Well today on the way from work, Im cruising in my 92 RS. It loooks bone stock, completely stock suspension wheels and everything. But I have this under the hood.

Im still breaking in the clutch so I wanted too be easy on it. But on the way home this pretty clean lowered red SI with an exhuast was infront of me. He was driving a little too confidently, shifting hard and stayin on the gas pretty good. So I decided to give him a taste of American Muscle.

Im running an open Y-pipe right now so its pretty loud, I got right behind him and revved the LT1 up a bit. He decided to switch lanes letting me get right next too him. We were cruising around 40, and I was in second gear. No race was intitiated yet but I decided to snap the throttle just give him a little taste. A little more power then I expected! The whole rear end began too slip out, I quickly let off the gas and countersteered pulling it back in. I looked back over at him too see if he still wanted to go. He immediatly looked away and started slowing down driving like an old lady. At the next stop light he decided to turn instead of take up the race.

I must say, My stock "looking" RS is quite a sleeper.

lol very nice story i was thinking dam then those SI's must be doing somethin right if it can outrun a lt1 thirdgen! when you shot out the rear i wonder what he was thinking in his mind "o my god that guys fu*kin crazy and so is his car!" lol anyhow i still liked the story!

carkook

Yeah he looked confused, like "I didnt think those rally sports were THAT fast" I saw he was wearing a Honda dealership technician shirt, hes prabably going to warn all the other honda guys in my town =[. I wonder how much power its pushing, all it has is headers, light weight crank pulley and a custom chip. (its from a 93 formula, still had the removable EPROM)

thats awesome! my dads LT1 does the same and its like when he stomps on the gas the tires spin so hard the world turns lmao.

nice but knowing them the other honda boys will probaly want to race you more since they think it'll make them the BIG MAN. who knows what there all talking about if there smart enough to know its not stock i can hear them saying, honda boy 1 ya man i bet it was probaly a built ls1 or the new ls3 honda boy 2. ya i could swear i heard an s/c though

hahahaha funny stuff. Well Ill hopefully be gettin an exhuast on it this week so it will sound a little less intimadationg. This open Y-pipe is crazy. When I romped on it as soon as the tires broke loose all you here is the LT1 SCREAMING up too around 5k rpms in a split second.

At least that was a respectable honda too look at, fairly stock looking just lowered. The ones I want are the ones slammed with fart cans and GIANT VTEC decals.

got an vid of her? does it sound like an muscle car or just a pickup? i have no muffler on my IROC-Z and its not really loud or anything but its just sounds likes a old pickup and dear god though when we pull it into the garage (small storage style duplex garage) you get smoked out and the drone is HORRIBLE! its echo's extremely loud and sounds like a semi. are you going with a custom exhuast? any power numbers on the lt1? honestly i think some of the hondas/imports with rims and sometimes a tiny drop dont look to shabby. example i think the preludes with rims something similar to bbs look pretty nice i also like the celicas, and i LOVE the 05 and previous jetta gli's in grey with bbs wheels god those look nice. there is also some others i think look pretty good to just they ruin it when they put huge wings and crap on them.

No video, but it sounds great at idle and under no load, but in gear its just extremely loud. I wouldnt say a good loud either haha, just really loud.

what mods, or is that lt1 stock? cause damn i dont think my ls1 will go sideways at 40

carkook

Its pretty much stock other then the bolt-ons and chip. Im sure it can, I mean I break loose in 2nd all the time if I snap the throttle at 3500-4000 rpms.

Sounds like its time for a good exhaust, gears, and a cam

I raced one with just an intake and fart can, and it didnt even seem like a race, but this was with a modded 350.

Stock without mods, they usually seem to run high 14's or so. With mods and tuning, they can easily run 13's or better, which would be a match for an LS1 camaro.

Well I have an exhuast thats really restrictive from the cat-back. So Ill be running a cut-out when I put my 100 shot in. Should be pretty quick?

iroc stangs

Hey gotta ask, do you like that lt1? I MIGHT soon be getting my hands on a early lt1 and just curious if you like it and whatnot.

carkook

I like it, It was a BIG step up from the LO3. But I mean if I were going to do it again I would of gone LS. But even with the LT1 Im having trouble keeping traction even from a roll in 2nd.
