Default does my little SOHC even have a chance? * a bit of tech*

i have an auto, non vtec, d15b7 94 civic hacth dx. intake and 4-1 header

im supposed to run a 240sx, almost stock, maybe a few bolt ons (auto, '96)

so my power to weight ratio is 2178lbs/108hp = 20.17lbs/hp

and his would be 2753lbs/155hp = 17.76lbs/hp

so on paper, we both suck, lol but seriously on paper i have the advantage.

but would it really matter if i have wrong wheel drive?

im not going to do a neutral drop, but rather braking while gassing it a bit.

is there a smarter way to launch an auto/fwd car?

ima check tire pressures, make sure i dont have a full tank of gas and take out my spare. anything else i can do to prepare?

anyone ever run a stock auto 240sx before? i have hx wheels if that matters at all.

Oh my God. Stop posting now. This isn't an E-Racing thread.

E-Racing = Asking questions like yours. We don't know who will win and we don't care. If you're street racing your even a bigger idiot. If you're on a track, I commend you for that.

You're funny. Because this thread has no tech involved in at all. Your asking us who do we think will win? I can assure you that maybe .01% of HT will actually post the answer you're looking for.

Instead of asking us, why don't you just do it? You'll find out your answer that way.

Now you're just hating on other members because you're not getting the answer you want. Leave Honda-Tech.

because there is noone that actually does care, if you really wanna know its capabilities and how to drive it, i will reccommend searching for the info and try the drag racing forum and ask them about how to properly launch and such....you can also im me on jburnsua if you want some pointers

ok, gotcha.

i liek how you did that whole " i told on you to mommy thing" at the end of your post.

i read the rules, and i do understand this thread isnt allowed.

but i responded only when a insult was put upon me first.


a simple " read the rules, this thread isnt allowed here" woulda have helped alot.

but

Haven’t you heard...? Rust is the new weight reduction system.. come on man.. you Noob your cars going to just absolutely smash him.. you’ll win by like 7 car lengths.. and while were at the guessing game.. I’m going to guess that he’ll come up to you after the race (assuming your at a track and not being dumb on the street) and he’s going to bow down and kiss your feet because he, like you, thought his car is/was fast, and thinks you are now god. In the mean time there’s going to be a 7 second Camaro running on the track behind you.. and of course since you guys are kissing each others asses.. you wont notice it. But... I’m just guessing.. Just looking what’s on paper.. Have fun on HT and don’t post that **** here.

(yeah that was kinda harsh. but i thought it was funny)
