so this whole conversation is apples vs oranges?


Its about those people who think honda is shit (when they've only got some of the most advanced technology the world has seen).

Its about people thinking straight line racing is more fun than tracks driving a car that cant even turn.



Sry I jsut think its funny how some poeple react to these conversations especially monster :D he's a joke trying to bash my car when what he drives wont beat my car straight line or corners. (yea sure go off roading but go off roading in europe and all u'll get is house bricks falling on you.) So i dont care about that. Monster also makes statements he cant back up and that are full off bullshit. So I get my laughs that way.

monster can be funny, i wasn't to fond of him when i first started posting here. but id have to say he has grown on me a little. it is still funny seeing him make an ass of himself though, the most classic i can think of atm is when he said high end race cars dont use front or rear wings anymore.

Nurburgring count? Then yes, I've been on the Nurburgring in a series of cars: e92 M3, twin turbo celica, 1.4L turbo corsa, my CTR and few other mates cars. I must say the celica was the most fun, he was pushing about 600whp.



who gives a fuck about 1/4 straight line racing is boring... driving to 120mph in what 10-12 secs? where the fuck is the fun in that?

Anyone in a car thats capable of doing 10 1/4 would also be able to achieve 10-11 secs (unless they're complete morons and have driving auto all their lives). So wheres skill in that?


you are the one that used the comparison dont get mad because you paid 40 thousand dollars for a fucking Honda you idiot

when did I ever say cars dont use wings anymore? I just said it was old technology which it is, it is the fundamental of aerodynamics. and what cars use front wings @@?

I think alot of us here have experience with Honda's. (own or have owned them, and have worked on them as well)

And "straight line racing" is pretty fun imo.. I eventually had my diff in my 240 welded and I did drift with it a bit, but I have alot more fun with my Mustang lol :D

/facepalm

are you seriously bragging because your civic can beat my lifted Suburban with an 8 inch lift and 35 inch tires?

look we can't all be stupid enough to spend that much money on a piece of shit failwheeldrive mobile but trying to call out a Suburban is just retarded

"lulz my rice can beat your tow/off road vehicle on a track and in a drag race"

cool story I can hook my chains up to your piece of shit and rip its axle in half

i dont wanna go find it im lazy and thats was atleast 7 or 8 months ago. u may have just said it was old technology, which i guess speaking in terms of when it was invented yes it is old but its very diff now.

i suppose u could consider the front wing on a F1 car a front wing. they only have them cuz they are open wheel cars. cars like LMP1 cars basically have the front wing built into the front of the car.

more recent innovations allow us to suck the car to the ground as well by making the airflow under the car faster then the flow above the car. this creates a pocket of low pressure and sucks the car to the ground at higher speeds. the ferrari 360 was one of or the first road car to have underbody aerodynamics capable of this.

okay this is coming from someone who has built 2 of my own turbo hondas, and i have buddies with them as well. you can say honda has been doing with technology forever, and you're correct when it comes to making great dd's with an economical mind set. now they can be very fun yes, but you also can only do so much with them. the b18 i just sold was around 350 whp. it hopped all the way through 3rd if i punched it, which sucks. they can be fun, but why settle for that when i can have as much fun in a rwd v8 pushing that much power 100% stock?

straight line racing is fun, along with turns too. its not like you can only have one or the other. but on the other hand... this is the year 2009 and American vechiles can turn just as well as your civic. its not like we are far behind on technology and handling just blows through our head. so to say American vechiles cant hang is obsurb.

and i dont care what monster drives. i own a stock f-150, does this put a burden on my knowledge? i dont think so.

yes this is all true

I remember the thread you are talking about but I don't remember saying wings were not used anymore

and just cuz technology is old doesn't make it not good, hell how long ago was the wheel invented

spellcheck my negro `` absurd and vehicles XD

other than that clearly owning a truck means you know nothing because civics are god

I wonder how dumb he would feel if an American i4 ftw car pulled up next to him like a Cobalt SS or a srt-4, would be funny to watch him get his ass kicked
