i get about 25mpg, with MULTIPAL wot trips daily... and driving 50/50 highway city.

lets recap.

*stock

290-320hp at the wheels
310-330ft-lbs at the wheels

mid 20smpg raped daily driving city/highway

damn i sure miss that integra... which i got 27mpg turbocharged... and was slower than my camaro was stock... but hey the resale value was a better percentage of the initall cost 20 years down the road
.

hope it was worth all the times i lost to stock LT1 automatic camaros

The fact that you fail at turbo Hondas is your own fault, not the car's fault. None too surprising then that you think your new mid 13 second ---- pile is "fast".

Depreciation is a percentage value, not a fixed amount. That means the starting price of the vehicle has nothing to do with it. The best cars in the world (according to you) suffer from massive depreciation, while those shitty import cars (again, only according to you) hold so much value that it often frustrates used car shoppers. Your lack of appreciation for what resale value represents (the quality of the car) is due to your own stupidity. No one buys a car to make money on it, but good cars hold value infinitely better than dumbestic ----.


Oh, and of course your car gets decent gas mileage, all slow cars do. No power = good gas mileage

Thought there were a couple stock F Bodies in the 12s?? Has Honda put something out that runs 12s for under 50k stock with a warrenty?

honda has never made a production car that can run 12s or even close.

go to the track and watch the NSXs run 14s...

and a base model ls1 powered z28 camaro is about 21k new... in 01

225hp and 240ft-lbs on a stock b18b seems pretty good to me...

its only common sense to know that a car that is initially costs much more is going to hold its value better. if there is 9 million malibus out there and 500,000 lexuss they're going to be worth more used...

13 second stock = pretty fast.

better than your car was stock. and i never bragged about my camaro being the ultimate fast sweet machine stock

but my mustang is faster than your car, and its built better to. last time i checked my 2nd gear still works making almost double the hp and more than double the torque of your car.

hey, what car do you drive when your project car is broken i drive a 01 ls1 z28 camaro....

I lol ever time these guys come with "stock" times for these cars. "Stock" doesn't included slicks.

It's called a turbo... I was going to say EG, but then I realized you could even put an EK D-series in the 12's for $5,000 including the price of the car. Who needs a warrenty when you could make 10 of the car for the price you specified.

you can make a 5.0 mustang far faster for much much less... including the car. and it won't blow up all the time and break trans/axels constantly

That's pretty hilarious logic you have there. The Camry is the best selling car in the country multiple years running and it still depreciates at an astoundingly slower rate than any car in its class made by a dumbestic company. As a matter of fact, EVERY car made my import (many Japanese) companies holds its value better than EVERY equivalant car made by dumbestic companies. Rarity has absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm starting to think you must be like 16 years old. The stuff you say doesn't even make sense.

And no, a 13.5 @ 103 is laughable. Not fast, hardly even quick.

Yea keep telling yourself that as I blow the doors off even modified 5.slow ---- boxes in... not even my car, but the Redline.

And again, your failure at turbo Hondas does not extend to everyone else.
