You can tell that to my friends with an R35 GTR, a 997 turbo, and boosted Viper and bunch of RS4's or M3/M5 or AMG daily drivers. They think the complete opposite, that anything under 130mph is pointless and shows nothing about true performance. Think about it, I am sure the new Corvette has moved far away from being a 1/4mile car only. It was built to hang with the big boys. You do want to join the big boys, correct? It has always been such an accomplishment to flex some Honda muscle with these hard headed group of guys. If I told them what you said in the above quote, they'd just chuckle.

Thus, I am constantly changing their opinions with my good 'ol Honda. Basically, I am trying to maintain a full street car that can hang with them on an average circuit roadcourse, decent times at the 1/4mile, godo on gas, and still have plenty to go for those long stretches on the highyway. But MPH for MPH in terms of 1/4mile trap, the Honda is always fighting an uphill battle due to gearing and aero.


Besides the Supra, all of the cars are daily drivers. I just take whichever I feel best. Long 4-5 hour road trips, I take the IS300 because I kept it with a soft coilover suspension. My daily commute to work is usually the Integra because it's great on gas in congested traffic, and great to zip around if I am late. The Camry is for those times when I need to carry my family around but still want to have some fun, or pick up groceries, airport, etc.. when I need a big trunk and lots of storage space. For winter time, it is usually the Integra as well since it is FWD, and I have a massive 800w block heater installed just for winter... It has been like this for almost the last decade.

 

It should be able to do it until about 140mph dependant on toooo many variables

 

i blew the doors off a brand new base model carrera last month from a 60roll, by the end of third he was 3 cars back im putting 300 to the wheels in my eg

 

wow tony the tiger speaks the truth

 

I hear you man...ALL of my friends are V8 guys (2003 Cobra, 2002 Z28, multiple low 11 second 5.0's, some 10 second's, etc). I have full interior, AC, PS, etc on the R and push out about 600 whp whenever I drive it.

It's a constant battle to keep those guys off my back about driving an import. The only way to ever win (by winning I mean the battle of Ego's) is to BOTH; beat them and get better gas mileage...all without breaking down, or at least not as much as them lol.

 

You would be able to beat it, unless you duno how to drive. I've walked on a Carerra 4S (which is faster than a regular carerra) and that was a little above 300WHP. (Since I made 303WHP on 19PSI and its safe to 22, just no dyno @ 22).
