You weigh a sh*tLOAD more than him.



I weigh barely over 1 ton and put as much poop to the tarmack in my Saturn as a V6 should. Think about that.

I have to agree with stanqlover, I destroy those things on a daily basis, and that is with my son, daughter,and wife in the car!!! But not to worry there are plenty of speed parts for the sixers, I seen one in MM&FF in the low 13's high 12's.

i suggest different gears they help alot when you got a smaller engine it has a problem pushing 2.73s so go with at least 3.73 with a sixer

I would suggest nitrous and weight loss (for the car and driver. Let's face it, no point in taking out 150 pounds of crap if you weigh in at 300)

OK, b-ing an import fan as well, I know a thing or 2 'bout 'em. What the bonus is is that they have the power to weight ratio down for them. If you have 200hp in a Civic (my friends) and you only weigh 2000 some pounds, you'll pull. Now, owning an 02 V6 I know they're heavy as sh*t. If you have 200 hp in a 2000 pound car verses the same hp in a 3000 some pound car, he has you beat, I don't care how bad you wanna fight it, the Civic will pull (Civic and Integra is the same car, only Acura). Also, those things have real good hole shot speed I've noticed. Lighten up the car, drop some money on speed parts, you'll show 'em who's boss. Hope that helps.

If it was an LS or a GS you would own it in your V6. If it was a GS-R then it has 200 ponies and is pretty darn quick for a 1.8L engine. Evenly matched I'd say. The V6 Mustang isn't slow but it could be geared better I think. The type-R (also (1.8L) is DAMN quick because it is so light. and it comes with factory mods) They usually have funky spoilers (assuming it was rolling and you can't see the rims) and they are a dumb color like Yellow. They screw. A GT will take them but it would be a good race. Off the line, the GT has it, on the highway the type R will play. Never saw "that" race so can't say who would win.



Good luck with your car.

I'd say...if you wanna put the top-of-the-line motor, put it up against another top of the line, like a 5.0 or 4.6....or 427 SC, 428.......






?!?!?!



I was just trying to answer the question about the Integra pulling on the V6 stang.

Black Magic, ur wrong, the Type-R has 195 or 197 (JDM). The GSR has about 175 or so. Also, the LG, GS, RS Integras may take the V6 Mustang, POWER TO WEIGHT bud.

the horsepower to weight ratio is a factor. integra will have the advantage early on because it is lighter. in the end the stang should prevail because,despite its weight, it has more bottom end hp, and torque (not to say as i know alot of specs for imports, but generally they have high hp/low tq ratio). in my personal opinion, V6 is a nice car for looks, it is cheaper.. perhaps a nice lady car but if you want racing, you cant deny the V8

You know the sad thing about the GSR motor? It makes 125 ft lbs (Edumds I think...).



And an astonishing 8000 RPM





Funny sh*t!

well you can always look up published 1/4 mile times for your car/ cars you have raced. a GS-R has 170 hp. it runs a factory claimed 15.2 in the 1/4 mile. a type R, 14.8. i used to have a 99 2.2 cavalier, with a couple bolt ons, and with a good launch i could stay half a car length ahead of a stock GS/LS integra. i also raced a late model V6 stang. from 60 mph, side by side, it took him till i hit my governer at 106 to pull a car length in front of me. he had a 5spd, and was trying really hard. this was one of the problems with the old 94-98 mustangs. hondas made in the same year were outrunning them right out of the factory. GT's pulling claimed low 15's, preludes and type R's running high 14's. Sad, but true. go surf the net for 1/4 times for various cars. results can be interesting.

Hmmm. When are these import guys gonna get the big picture? I mean, unless you are the Tampa Devil Rays you aren't going to spend $1,000,000 on an old washed up has been when you can spend $1,500,000 on a future all star!


ITS ALL ABOUT POTENTIAL!!!!

A 4cyl will hit its realistic potential much sooner than an 8cyl will!!!

And the balance a v-8 engine has doesn't hurt it either. converted37769.7184027778

But, the 99-00 Civic Si and 98-01 Integra Type-R both produce 100hp per liter...that's pretty pimp in my book.
