sounds like someone got his ass handed to him by a rice burnin 4 banger.

domestic= gas guzzling, overweight, low hp per liter, piece of redneck backyard wrench bending, and too blind to learn how things should be done from imports.

Import= economical, less weight to lug around, makes the most with as little as possible, expertly engineered, and been showing the domestic guys how to run a 10 sec 1/4 on half the cylinders for years.


argue domestics have bigger engines and more torque.....thats great since you need it to get you 3000lbs plus pile to move.

2004 mustang gt 3379lbs 260hp and 17/25 mpg ( city/hwy )
15.1 1/4

go back to 1988 and travel to japan to see the 88 crx si approx 2000 lbs 160hp 30/37 ( approx )
14.1 1/4

I have an 88 crx si with jdm swap, a few bolt ons and I run petal to the floor, still get 28 mpg in city.

turbo a honda...... still get more mpg than any domestic.... and make a corvette cry for his mommy



domestics

 

hahaha nice one kender. i dont hate domestics i just like imports better. ive seen some crazy ass import cars, then also, i have seen some crazier domestics, but i still like imports better.

 

I don't hate domestics either, in fact I am trying to get my dad to put money into an 80 el camino and swap the stock v-6 to a 350 v8 from a camaro. I have yet to see a substitute for being able to ride a wheelie for the first 1/4 of the 1320 ( an rare thing in an import ) and the rumble of a gas guzzling 3 gallons per mile engine is awsome..... but when you can pass everything but the corner gas station it becomes a trailer queen.

but the domestic market has yet to show a car that will drive from home to the track, run 10's all day, drive home, go to work the next couple of days and then finally hit the gas station.

why do racers take all the shit out of their cars and try for gobs of hp..... because the more horses and less weight means the fastest times, well the hp/weight ratio on imports is already good and when you add a turbo and build the engine you can keep all you creature comforts like a/c and a slammin system ( including the ps2 ). and the best is when you have all of that for less $$$ than the fool in his mustang cobra.

oh and when the dude in the porche looks over at you and can't seem to leave you and your 95 hatch in the dust, be sure he sees that your in a HONDA

 

ive always found it funny that kids in little hondas that cost maybe 20k at the MOST fully upgraded can beat 100grand cars like nothing. i have a video of a civic hybrid turbo racing a lamborghini and KEEPING UP with it. now thats pretty crazy if u ask me..

 

Lamborghinis..vipers...ferraris have all seen Hondas ass atleast twice in there lifetimes...Srt-4 badges will be added soon

 

get a different car - one that was meant to be turboed such as a dsm - forget turboing hondas it's not worth it+2

Kender sounds like u dont know what a dsm is?Btw u can turbo a na car but it will have its limits.I have done all three,turboed a na car,had a oem turboed car,and a pretty decent na domestic car.And please dont say ls1's and certain domestics arent fast cuz almost all the domestics on here are not to play with.

 

close-minded ricers.

you MUST respect domestic. No if's, and's or but's. Forget about economical advantages, we're talking power. I love my imports, but I can guarantee that you'll change your mind on how "horrible" domestics are when you drive a real one.

I'd like to thank that special little 500hp 68 Camaro SS. Without you, I'd be just as naive as this guy.

Pretty much if you want power, torque, and love to brag about it, get a domestic. If you hate the people who brag about the power and torque of a domestic, get an import and build the fuck out of it to shut him up. Either way, you choose.

 

I'd agree with the get a DSM or something turbo stock comment. If you don't have money AND a 2nd car, FI hondas aren't exactly ideal. I'd say you need at least a 2nd car though for any car that you are going to push.


You could get a 1g for around $2000 and have it in the 12s for pretty damn cheap if thats all you want.

 

its going to be my daily driver. so i should keep it stock then? or at least a couple bolt ons...

 

it's all about how much $$$ you have really. Figure out how much you are willing to spend and talk with some shops like secret services on what to expect RELIABLY with that much dough. If you are unimpressed than use your $$$ elsewhere. It's when people don't spend the money to do shit right the first time, that you start having problems and wish you had a second ride.
