If he did he wouldnt be saying these things. he has no clue about power to weight, no clue about driver mod, no clue about tires, and no clue about different car's capabilities. he needs to spend alot of time and track and on the street before he continues to make himself look stupid.
Glad it was comical to you.. Apparently you hadn't read the conversation..
I was not the one who brought up the "power to weight ratio" arguement.. I was giving them the ricer math. Maybe you should have read the rest of the posts before me. I'm done arguing with random ricers on this site, it gets nothing done, so I'm not going to argue with you either.
1. Power to weight? My car weighs ~3400 with me in it, A hatch weighs about 2300 with the driver, it's not a HUGE deal. If the car weighed 1500-1800, I would agree it would make a difference.. The only argument I get about why you guys' cars would win, is the weight difference... It's not that huge.
2. Driver mod? A driver can only be as good as his car.. No matter how good the driver is, you put him in a 180 HP hatch, he's still slow.
3. Tires? Tires is not a cure-all for traction problems. Regardless of putting drag radials on a FWD car, the weight will still transfer to the rear of the car, it's common sense. So saying drag radials will make the car launch with no traction problems, RWD or FWD is ignorant.
4. Capabilities? A 180 HP civic won't have any torque. It's just not gonna happen. So therefore, it is not capable of anything.
But what is funny, is that you're driving an accord and telling me about capabilities. You're the one making yourself looking stupid, nice car.
