i think delsols with a 7 inch drop are SICK as hell. they look like no other car on the road, and if you are pushing 400 hp in one, damn they look good zooming away

Don't know about hp, haven't been to the dyno
DOHC should be able to hit 14's very easily.
Think about it this way, I had 125 stock and the dohc has 160 stock. I'm pretty close to that mark, so you should be able to hit that no problem.

my friends doing low 13's with a gs-r motor and a 50 shot of nos. it's not all that bad and they do look alright. his motors unbuilt so it's not an eg6 or anything, but it's still different and allows for not as much competition on times i guess.

I have a VTEC Sol.

I pay around $120 a month in insurance.

Car payment is $180, I paid $14,000 for the car.

I G-Tech'ed it stock and ran a 15.56.

Haven't run it since (just I/H/E). I'm hoping to dyno soon just to get some base numbers, I'll let you know if I do.

As for getting it into the 14s, it'll be no harder with a del Sol VTEC then it would with a GSR or 6th Gen Si.

you wont find a del sol VTEC in white, unless they have had it painted. del sol VTEC's only came in red, blk, and green.

you won't have to worry about having 2 people in the back because there's no back seat in a del Sol

They made VTECs from '94-'97.

Depending where you live, how much you want to pay, and what condition you want, they can be pretty tough to find.

JUN Cam?? I was just on the JUN site, and there's no mention of D16Z6 parts on there at all. Only B16A, B16B, B18C, and H22A.

Yeah, I'm well aware of this. Lots of people like to start **** about it. I talked to the right folks, sent them the parts and paid an *** load of money. That is how it was accomplished.
