97 integra ls with intake/headers, a v6 97 mustang auto with light mods, 2001 eclipse GT auto, 96 civic ex with intake and exhaust ? anyone raced these cars before with a 2.3? this will be my second time to the track (in alabama). i raced my car 3 times the last time i was there, best time was 16.3 i'm gonna try to get into the 15s tonight. we'll see...

blo2ck

you'll smoke the civic
should beat the integ but kinda close
you'll lose to the mustang, in 1/8th you'd win
the eclipse i'm not sure, aren't they a v6 with 200 hp, if so you'll probably lose that one too.

jamolie

actually, the last time i raced the civic, he ran low 16s too... i was pretty surprised. you're probably right about the mustang and eclipse though... i beat my friend's gt eclipse before off the line, but it catches up in 3rd. hope i won't be the slowest tonight.

blo2ck

yeah our cars jump pretty good of the line. I can beat a lot of cars to 50 or 60 but after that our 2.3's are slow as fuck!

dennis

I think CL's suck off the line. They're ssssslllllooooowwww!!!

blo2ck

maybe with you drivin dennis!
just playin, probably those 18" chromies slowin you down!

dennis

That was before the 18's. And I do know how to drive. I bet I can drive circles around you. J/K. But from a dead stop they are slow. No low end torque of HP's.

Kick out the floorboard and use the "Fred Flinstone" turbocharger - start running really fast!!! v It'll help your 1/4 mile times by .5 seconds!!

LCARUCA 97

HA thats hilarious!!! yabba dabba doooo!!

blo2ck

did you race yet? Curious to see how you did.

jamolie

i just got back this morning at 4 am from the track in alabama. i was rather dissapointed. i ran consistent 16.3 times, but my best run was a 16.2 all i have is intake. i left my subs and tire in the trunk and the rest of my stuff in the car. surprisingly, the ls with shortram and wires ran mid 15s.

the thing is that i never lost off the line. out of the 7-8 runs i had, i was first off the line until 3rd gear. after that, it's over. wish i had more high end power. it's very discouraging to be winning then get beat in 3rd gear. oh well... the eclipse and 300gt both did 15.7s-15.8s. my friend in his gsr with intake (stripped all the seats and everything from the car) ran a 14.6 that was amazing. oh well...

dennis

At least you tried.

blo2ck

What did the civic run?
16.2 isn't bad for intake with subs n spare.
I told you are cars die in 3rd.

jamolie

the civic ran an average of 16.4 he had intake and exhaust. yea, i was hoping to get into the 15s though... oh well... my theory is that it's not worth modding the car much more in terms of speed. it's not worth spending more money on a slow car. i'd rather just go show. it's much more feasible in my opinion. but that's just me.

blo2ck

yeah thats true, no matter how much money we spend on our cars there is always ugly stock american cars that'll smoke us. At least our cars look nice and will last over 100k miles.

jamolie, Is your car a auto? Also was that civic a hatchback and was it stripped? Last one was the integra Ls a stick?

jamolie

No, i have a 5 speed. The civic was an ex coupe... maybe a 94-95. and yes, the ls was a stick. i didn't know that the ls could run so fast considering it doesn't have vtec and its horsepower.

Dreamdtt2000

Did they show you what they had under the hood or you just think that is what they got? I am pretty curious now that the civic and integra LS are running those times with only intake, exhaust and headers.

jamolie

No, i'm sure. Those are all my friends. About 10 of us drove to the track together.

blo2ck

Did you actually race against any of them, or at seperate times and exchanged timeslips after?
If so please tell me you beat the civic. Even if it was only by a tenth or so.

jamolie

yea, i raced all of my friends at different times. but like i said berfore, i beat all of the off the line until about 3rd gear. it was sad. i raced and beat the civic 3 times. no, it was not stripped. i beat him by about .2-.3 of a second.

blo2ck

hey wining is wining

blo2ck

Wait just one minute here. Last question. So are you saying that by third gear the civic was pulling on you???? I sure hope not.

Chinisimo

reading is fundamental

j/k bro

NOMAD

1.8L LS has 142 hp 120Tq, and is lighter than the CL.
No win there.

Remember guys that in the current line-up of new cars, we have the same HP as the new Chevy Cavalier (2.2L).


Oh, well. I still like the CL though.

ib_jimmy

ok i've raced again all of those before. My opinton the 97 Integra LS will be your only challege. 2000 v6 rustang 5-speed was smoke by a i/e LS tegra...saw it with my own eyes (lost $20 cuz i thought the mustang was a GT cuz of the flowmaster)

Eclipse auto.... go easy on him.

If the civic was a hatchback then i'll put up a fight else i'll take him. (race 95 ex with i/h/e and nos with my 92 Civic Si i(cai)/h/e) the guy was spraying to catch up )

Tip: dont wait till red line then shift, it just stressing it out. right when you notice the engine stressing.

Dreamdtt2000

damn. I miss my integra. Before I got my CL 2.2 I had a 4dr integra 98 and I had a intake and apexi exhaust. It was a automatic. Then I recked it. I went to the body shop and the insurance people file the car was a total loss. I cried my ass off.:'( They give me 13,000 to buy another car, So I bought a CL 2.2. I miss that car.


Anyways if I had a intake and exhaust in my CL 2.2 against my 98 integra LS (RIP) with intake and exhaust which car will win??? BOTH IS A AUTOMATIC. I am very curious now.

Dreamdtt2000

anyone?

jamolie

ls would win
