Lets bust some Honda myths over here!!!!!
How about the one that it is cheaper to make Hondas fast!
"High tech" Honda engine VS. "Low Tech" American V8
A lot of Honda enthusiasts say it is easy to build a 500 HP Honda engine. Sure it is if you have enough money! Buth then with enough money, you could make a lawn tractor outrun a top fueler. The April 1998 issue of Hot Rod magazine featured 2 engine buildup stories: one a "high tech" turbo Honda engine built by JG Engine Dynamics, and an "old tech" Buick 455 V8. Hot Rod, unlike most "sport compact car" magazines, gets into the details of the engines in featured cars and the costs to build. Both made 500 horsepower, but the Honda cost almost 3 times what the Buick cost . Basically, they threw away the bottom end of the Honda, since in stock form the Honda cannot withstand the pressures of making 500 HP. They basically rebuilt the block with ductile iron cylinder sleeves and closed the open block deck by welding in a deck plate.The pistons and rods were replaced with expensive aftermarket pieces.
The "low tech" Buick used nearly all stock parts with the exception of ported stock heads, an aftermarket cam, aluminum intake manifold and headers. The Buick's short block uses a stock rods,crank, and block. It will make 500 HP using ordinary premium pump gas, while the Honda needs expensive racing gas to make the full 500 hp.
The Buick engine was installed in a large 3950 lb. Buick GS and ran the quarter mile in 11.59 secs. It would be much quicker if the engine was put in a lighter car, like a Nova, Skylark, or Ventura. According to JG Engine Dynamics, their Honda engines usually run low 11sec. - quarter-miles in a 2500 lb.Civic.
Keep in mind that the Buick 455 is not even a popular engine to modify; parts for Buick engines are more expensive than more common Chevys. But for the same price as ONE high-strung, grenade-waiting- to-detonate Honda engine, TWO mild, more durable "old tech" Buick V8s could be built with money left over. In fact, you could build the Buick engine and pick up a fairly nice car to put the Buick engine in for less than the cost of the Honda engine alone!
So unless you have a rich mommy and daddy, or don't mind maxing out your credit cards or taking out a 2nd mortgage, Hondas engines are not great to modify for drag racing if you want to go fast for a reasonable amount of money

Cliff notes: It cost 1/3 of the money to make 500 hp on the american v8 and it made the 500 hp on PUMP GAS. The honda needed 118 octane race gas to even make 500 hp...the thing would probably make 400 hp on pump gas and im sure the american v8 has a far better power and torque curver as well.
I own a mustang jackass why do you think im on this site?? I just hate when dumb fucks like you run your mouth about something you know NOTHING about(hondas incase you missed that).. Justin your not cool.. just incase nobody has told you??The dude arguing doesn't even have a Honda..... lol. He's a tool. I love the s2000 but its also rwd and has a little power.

Says the dude with the ugly yellow mustang SMH! My car is far from stock, the pic is just old but i really dig the picture! You really could of came up with something better then that ketchupI'm done being nice boosted93 ur car looks like a stock douche bag
justin, are you the type of character who argues and has to have the last word in, always be right, talk in 3rd person perspective and talk about everything you own is ZOMG best? if you say no, then thats the impression you give...
if they like hondas, who cares?

The purple was a joke.. Ive heard him tell other people in other threads about the color and have seen other pics of his car..And IMO that front bumper is nasty..His yellow car is currently being built, that picture is old as well. Plus that's not his only car. He's got three and has some serious money in them, just saying.
Also, Justin's car is Moonlight Blue. A very nice color, I know I've owned one.
As for the bickering, I say yall open up a new thread in another section like previously stated.

As for the yellow one im not a big fan of yellow but he opened his mouth Soooo i let him know what i thought of his.. Sounds fair dont it??
Tell us more since justin seems to think all hondas are trash...I have no clue where you are getting these prices from... a built 10 sec honda (1200 for the bottom end, 100 for stock type R cams, 1200 turbo set up, 200 management, 300 for a clutch) then minor suspension mods plus slicks... total is still wayyyy cheaper than what you are quoting...
Yeah my girl cousins owned one in high school and i really liked it too.. its not something you see every day but it really does look purple in that pic lolOh ok, I took a little bit of a defensive on that because I've owned a Moonlight Blue GT. One beautiful color IMO.
Yeah he did, I was just saying that the picture you see is old just like the one in your sig is old as you said.
I'm not saying to not keep going back and forth, it's entertaining. Just not meant for this thread and disrespectful to the OP.
Your replys feed into all of this soooo your not helping much..
