      I just have a primitive old pushrod engine, but I hope I can do all right in the slow car league. 😄

        I was going to post on your cardomain thing, but decided no to, but you still have to run your mouth. I wasn't racing you guys, and my buddy kicked your ass, and you can't stand it. You also don't know anything about my car, that alpine kit has more stages, but that's not the one I am getting. I am keeping this car to to make it fast and show everyone that an auto v6 can kick some ass. As for civics and hondas, sure they are decent project cars, but so is almost anything else. These accords could be just as fast if they wanted to. I haven't seen any regular civic, non hatch, run better than like a... 14.5 or low 14's. Nor a CRX do the same. I guess, in this area, I see that a lot of people have them, but most ALL of them are not that fast. I love the S2000, that's a beautiful car, otherwise, having a civic is like having a F-150 in this area. I did race rob already, it was a good race. I don't know how many times I need to say this, I am not racing for money, cause I don't have much extra, to be putting on a race, and I bet 80% of all of that talk coming my way is ego BS anyway. Oh yeah, and my neons are off, to much work to keep it all going and together, I smashed them all, and cut cords, it was fun.

              Looking over newtiburon.com's forums it seems like 300WHP is attainable but I can't see if it's the i4 making the power or the V6. What kind of WHP does the tibby V6 ATX put out stock?

                Ya, you were racing, and who is your buddy cause that golf got beat pretty bad. I can't stand it b/c I can't remember it? I know plenty about your car it's not some top secret lotus or something. I hope your car isn't an auto, that would be really sad. Who paid for you car by the way? Mommy and Daddy help you out at all?

                I don't hate you or anything you're probibly a decent human, but it does piss people off when you yell crap at them b/c they had a bad launch. You odviously didn't have much to say the next race when both of your cars got wasted, plus you were cutting people off and thats how people get hurt.

                If you do any serious mods you'll just void your warranty. I'll admit they look ok, but they should have came with 220+ hp, and optional turbo or supercharger. Pretty funny Gateway had that red one with a body kit and rims for $30,000 list. You can buy an evo or 250z for that much.

                    Horsepower 172-hp @ 6,000 rpm

                    Stock HP out of a V6 Tiburon. According to the Tiburon's Forum, w/ Tiptronic ATX there is a HUGE loss of power... 25% drivetrain loss. That means its putting down 129whp.

                        it prolly has some form of vvt in there that he doesnt even know about...like the newer escorts they have vvt on the exhaust cam but its not named or anything

                        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                            I think that before gravedigger acts like his cock is fatter then a pop can again he should realize that little four bangers are giving a 3.0 V6 a run for its money. I think anybody that is only partially retarded can realize that honda, among others, are doing a pretty freakin good job of building ECONOMY cars that can keep up with his bad ass "SPORTS CAR!" I guess 129hp is hardly sports car territory....but I guess if you tell yourself something enough you start to believe it 😄

                                  OK Ricers it's time for a lesson on how to spell VTEC.

                                  It's....

                                  VTEC

                                  No hyphens, not VTECH (great cordless phones). Just VTEC. Get it fucking right.

                                    Wow, I don't want to do this to you jim and you all, but those numbers are way off. The auto takes a bigger loss, but my car dynos at 150whp, look around on the forums. I couple morons have a auto I4, and that would be closer to 135-140whp, but the V6, auto or manual dynos at least 150WHP, and usually just a little more, but I will cut it down to 150 just for you guys. But it only makes 129whp out of a 3.0 V6....?? It's a 2.7 Jim, maybe you were tired or confused. I am sure you math was right, but the V6 is NOT at 129. Sorry man.... I would gladly dyno myself now if it wasnt like $75, when that one is in town, but I usually don't have that kind of cash, and no my parents have nothing to do with my car, unlike some people, I pay for fuking everything, that's why I am usually broke. I bet your parents helped with yours though....

                                      So now your mad that your parents didn't pay for your POS car?! Nobody ever said that running a 14.5 in the 1/4 was "fast" did they? But it's definitely a lot faster than what you can run. My Civic does run a 14.5 and it has a huge 140HP at the crank, by the way. Bring it on, I'll put down some cash. Oh and this is the slow car, if the fast car was up and running I wouldn't even bother wasting my time/breath/typing, etc.

                                      I think we're still beating a dead horse here...... maybe a lock on this one finally?

                                        No fast cars? Hyundai's only then? ::rimshot:: Anyways, let's talk numbers. Going to beat an S2000? An '01 S2000 runs 0-60 in 5.5 and the quarter in 14.1 @ 99.6mph. Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 (stock of course) will pull a 0-60 of 7.94 seconds and the quater in 16.42 @ 88.6mph. Not doubting that given enough money the Tiburon could be a real fireball, but smoking a stock S2000 (keep in mind that the new cars are a 2.2liter with more torqure as opposed to the 2001's 2.0liter) may be setting your sights a bit high. When can we expect to see the forced induction tiburon running around?
