Beat a 7Gen GT..., WTF just happened??? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm on my way home... I see a blue 7th Gen Celi GT on I-75... So I'm just cruising and I notice it's a young guy and the Celi has a little body kit. So I'm thinking, "let me just see how much that car can beat me by". So I pull up even next to him. Three honks. Beep, beep, beep. GO. I had the guy the whole time, pretty much... He kept up with me for like a second. Mind you I have an automatic ST. WTF just happened??? I thought the new Celis were faster! This is a true story and apparently this guy does not know how to drive. I mean, he honked thrice so this was a race. Maybe he was messing with me? What happened? Lol.

97+ Prelude VTEC, only Hondas I know of that are faster is the RSX-S, S2000, NSX. There are other versions of these cars but that's pretty much it. Check the specs of the K20A3 Si, it's a 16 second car also (with a top speed of 118 I think), 16.0 flat based on professional driver facts so 16.5-16.8 with an amatuer. Yeah they are heavy but they aren't really that slow, faster than a Celica GT-S.

You should pay a visit to EPhatch.com. One of my local buddies ran 14.9 with his A3... and when you say K20... you should specify. If you think you know well enough to say such and such Hondas are slow, you better know well enough to specify which Honda engine is which. There's a world of difference between K20A3, K20A2 and K20A...

Also... it's pretty redundant to compare a modded car vs. a stock car. If you do happen to go check out EPhatch.com (which I high reccomend you do)... you'll see how many of those "slow" Civic SI's run 14's with bolt-ons and mild tuning.

As for the H22A ludes... they're not that fast. The H22A is a great motor, but the ludes themselves are pretty heavy (~3000 pounds). I'd say mod for mod, an Integra GSR can outrun an H22 Lude.

Oh... and I really hate people who talk trash about racing and stuff... especially when they just don't know too much, nor have too much experience with different types of cars/engines.
