so i was wondering...the other night i was out and i raced a turbo civic hatch older like 92-97ish (sorry not really a honda guy) we went from 50-130ish and he beat me by about 3 cars...

i drive a 2000 camaro with about 480hp at the wheels and not to make excuses because it was a fast civic but i did have 4 people in my car and i had low N2O pressure (wet kit) so i was probly running close to 465hp instead of 480(cause of too much fuel and not enough N20). but how much hp does that civic have to be putting down to beat me like that?!

 

43403524534524535245656917495340958230495802952934 23094824320482034980234930498020359840598035983409 38034304983481394723576938547204958039483094820348 97902384793875039857401394813249812742039548029384 75345938475203948573405987345023948573049587,2 whp

 

fast88std is correct... Otherwise it's not possible for an Import to beat a Domestic by such a distance!

Period.

 

say camero weights about 3500 + 500 for people... 4000lbs... 450hp/4000lbs=0.1125

2500lbs civic w/ driver.. x/2500lbs=0.1125
x=280...

about 300hp

 

the hatch was probably like 2100-2300 pounds.. and it was prolly pushin maybe 350 thats my guess?

 

damn haha not fair...i wish i weighed uner 3k....oh well i will be in the 10's next year

sell ur car get a honda problem solved ..

 

yeah 2300 + 200 driver 2500...

those are very rough estimates/assumptions...

and most likely it was pushing more than 300hp... 350 sounds about right in practice

 

lol i still think i like rolling around in my camaro

but props to him...fastest civic i have seen around here

i do have a buddy thats building a del sol, mortor is all built and it will be turbo next year...should be putting down like 350hp to bad for him i will be putting down 600+ at the wheels next year though

oh man, you domestic guys just dont get it huh?

 

what would that be that i don't get?

i will respect anything that's fast...i don't care if it's a geo or a lambo

 

I can't figure out if this a stupid E-Racing thread... or if this thread actually has some technical information in it.

 

i lost to a civic. jsut wanted to find out what he was putting down...then i started gabbin....i think this might be my 5th post for the day for a new account so i wont be able to respond

Take out rear seats and only give rides to skinny people. Should be lighter then..haha. Either that or make people pay for rides and put it towards a turbo or super charger .

 

on the other night it was 282 on 7 psi od boost

 

I wounder how much you spent and how much he spent?

I bet the Boosted Civic spend less.....

It all really comes down to this.... To get the most horsepower out of per dollar
