Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
2003 corvette coupe
350hp @ 5600rpm 0 - 60 4.9 1/4mile 13.4 / 101.1 Integra Type R 1996 187hp @ 8000rpm (B18C) 0 - 60 6.2 1/4mile 15 something?? which is better 187hp at 8000 rpm or 350hp at 5600rpm? |
Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
V8 VS I4? I would rather have less insurance and save gas with the I4. Screw the vett. I could build the Integra to go 2 times faster than the vett for the price the vett costs. Stupid American cars;)

I'll take the pushrod...lol

Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
i pay the same amount of insurance on my crx as i would on a c5 corvette... they are in the same class "sports car"
going 2x faster than 13sec is impossible. the vette is a far superior car in all respects except gas mileage. out accelerates, out handles, out brakes. everything. much more po in the ls1 engine too lol anyways they aren't really comparable an integra and a corvette. but you can compare a NSX to a corvette. since an NSX is supposed to be the honda/acura sports car. and the vette wins hands down in every aspect. |

Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
stock c5 corvette is 12.45 quatermile
the only way to judge is a type or model of a car is fast is by the stock numbers. ANY CAR CAN BE MADE FAST. VW bugs can be made to run 9s. if you spent all the money on a integra to make it faster than a c5 corvette in the 1/4 mile it wouldn't be a street car anymore. it would take a big turbine/big shot of nos to make it run 12s. and a totally built engine vettes are total street cars, and out perform ANY other car in all competitions done by independant sources. everyyear the lingenfelter (spelling) twin turbo corvette wins the horsepower challange. beats every car that tried to challange it. but last year the twin turbo autoauthority porsche came close. |
Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
But you are putting way too much money to it. The only way you can fairly compare the Integra and the corvette is by the money you spend on it. Sure you can blow $130k on a corvette and make it beat everything but then it’s a racecar too. The hype of the corvette is crap and I do no respect it for what the car is. You spend $50 on a vett and ill spend $50k on an Integra and well see who comes out on top. Put your money where your mouth is. And no, the Civic that raced the C5 has no NOS and is a daily driver.

Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
Do you watch the jgtc, ---- dude the ------ nsx owns its the ultimate chassi. The only thing it may be is underpowered but then again its one of the most effecient v6's ever concieved. But, news is that the v8 will come sooner or later and will reportedly be similar in design to twin f20c's mmm 500hp at 9k sounds good to me

Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
Yo calm down.. Here is a hint. My buddy Steve and his girl went to the local track and both ran the same car in the street nationals.. She won the overall and he sucked ass. Drag racing is not all about how much power your car make..
Like a big penis, its how you use it that counts! ;D |
Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
lol....i agree

Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
well you fruitcakes can say whatever you want. a corvette has won the horsepower challange for the last 4 or 5 years.
z06 is about 50k. NSX is about 80k if anyone in a eclipse beat a c5 vette, the eclipse wasn't stock and the driver of the vette didn't know what he was doing. put 50k into a integra and a stock z06 corvette will still out handle it. there is more to road racing then top end power. Acura NSX 3.2l $89,000 curb weight 3143 DOHC 4valve/cyl VTEC v6 compression 10.2:1 hp per l 91.2 redline 8000rpm 0-60 4.9 1/4 13.4@105.9 fuel economy 17/24 top speed 175 lat acceleration .91 2003 Corvette Z06 $51,135 Engine: 5.7l LS6 OHV v8 curb weight 3133lbs 5.7l/5665cc Horsepower: 405@6000rpm tourqe: 400@4800 redline: 6500 fuel cutoff: 6600 compression 10.5:1 power to weight ratio: 8.09 output hp per l 68 0-60 3.9 (manual) top speed 171mph 1/4th 12.3/116 (manual) fuel economy 19/28 there you have it. out performs a 30k more NSX in every category. even weights 10 pounds less. even beats the NSX in fuel economy. |
Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
of course the eclipse wasnt stock, not many cars that are out racing are stock...thats the point. With a total of maybe 3000, that eclipse tore up the vette...sure, he may have better looks to some people and be faster stock, but thats not why we are here posting on this board

Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
use the 3k to put a centriugal supercharger on the corvette. not even close then.
you can't compare stock to non stock cars. thats like saying the a 96 firebird is faster than a twin turbo porsche... cause the 96 firebird funny car i seen did 8s. |
Re:FEAR THE DOMESTIC POWER!!!!
i can compare any car to any car i want, especially when someone is out racing with a bone stock vette. yes, its a testiment to the c5 that it is so fast stock, but its still cool watching a little beater kick the ---- out of it
