honda's keeping up with fast cars?
why do i always see honda's keeping up with fast cars. are these drop engines or just really suped up? honda's pushing 400hp and more?
|
they do engine swaps into cars that weigh about as much as a soda can. add turbo kits, bored out heads, ITB's, etc. alot of HP but not alot of TQ
|
reason being is the power to weight ratio is crazy in those honda's
|
It's all about power to weight ratio. The new Ariel Atom can run 0-60 in under 3 seconds and only has 300 hp.
|
a stock honda has like 127 hp right (minus the Si), that's only seven more hp than a lancer. Ur saying the 400+ hp honda's are those that have engine drops?
|
You mean this, right:

Oh man...you gotta watch Top Gear. Ariel Atom = A Rocketship. Don't be fooled into thinking it's a car.
|
haha.. damn.. learn something new everyday

yea, one of my closest friends has a 96 civic with a b18c swap. hasnt been tuned yet. ive done a 3rd gear pull and he gets out about 5-6 lengths on me. im guessing its running a mid-high 11 NA. the motor is built for a turbo wich is going on in a few weeks. should be running a mid 10. this car is also fully built with about $35,000.00 into it just in performance work alone.
im not one of those people that hates on something just because of the make/model of the car. i treat them all with the same respect wether its a honda civic or a ferrari. |
their is a shop in the chicagoland area working on a 4g63 AWD civic hatchback...i saw it with my own eyes. that will be the stupidest fastest thing on the road
|
I thought the 4G63 Civic trend was over. That's so '96.
|
|
omfg that thing has to be a monster
|
Is that that Dominican one? If so, I've heard they still don't have 1/4 mile times because it breaks something every run.
