OK Ladies and Gents apparently ive been placed in the middle of possibly the dumbest street race on the planet. 05 Dodge Ram Thunder Road edition 4.7 V-8 (Auto) vs. 96 Honda Civic ex.(Manual) Ok before you guys ask who's got what... they are both BONE STOCK!! this all started when my buddy with the civic told my buddy with the Ram............

Civic: I can smoke that shitty Ram
RAM: ohh yeah well whats under the hood?
Civic: Im stock
RAM : Bull shit stop lying to yourself

so they continued to bicker back and forth and this has been going on for a while and i tried to step in
ME: ok Guys number wise ram wins weight wise civic wins driver wise both of you guys are rather even

so to make a long story short im the referee in this race so Place your bets

hm... considering my V8 Thunderbird just lost to a 5.3 Silverado.. I'd say the ram (How much does the 4.7 make?)

Need to know a lil more about the Ram, Regular cab or Quad Cab (four door), 2wd or 4wd? If it's a 2wd Regular Cab, I'll give it to the Ram, if it's a QC or 4x4, hard to say, they get pretty heavy. Either way it's gonna be a long, slow race LOL

The civic will blow the clutch on the launch and the dodage will break down around 20 mph....

lol good stuff, but i think the Ram if single cab and 2wd will take the civic

The civic will blow the clutch on the launch and the dodage will break down around 20 mph....


:1:


My money is on the Dadge tho...


If you can't Dodge it...Ram it!

I'm going with the dodge as well

ok the civic is a 2 door and the ram is quad cab 4x2

ok the civic is a 2 door and the ram is quad cab 4x2
Hmmm, might be close, we'll call it a driver's race :) When is this going down? Let us know how it goes.

my money if i had any would be on the Dodge

Possibly close, but I'd bet the Dodge

2005 Dodge Truck Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4X2

Invoice Price: $24,216
4.7L V8
Horsepower 235 @ 4800 RPM
Torque 300 @ 3200 RPM
Curb Weight MT 4,967 lbs
Curb Weight AT 5,026 lbs

1996 Honda Civic EX
Base Price $16,280
inline sohc 16-valve 4-cylinder
Horsepower 127 @ 6600
Torque 107 @ 5500
Curb Weight 2,518 lbs

2,500 lbs difference, i say the ex ;)

After seeing the number, really close. Drivers race.

I dislike both, Civic wins though.

bench racers suck

weight smeight. you still need the fudgen power to go somewhere.


Money on the Ram.

What kind of race? From a roll or from a dig?

if it's from a dig i'd take the rammer...from a roll...pretty even, i'd say that the EX would win

Ram all the way, This one kid rented one not that long ago and for kicks put it up against his friends avenger, The Ram won.

not the dumbest race ever, the race I flagged once was dumber....2002 civic LX automatic vs. 1971 volkswagen beetle manual...talk about a long slow race.

Ok this one is going down sometime mid august and we are going to moroso motorsport track

it doesnt matter anyway even if the civic loses hes gonna say vtec didnt kick in

I predict the Ram will pull the EX from a dig due to the fact of it's almost 3 times torque rating dispite being twice the weight, the Ram will lead the pair down the track but as the speeds climb and the RAM starts bucking wind the EX will start pullng on it, the race will be close at the finish line but I think the Ram will hold on but barely.

WTF kind of race is this? :eek7:

You should just have them race on foot. It'd be more interesting.

:lol: :rofl: :lol:

This is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Anyway, I'm with Josh on this one. I expect both to break down after the light goes green.

Make it interesting.... uh, Hmmmmmm. Put a log in the road!!!:biggrin:

:iagree:

So it won't go down until August eh? So is this some sort of heavy weight bout or something. I say get a vid of it. Like Pay Per View this shit or something.

Although, flat out, the Honda is going to own the Dodge. What good is power if you can't get your ass out of the hole because you weigh too much??:icon16:. It'd be like Don Vito racing Bam Margera. Sure we all know he can take Bam as far as power goes. But on a foot race, Don Vito just can't compete. :screwy:

Plus, VTEC is on our side. As soon as he hits the 5500 RPM mark in first,BAMM!!... he's gone!!



:iceslolan

I am sure who ever films it in another car, they will be able to keep up and get some close up footage.

Dude, I've seen viva la bam plenty of times to know that vito kicks bam's ass over and over and over.

Get a Huffy and beat them both..

As much as it pains me to say it, I'm leaning towards the Civic provided it has a competent driver.

Rob

honestly I vote we ban thread starter can I get that added to the poll?

WTF kind of race is this? :eek7:

Nope it wouldnt the guy in the Ram weighs about 310 of pure fat and is about 5'8" the guy in the civic is 6'2" and weighs about 135 pounds wet with 10 pounds of extra clothes on!

The civic will blow the clutch on the launch and the dodage will break down around 20 mph....

LMFAO :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I think this quote from maddox applies to this race: "Watching people race in Civics is like watching people race in minivans. I suppose the competition is there, but it's anti-climactic, like watching two geriatrics playing golf. It's a race where even if you win, you lose."

Plus, VTEC is on our side. As soon as he hits the 5500 RPM mark in first,BAMM!!... he's gone!!

sohc vtec's don't exactly go "BAMM!!".

sohc vtec's don't exactly go "BAMM!!".

I know, most tend to go *Bwwweeeeee*
