[QUOTE=M-n-Ltunuing] they think those are fast, cuz always when they see them its only out the hole that those cars jump in front of you. But many people don't know that these cars after shifting to 3 or 4 gear they loose power and then they catch speed slower than they would be in first or in second. Same like you would have to Eclipses one AWD and one front wheel drive turbo, run them out the whole the awd will take it dirty but run them on a 45mph roll on you will see the front wheel drive way ahead of the awd. [/QUOTE]
AWD has approximately a 40% drivetrain loss. Hardly anyone thinks of that....ever.....

[QUOTE=Silver4.6]well I dont know if anyone here reads at all, butt I believe it was car and driver magazine did a test....2003 sti VS 2003 cobra, as much as I hate to say it, the sti won....I forget the exact times, butt I know that the cobra lost by.01. I hate the fact that all these forign auto makers are puttin turbo's on these stupid little 4 bangers and they are outrunnin all the american muscle...it sucks...my brother has a 03 evo, he took everything out but the drivers seat, and had the boost jacked up, and ran a 12.8. screw imports [/QUOTE] Yeah screw those imports for some reason they run cicles around my wickedV6 hopefully when I get my larger non functional hoodscoop and sidevents It will give me the more HP that I need. Im sure you can relate when I point out that technology is scary. I wish we could go back to the days where horsepower could be mesured by how many of them (horses) were pulling you along. I dread the day Ford decides to update there chasis to modern day technology too I dont know what I would do without all that body roll.

Wow that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen, too bad there is no such thing as an 86 Si, let alone one in a four door.

How do I know thats not a badge with a swapped engine? IT has absolutely no specs on it anywhere. He's right on th CRX, it has an EW4, but last I checked there was no such thing as a D15a3, unless he has a D15a2 and mistyped it by one number.

[/QUOTE] Well last I checked as long as you had an Si, Si-R or a Type-R sticker thats all that matter. What motor you have in a Honda H22, ZC, D15, B16, B18 blah blah blah that BS is all secondary. How do you know my Wicked V6 actually has a 3.8 V6 and not the all mighty 70's Ford Donkey 4 banger? wickedv638005.5973611111

[QUOTE=Obsol3te] wicked is your beefy v6 a hatch or notch? if hatch you should somehow convert it so your engine is in the back! that would be SO COOL THEN YOU COULD SEE IT THRU YOUR OVERSIZED REAR FORD DECAL [/QUOTE] Thanks for another great performance mod idea! That should also help even up my 80/20weight distributions too!
