Z28 and New Si
I don't normally street race, but...
Tonight on my way to work I had a Z28 roll up on me with his girl in a Z28 and revved on me. My usual take on street racing is "Whatever, why not?" because for me it's just for fun, anyways. Took off from the light and he was ahead, the tip of my front bumper even with his rear wheels. By 80, I had put two car lengths in bewtween us. Then the CAMARO actually did the ricer fly-by when I turned off to go work. That made my night. On my way home from work, I casually passed a 2003 Civic Si. Now this thing I wanted to race just to see what kinda balls the K20 has. We went at it at the light. I got an awful launch and he put about a car and a half between us just on the launch (he also jumped the light a little). By the end of second it was down to a half and I was pulling on him hard. That's when the pussy decided to bail, which really pissed me off. It's too bad because it would have been interesting. His gears are pretty short, whereas only my first and second are short, but get long at third. It would have been a good race if we had gone for longer or if I had gotten a better launch. It's alright- I'm sure I'll see him again. |

It looked like this:
Anybody else raced a 2003 Si yet? And to the V8s: You're on ignore. I don't need to be called a liar or justify myself to you. Expect no response from me. |

I can't tell if it's a 3.4l V6 or a LT1 V8. If it's a 3.4l, then the badge on the front fender should say "camaro", if it's an LT1, then it'll say "Z28". I have no problem believing that he could beat a 3.4l, but he shouldn't be able to beat the LT1, but anything can happen on the street.
As for mr. 2ndGenTeg, I'm sure you can understand where some people have a problem with this thread, based on the little detail in it. Max |

V8kill, I think he just generalized a bit by mistake!
SVT was being a jerk though! Josh did say that he had a really bad launch with the civic! |

BTW let me put out a little formula for everyone. A STOCK Z28 will do 14.0 in the quarter. A 2003 Civic Si does 16.1 in the quarter (yes it does). Why everyone is horny over the new civic.. I dunno.. it's slower than previous civics.. so here goes.
X does 14.0 Y does 16.1 Z beats X Y beats Z I don't think so. You say bad launch... well you must have had a horrible 2-3 second delay before launching to lose to a new civic Si... |

*edit* By the way you V8 people don't need to question everybodys post on what they beat because you think that they couldn't, it makes you guys out to be an ass and makes the orginal thread starter feel like a liar. Last edited by drdingo21 : 10-04-2002 at 07:46 PM. |

I was simply generalizing on the body style. I'll freely admit I can't pick out a trim level by looking at it- I simply don't really care. I just saw the Z28 badge on the tail. How many domestics in here can tell the diffrence between an Integra LS/GS/RS/SE and GSR by just looking?
And I'm not being childish, you're simply not worth my time. |

Sorry you musta misread it.. SVT is right.. an LT1 or LS1 would have beaten u in reverse..
Maybe this was one of those "Hey look over there i think that integras racing me" incidents.. ? (I've had plenty of those ) I'd beive a V6 or 3rd gen, but sorry if your claiming its a Z28... He either wasn't racing or was running off 6 cylinders or maybe his first time ever in a stick car.. *Raises the BS flag* Sorry just using logic here.. Quote:

i get your point but either way you guys are in a honda forum. there is no reason to come in here and just try to start shit. I own both a honda and a V8 well two v8s. I love both the cars for differnt reasons. My truck well murder a z28 but still i don't go over to a camaros forum and tell them shit like that. YOu also have to remeber that the integras and hondas only have 4 cyclinders

Dont give that "we only have 4 cylinders" BS... please dont do that... that is the worst excuse ever... thats like going to an olympic track race and having your excuse be "well my legs arent as strong as his"... anyways yeah z28 would tear you apart... LT1 or LS1... LT1s beat me most of the time, and I beat Integras like a dirty rug... im not trying to start shit, just want to get the facts straight... no need people believing something that is false... also... your sig says ur car is for sale and it is "babied"... if you race it all the time, its not "babied"... just thought Id clear that up for you...

Stating a point based on facts is not starting shit. Raising a BS Flag because something doesnt make sense isnt starting shit. For any newer viewers on here it helps them see that something isn't right in a post, I'm sure they would appreciate it rather than beliving some false fuzzy logic. For the rest of the board, it helps build the quality of the posts if people know they just cant post any o'l make believe story on here.
Why don't people after maybe realising they make an "obvious" mistake start asking some smart questions like "how much faster would a Z28 have gone over the V6?" "What would i have to do to really hang with a Stock STang". But why this doesnt happen more, I dont know, but if us "V8 guys" keep flagging down (or at least questioning) the posts that dont seem to make much sense, then maybe one day some pple will get it in their heads that, "hey maybe there is more to learn out there from these guys", just like we browse your forums trying to learn of you guys (well me at least). Take it for what its worth, if the post is looked at objectivly from a different angle, dont be offended and talk it out. Its not starting "shit" :o Last edited by guest : 10-05-2002 at 01:19 AM. |

That's exactly it.. I read the import magazines as well as my own. I come here to learn about these cars. But that post made no sense at all. He beat a Z28 but then got beat by a 2003 Si? Even if he had a bad start, like I said he had to have fallen asleep. Anyways, I asked simple questions such as mods, 1/4 mile times, and he got defensive. That's how we learned it was BS. Also, many V6 guys love to make their car look slike a SS or Z28 with badges. Same as guys with civics will put on Si badges, and even SiR badges..lol.. Anyways he either is lying about beating it, the guy didn't know he was racing, or he beat a V6. You guys pick.

ever think the z28 got a bad start? could have been a kid in a auto not knowing how to drive for hell, then he lines up on the SI with a REALLY good driver who pulls .5 reactions and awsome 60 fts. remeber, this can also be traced to the z28 also. i dont raise the BS flag becuase on the streets, you are racing ANYONE, not pro C&D drivers. dont magazine race

thank you 4thGenlude, Cominh in here and pointing out facts is one thing, but coming in here like SVTcobra does and the v8importkiller did when he first joined is something competley differnt. Stating the fact and not being an asshole aout can be done don't come in here saying what happened try saying what you think happended 4thGenlude could be right, or he could have raced a v6 he never said he didn't.
highlander i hate to break it to you but there is no way in gods green earth your highlander will beat my z28 so i dunno where you get that most of time. There see what i mean he may have beat an old man driving a z28 that didn't know what he was doing but there is no way he could touch my z with me driving but i do know what im doing. I guess im just re stating 4thGenlude's point. BTW highlander you don't think it pretty remarkable how a 4 cyclinder is keeping up and beating some engines that twice the engine?? i do. Anybody can buy a sports car and drive it fast, but it takes alot to build your own car and make it go fast. Like my s-10 with a 383 stroker in it. It wasn't stoke like that but its well worth the looks i get when i kill a stang or a camaro....... Also when i said you V8 guys i didn't mean that as an insult, hell i use to be a V8 guy and hate hondas until i got my civic as a winterbeater and now i love that car. Either way im not trying to start something im tired of always aruging over stuipid shit on this forum.. JJ |

If it was stick fine .. hed have to be VERY bad at it... I drive an Auto, they're incredible off the line... they chirp 1-2 every time on WOT from a stock config. This isn't magazine racing, integras off the line vs a Z28 (I own a 95) are simply eaten up by one.. not just "bad" but "really bad". You just can't beat one unless his tires are spinning for a good 3 seconds at launch.. INtegra GS- (off some webpage-sure call it magazine racing) 0-30mph: 3.0 seconds 0-40: 4.7 0-50: 6.6 0-60: 9.4 0-70: 12.1 0-80: 16.5 0-90: 21.0 1/4 mile: 16.6 @ 83.5 mph Top Speed: 130 mph I'm sorry but thats not even CLOSE to 4th gen, even if he traps 15 in the quarter and goes 0-60 in a MODEST 7 seconds, at the end of a quarter mile, even if you ****ed up the start royally, at the end of a quarter mile a "stock" Z will be going almost 100mph at the trap. Thats 15mph+ difference! I don't know how you can fend a post out of wack as this one is ... at least help the guy out and realise that its FAR more likely that it was a fake Z28 badge, not even a race, or some messed up Z, rather than a REALLY REALLY bad driver.

Sorry, I couldn't be a bystander any longer.
Fake badging had occured to me. I can't tell you how many 2nd gen Type R Integras I see (even seen a Cavalier Type R on occasion). Having freely admitted that I know nothing about domestics and hearing what you have to say, it seems like a likely scenario. I have no doubt you know what you're talking about, and if you say it's not possible, so be it. If someone revs on you, it's a race. If it was that messed up, I doubt he would have been driving it. Driver skill? I guess we'll never know. Perhaps I should rephrase for everyone: I beat a Camaro with a Z28 badge similar to the one pictured above. Fair enough? You come here to learn, eh? Then why do you have nothing constructive to say, ever? I did a thorough search of everyone's post history, and if you were truly here to learn, you might at least attempt to post something resembling an inquiry or an attempt to better yourself rather than constantly posting demeaning and critical material. I find two things funny: 1. Domestic owners have no lives to the extent that they have nothing better to do than come to import boards are bash cars with half the displacement. If it's no race to you and it presents no challenge, why do you get such juvenile pleasure out of bashing them over the internet? Sooner or later you'll all realize you're only making asses of yourselves and confirming the reputations of the dometic owners as cocky, arrogant schmucks. 2. Most of these little four bangers could have easily had your car, had they chosen to do so. Personally, with the $20,000 I've invested into my car in the purchase price, system, and mods, I could have had an incredibly fast domestic, had I chosen to do so. Imports cost twice what domestics do (there's a reason for that), and they're twice as expensive to mod. So next time you roll up on a modded import, just know that had owning you been their priority, they could have. Your silly little life is simply just not that important. And with that, I leave the kill stories forum. Thank you, gentlemen. It's been, ah, educational, at least on the nature of human nature. |

Where do you people get your information?Imports cost twice what domestics do? What the hell are you talking about? All I hear about it how import guys buy imports cause they are cheap.. but lets put your little moronic theory to test.. Hmm.. Z28 costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $28,000 correct? For we multiply that by 2 = $56,000. Wow.. I had no idea integras cost that much. I guess you are twice the moron for buying a $56,000 integra. Anyways, you don't read the above posts. Please read all the posts in a thread before you comment. I explained why I was here... I have a right to be here JUST AS MUCH as you do. So keep crying about it, and your "have the dicplacemet" shit again and again as you do.. and see how far it gets you in life... |

Why do you only post in the kill stories section? That's not educational. I think your just a bunch of little keyboard racers that have too much time on your hands....sorry had to be said.

see thats the kinda of shit im talking about. you ****ing pice of shit don't you get tired of being gay all the time? and if your gonna insult me at least come up with something creative rather than just rattleing names off you stupid ****. This thread was actaully a nive converstaion until you came in and ****ed it up. Don't you think its odd that almost every thread you post in gets closed? You would think a **** like you would take the hint and shut the **** up. But no your stupid and keep posting stupid shit left and right, ever wonder why your were a moderated user? And then ontop of that you make a new thread complaing about how you can't reply even though your stupid ass was told 4 times that you can't reply because you were a moderated user. And whats sad is i honestly belive you are that ****ing stupid, at first i though you were just kidding around and being an asshole but no. You really are a moron. Why don't you just go ****ing die
and another thing how come every ****ing time i insult that worthless shit my post get edited and i get pm'ed about be civil, and yet the mods let this dochbag SVT post and ruin threads left and right and keep his post and the new threads the ****ing moron started stay. Thats bull shit. |
