why do you say that, hes got a rusty regal that weighs 4000 lbs, im like 2700 lb so i should have the advantage. its all about the power to weight baby. i looked up the specs of the 3.8l and they only make 110 hp so it should be a peace of cake. i run mid 13s

hahahahhahah. Are you really expecting to win? Those GN's are like the new Supra's. Very easy and cheap to go fast with minor upgrades. I bet he is running high 11's/ low 12's if he really does have those mods.

110hp out of the Grand National? Think again. Even if you had cams in that sucker, I think you'd get skooled.

Good luck daniel-san.....

you're going to need it.

You obvious haven't see this little symbol yet. ->

Just thank God for not betting any money on the race. And 110hp? You're tripping, sir. They make 245hp and 355ft-lb. Sure they're just 3.8L. But you seem to have missed a slight little thing....3.8L V-6 TURBO!!!!!

Even if you run 12s, looking at the mods that he has, you'll have hard time. Those cars easily break into 11s. On Grand National club website, they have a performance recipe. It's a 11 sec recipe for $1500.....

Wow....what were you thinking? Let me rephrase that....what in the HELL were you thinking? Now you're gonna get your *** kicked in front of your girlfriend.

I hope this guy is a Grand National owner playing a joke?

Just in case it's no joke you are going to get your *** handed to you
This is the only bad part about owning a Honda

Obviously a setup. Trial user, 2 total posts.

Wish the mods would delete some of these troll's accounts and posts. That'll clean up this place...

GN are fast as ****. I been to the street races in Philly a while back and their wasn't any car their that could touch this GN that was down their. So I doubt your si is even going to stand a chance maybe if you had a 300 shot of nitrous. But its a joke so who cares

I just lost some IQ reading that.

When do you guys race? I feel like betting. I'll put money on the GN.

Len, who was at the dragstrip yesterday watching GNs run 8.50 1/4 times and lightly modded GNs running 11s and 12s. Those cars are badass! Just a 6! Hahahahahaha...GNs rock!

To GN Owner: I know you must be nervous racing that fast and furious civic si that your coworker has. Trust us. You'll beat him. In fact, I'll put my money on you. Now, go buy a Honda, come back and join us.

hahahahahhaahha

I just looked up the 87 GN, and according to C&D they listed it as a 13.9 stock, and the 87 GNX as a 13.5 stock. So even if it wasn't modded he would work you!!!You better get a 200 shot of laughin gas for yourself the maybe a 100 shot for the car a pray

to make a long story short i got my *** handed to me, stole, then handed back to me again. he showed up last night with a set of slicks and a wheelie bar on, i thought he was bluffing so i decided to run him any way. we went to a local abandoned industrial park to run there. before we ran we made a little bet, who ever wins gets to rip a part off the losers car, i ended up loosing my girls exhaust tip. we lined up and i could hear his car hissing, that really got my hopes up, maby sence his car had a bad vacuum leak and was idling ruff i might just could school him. on the 3d honk we floored it, i got a good launch and only chirped a little, he on the other had did not churp and pulled the front end off the ground after it was all sed and done he got me by about 4 or 5 buss lengths.

You my friend are an ultimate idiot. You win the short bus award. To the GN owner, please understand most of us respect your car, and I stress "most." Please do not have one ricer be the only way you see us.

maby sence his car had a bad vacuum leak and was idling ruff i might just could school him.
It's the turbo.
