LOL @ some of the comments on the youtube page... esp. 4doorcivic or what ever his name is "my car can handle 60 psi", "psi doesnt affect HP" etc. typical ricer boy. and my favorite "your car isnt fast unless it runs 12's stock" cause his car is obviously stock if it runs 12's.... and mild bolt ons would take care of that in a hurry. please turn on the NAWS and kick his ricer *** next time (be sure to get a vid, and do a vid response on Youtube so all his fanboys can watch)



just for clarification, i know there are fast hondas, and i'll respect them (not that id ever waste my money on one), but some of the 15 year old wannabe's REALLY get on my nerves.

I hope you weren't losing against stock/near stock LS1s with that Integra... you're talking about damn near 400hp at the wheels if you had any sort of decent setup. And the LSD actually makes it semi-unuseless from a dig/slow roll

Nice race.

It's cool that you don't mind posting a loss to a honda.

Didn't you guys run from around 45 mph? If you have an a4 with 323 gears then that would be a dead spot for you. Try him from a 25 to 30 roll

If that doesn't work just flip on the spray till you put a car on him and then turn her off.

"I went to the drag race this weekend, and ran 8's in a quarter...it's stock BUT with turbo & other bolt-ons, just as it says in the title & description. And yes, the camero was spraying, he is one of my buddies & wanted to race me. Maybe I should get him to come on YouTube & clarify that. He will admitt I spanked his ***! lol " HE RAN EIGHTS! HA HA

I commented on the video and stated that I didn't think that the camaro (you) was using the spray. I also asked him what he was running in the quarter and he said 8s I'm sure he meant 1/8 mile. I told him that a stockish ls1 with a 100 shot should run low 12s and maybe high 11s. You need to run him again and spray the 100 shot. Make sure you are rolling fast enough to get traction and get someone to video it. The reply to the previous video with a followup video

LOL, thats the way to react. It hurts to be beat by a civic, but some are very fast and are not the typical ricer( still a ricer because he said you were on N2O).
