Not you, but I have heard it over and over again, "I have a stock motor.......................................from a GSR" If it didn't come in the car, it's not stock

As far as used vs. new motors, come on Brett, you're twisting the shit out of this to try and make a point. I have a 139k mile car with a 139k mile motor from the factory. It is not fair to swap a low mileage motor into a higher mileage body that never even came came with that motor (I don't want to hear about jdm) and then try to compare the two. That's all I was trying to say.

So I'm guessing this is a full interior, radio, power stearing, fully streetable no reduction full weight daily driver? If so that's impressive. If it's a gutbox then it's not.

Stop it. 12.40's with a stock single cam motor is impressive, period. Of course it did blow up, and Andy has gone faster with less nitrous, but hey, who's keeping track?

My hatch is the one that blew up not the crx. The crx still runs very strong. The hatch is on the rebound. https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...hreadid=194151

I thought it was the CRX. Good to hear it is still going, Andy's is still faster though Your hatch looks like it's coming along nicely as well.

How am i suposed to know any of that. I don't know anything about the setup or the car or who owned it before. I couldn't point it out btwn it and another car next to it. All I want to know is if it is a real car or a gut box or not. If it's a real car it's impressive, if it's a gut box Its not, I dont care how many(or lack there of) cams it has.
