what i considfer unfair is bolt on turbo VS built turbo, and it was also racing in it the civics good area(top end) unfair does belong, thats why they have classes of cars when racing
well i consider it unfair the camaro has 4 times the displacement :what:

there are no classes on the street, the camaro knew excactly what he was getting into, and pretty much all racing is in the top end except autocross really...

dragraving is well rounded, if you dont have low end, you catch up ion the top end
autoX is all around
rally uses alot of low and top

and your right the camaro did have it coming to you......I gues what gets me about this is that A civic beats a turbo V8 and all of the sudden all domestic drivers are "put in their place" I mean if I had to choose a platform to start from it would be the SS does that make me a yuppy domestic boy, and I would beat civics all day, but the second one beats me suddenly domestics suck

yea, i see what you are saying. like i got respect for domestics, mods for mod the ss would have killed the civic, but thats not really the point. the fact that a civic, with such a small engine relative to the camaro can beat it is fairly impressive.

i think its lame when people say domestics suck just becaus eone got beat, like say i boost my civic, and i go out and a beat an old vette or something, im not going to be like " THATS RIGHT b***h, GET OUTTA POKEMON STADIUM!! DUMBESTICS SUCK " because thats just lame. i would give him a thumbs up and be thankfull he didn't have any more mods than he did. i hope you are seeing where im going with this...but yea anyway, nice video.

you need to have a corvette Z06 to break into the twelves. i've never seen a stock regular c5 break 12's. there is no way an ss can bust 12's stock.
Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. All of the normal ls1 motor in the fbody dyno at about 325 give or take. This is an engine thats suppose to only be making 320 at the motor. My buddy bought his brand new, I was there in 2002 when he bought it. On the dyno it turned around 350 whp all stock mind you. Now does it make sense. He has a freak car that came from the factory with more power than its suppose to. It happens all the time. I have another buddy with a z28 that couldn't do any better than 13.5. I cant get to do any better than that either. I've seen too many stock c5 break 12s its not even funny.
Man I'm not here to bs you. Just here to tell you out of the bunch theres always a few cars that for some strange reason come with more power than its suppose. And plus there are way too many factors at the track i.e. tires, drivers, track conditions. The only a c5 has on a fbody is 100+ acceration where aerodynmaics play a big part.

lol point blank..... Turbo hatchy vs Turbo muscle car.... tisk tisk tisk to the domestic..... ish happens... I got videos i need to figure out how to post.... of my friends in philly beating the living ish out of domestics fully tuned all day.... and also reverse. The hatchy was nice.... Guys we dont yet know what type of mods the civic has.. If its an ls turbo u cant say that it was unfair because it was a top end run because ls has no top end. rofl..... and i have friends with frankenstein h22/h23block hatchies doing 12.9s with jus the swap but anywayz whats that tell you about v8 vs 4cyl.... power to weight.... get in the game???? take it ez

um....did you see the video? :lol:

Swapped, fully built civic vs stock ls1 with turbo.

If Camaro was using the engine that came in the car not some fancy swap from some other car.

The fastest drag cars on earth are V8s, not inports.

you are not making any points here bud....:lol:

the land speed records are set by smaller engines

and imports can have v8's too you know :what:

and most import pro drag racers are just as fast as v8's, for example the aem civic, has a TT v6 and runs a 6 second 1/4...

we can through points all day and still wouldn't get anywhere, and it still has nothing to do with the video, and your original (incorrect) statement

:D

you are completley missing the point...and only picking and choosing which points to reply to because they are the only ones that you (possibly) make a valid point with...
