And when I do I get people like you rolling your eyes and making assinine comments...only to remove then after the fact. And it has everything to do with a BIKE...your topic line said an 11 second HONDA for 5 grand...I came up with something else that satisfied your topic thread..stop getting pissed when youre wrong.

Diesel? I dont think I would like to drive a car/truck that even when it IS running good it sounds like it is barely running. And that diesel exhaust smell WTF is up with that shiznit?

Care to explain what you mean by barely running????? And Ill take rish diesel fumes over rich gasoline fumes ANY day...diesel does not make you cry because it is hardly toxic..just a bunch of particulate matter..no biggie. Go sit in a shop with a big displacement gasoline engine that is not running correctly...it will be like 15 minutes before you can friggin breathe again.

Isnt that the biggest plus of a turbo? That.. and not having to refill the bottle?
beat me to it

nuff said
Maybe on an import but Im not gonna spend that kind of $$$ to put one on my car (it costs a little more ) Ill save turbo for the clipse. But Frank--I thought U said your car was mid 14s?? Id definitely need a turbo that would get me further than that. If Im taking my car to the track I dont need people saying all show no go. Thats how it stands now but then again its never been to the track. Give me some time...Ive got somethin in the works

Damn...this one got wayyyy of course. $5000 for 11s is pretty darn good especially using a turbo setup. Could you do it cheaper using lots of Nos...probably. But for a total cost of $5000...hell..go with the turbo setup. Everyone knows I like my Nitrous..but if money where no object you better believe I would have built my motor to handle boost for a turbo. But in this case the price is right. I like it!

11s fast.
Honda cars good.
Honda bikes good.
Trucks good.
Beaters good.
Turbos good.

I mean that a diesel even if it is running perfectly still sounds like it is running like crap. At least all the ones that come into my shop do. That to me is just to damn annoying.
