Vipers, Ferraris, etc. back then were only breaking 12s...if you look at it relatively.

I'd feel embarrassed if a Honda at least kept up with me in a 370Z.

Meh, unimpressed. Dump enough money into a lawn mower and itll go like an F1 car. Reminds me of this Dbag guy I used to know when I had old my 350. The 350 was new back then, stylish, cool and very handsome. He had this 98 civic or something, he said it ran low 12's. The thing was gutted!! He had a lawn chair for the single seat, no carpet, wires hanging everywhere. What a **** box. Yes, it blew the doors off my 350, but the point is I have doors.

Around here, it's guys driving their mini-van like it's a sports car. It is hilarious to watch them haul *** from the stoplight, change lanes (no turn signals) and then almost lose it trying to get stopped at the next light. Meanwhile, I barely get to third. Then there are the soccer moms in SUVs. Texting and driving all over the road. I think my next mod is a 106 recoilless rifle in the hatch area....

^when you use a "big block motorcycle" engine...to pull a 2,400 lb. car to do 13s...I think that's something noteworthy.

I got outta the Honda scene...owhhh, in '04. I sold that EG then. I'm not defending anything. I essentially got outta the Honda scene because it was getting ricey, cops will constantly pull you over, but best of all...I was getting older and it looks immature. Plus the JDM, Honda thing was becoming passé around that time.

It's the shock factor, or sleeper character that made Hondas interesting.

There's nothing sleeper about a civic hatch with a straight pipe. It sounds like ricey *** and eveyone around knows it.

edk370 · 04-02-2014, 02:26 PM

^depends on the exhaust you use. Plus I did use a high flow, high performance, aftermarket cat...I forgot which brand but they used to advertise them in Turbo magazine. They were like $200+, kinda pricey for a cat. When DOHC VTEC hits....it sounds BEAU-TI-FUL!

Chuck33079 · 04-02-2014, 02:29 PM

If you swing that way, I guess. The only Honda I4 I've ever heard that didn't sound like a bag of smashed assholes was in a S2K.

Yeah, if the Hondatards keep bothering you, an earful of a BOV from a car that didn't come from the factory with a turbo usually scares them away.

edk370 · 04-02-2014, 02:35 PM

^yeah, I'd rather drive a 370; I owned one. The one I had was COMPLETELY stock. I'd rather have that over a heavily modded Honda that can break 12s and VIBRATES/RATTLES after it turns over.

But my point is, some Hondas are fast. I do think, however, that most out there are posers. They're the residual who didn't catch the Honda-swap craze in the late 90s. They're like the people who are too dull to see that wearing fashion from 10 yrs. ago will make you look lost.

B-series and H22As with high quality bolt on's don't sound like crap. They sound just like the Honda F1 cars.
