OynxSTS Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Congrates, I guess. But honestly, beating a civic is not something to brag about... I could beat every civic in my neck of the woods that challenged me in my '01 3.5L (Shortstar) 215Hp Olds Intrigue... That’s with a full tank of gas and two full sets of golf clubs in the trunk... It seems that the more crud that they apply to these cars the easier they are to dust. Carbon fiber hoods, monster wings, coffee can exhuast tips, etc etc etc. Not to mention that most of the Honda drivers can't shift either. I love that moment when they run out of first gear... From where I'm sitting, its like they suddenly put their car in reverse. Any Northstar equipped vehicle will eat cars like this alive.

navion Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Next we will be hearing of a modified Yugo with a Maytag washing machine engine and a Spam can (or maybe ALPO) for the exhaust! (A Maytag engine will probably double the performance of a Yugo.) Britt Britt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67coupedeville Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Like we say at hockey, a "W" is a "W", chalk that one up. I like people that try and race me in my 92 Chevy 4x4, 5500 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal but it sure isn't a rocket. Even if I am beat, I know the next time, I'll have an Eldorado that is much faster than that Civic/Cavalier/Sunfire/What have you...Muhahahaha .

jonny Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well the only way i think you could push 600 horses it to do a complete overhaul and everything so unless you want to do that i dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 My dad was telling me that some of these "sleeper" imports can push 600 horses (with heavy drivetrain modification)....any truth to that? That "drivetrain modification" would likely include a small block Chevy with twin blowers. :D Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.

WarrenJ Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Small block Chevy and Ford engines were once popular transplants for Jag-U-Wars and other vehicles. I once stuffed a Chevy 283ci thing under the hood of an MGB. They were also popularly found under the hood of "Z" cars.
