain back my ground, get in front of him, and he tries, but doesnt take it, i win off by about 2-3 lenghts, but his like integra had mad torque

 

well then it was not stock they only have 123ft.lbs stock

 

So what did he say after he lost, did his vtec not kick in or something?

 

haha, i dun know, he turned off at the next light

 

Ahhh... the excuses, they are about the only thing that make streetracing worthwile anymore

 

thing is though who really needs the excuse
if he was racing a 383 against this teg and even though he only lost by 2-3 cars...

383 should be a little better then that I would think

 

yeah, exactly, meaning he had some better than stock stuff

 

good kill. I hate **** or Imports

 

I thoroughly despise anything containing the nature of an import, or r!cer, then i hate ppl who take an import, and put an american motor in it and call it pure american muscle

 

It's fine with me that he only lost by 2-3 cars to a 383, it's just what he said at the beginning of the race that makes the excuses so funny, not trying to get all anti import on you Rx7speed.

 

I understand


how many times have you pulled up next to a car thinking oh I can take it?


just being he is an import driver makes him no different then any of us who think that when we pull up next to the guy

it's not that oh he is import gotta stick up for him. just if he was able to hang that well he prolly had reason to think he might have taken it

 

hey man there is adifference between ***** and import


but for the last one
pure american muscle in an import body that kinda stupid to say

but domestic engine ni import body isn't bad idea. light car strong motor is always good combo

 

yeah, if his integra ran well like that, then he may think it may be a fairly stock thirdgen and knows he can take a stock thirdgen. No excuses necessary for anyone. His 383 is fairly quick, like low-mid 13's?? IF that integra hung for alittle and lost by 2-3 cars, thats pretty good. He probably running high 13's and would have gotten my L98. No reason to nock on either person. Sorta like I am sticking up for the import guy, but give him some credit for what he thought he may be able to take. At least he gave you a thumbs up for the camaro.

 

Yeah not many Ricers around here give thumbsup to Camaros. THey just think there tuff sh*t and they can wipe anyone on the road. 82Crossfir i wanna see som pics of your 383 man.If you dont mind

 

lol nick, i just posted in the 383 Mazda topic, read that one about the pics


but yeah i was kinda surprised he hung around or even gave me a thumb

 

Did it have 5 lugs? And what color was it?

 

not sure, didnt pay attention, but i know it was a dark red color

 

Do you have a mazada pickup with a chevy engine in it?

 

yes i do, but then again, notice i dont call it 'puer american muscle' thats why i acknowledge the fact that i have an import with an american motor in it, but i dont call it pure amercian muscle

 

my 383 would do a little better :lala:

 

Just like the F BODYs. After 1993 the 4th gens were being built in Canada. When i read threw Muscle Car mags i see that they call the Ls1 Camaro "AMERICAN MUSCLE" whichis total Bull Sh*t cuz it wasnt built on the US soil, it was built in canada which makes it a import Where a 3rd gen was built in the US and that makes it American Muscle. Now i will admit theyre some parts that are built From Mexico that is on our third gens(due to its cheap) But when i see a 4th and 3rd gen. I see the 3rd gen more American Muscle. 3rd gen has the looks and it was built in the us. Sorry bein off topic

 

holy **** your ******* back you **** where did you go

 

I'm sorry, I hate bringing back old threads, I really do, and I promise that I've got good forum ettiquite, but....this guy is a fool.

Did you ever finish high school? I seriously doubt it. If you are an American company, and you design a product, purchase all the materials, build a plant in another country, hire locals to work for your American company to build the product, then ship it back to America, how is that not an American product? Sounds like you are just jealous of the 4th gen Camaros to me. Either that or you stopped going to school after 7th grade and get all your information from your grandpa who lived his whole life on a farm or something.


Sorry everyone else, really, I am.

 

Oops, double post.

 

Absolutely. :-)

Surely any 383cid engine should completely destroy an Integra Type R. I'd have thought that it would need really serious modifications - possibly a turbo conversion to stay that close to a 383ci SBC.

 

REALLY serious just to keep up with a POS 383, nevermind a good one

 

i've been creepin' the boards here seemed to have slightly de-gayed themselves so hopefully i'll be around more

 

Last I knew Canada was in North America

 

I don't even understand what you are saying here.

 

I am in agreement. If just because its built in Canada makes it an import, I guess we should start calling Nissans American cars because they are built in Mississippi?? Ever thought of a Nissan 350Z as AMERICAN MUSCLE? hehehehehehehe

 

Oh yeah, one other thing - I guess all of you in Canada with 3rdgens can call them imports - because technically they were imported...

Such cool logic.... er..... ummm...

 

Yep, every Honda you'll ever see on the street (except for the S2000) was built in the US.
