I will agree that some Honda owners put the fart can on and think they have a car from the Fast and the Furious. Sad, but hey to each their own.

The driver counts for a lot, but you still need the tools of the car to get up and go... There are plenty of Civics like that around here. They all have two things and two things only: a body kit and a fart-can... and they put the whole car in primer and leave it like that, like they ran out of money for paint or something. Most of them I come across run like 17.5 1/4 or higher.

Hondas are good dependable cars with a lot of performance parts available. Having lots of parts can be both good and bad. Some of the Hondas i've run across are actually slower in their moded form than when they were new, same with about half of the neons I see too.

Some of the Hondas i've run across are actually slower in their moded form than when they were new, same with about half of the neons I see too.That could be because of the huge wing and heavy sound system people put in their car and still want to go fast. I thought the idea was to get lighter and quicker?!?!?!

Replace those factory 14" alloys with some 17"s and some wide tires... Perfect for parking or looking at tail lights.

dont kid yourself my friend, you do drive a neon. be proud of that, neons have a long legacy of scca autocross championships!

for less than $10,000 i can build you an 11 second honda. there is no way your going to be able to do that with a neon chassis! its just not possiable. it is true, most honda's are goofy looking slugs, dont underestimate them!

Anyone notice that the SRT-4 ACR uses 16" wheels instead of the standard equipment 17"s.
The reduced tire/wheel weight is supposed to make it quicker on the AutoX courses.

no, what im saying is that for 10k i can buy a honda and make it that fast! not additional 10, but 10 totalYeah, I think you can build an 11 second neon for $10,000. Let's see...

Used 97-99 ACR neon $1500 (already comes w/koni's)
Hahn Racecraft Stage II Turbo $3000
Nitrous Express Kit $580
Driveshaftshop Stage III Axles $1000
Top end rebuild $1200
Bottom end rebuild $1200

That's around $8500 and you would need your slicks and a few other things. It might run a tad over 10, but it may not be by much. Damn Tex, you got $10,000 grand to give me and I'll see what I can do :)...it might even be less if I got used stuff!

for 10 grand you can make a honda so much faster than a neon it is unbelievable all you have to do is get urself a crx and swap a h22a into it and you will be running a pretty quick quarter mile on just the engine no turbo or anything and you can probably do that for like 6000 that gives you 4 more to add other shit

I DO NOT LIKE THE FART Pipes, i mean wtf is that supposed to sound like

Well, on a Honda, it usually sounds like a wet fart after eating too much soy sauce...

AND:

"...the 06 si looks pretty nice and it has a claimed 197hp but as with all hondas they lack torque it has a claimed 136lbs. what are they thinking."

True. Like Carrol Shelby used to say: "Horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races." There's a lot of truth to that... Calculating horsepower by it's original definition is kind of tricky in the real world, but in essence, it's the ability for an engine to accelerate upward through the RPM range while applying torque. Torque is the maximum amount of output force that an engine can sustain at a given RPM. I would take a motor with 160hp/195ft-lbs of torque over a motor with 195hp/160ft-lbs of torque any day of the week.

blakscorpion21
10-09-2005, 10:35 PM
true. but just cause it has no torque dont mean its not quick. the new celuica gts only has 130tq and runs 14s. what model neon runs a 15.8? which engine. how much do the older neons weigh? i raced my cousins neon its an older one and we were about even.

das2123
10-10-2005, 08:42 AM
what model neon runs a 15.8? which engine. how much do the older neons weigh?Just about any Manual Neon from 95-99 with either the SOHC or DOHC engine can run 15.8 stock. If someone can't, then they need some serious driving lessons. The 95-99 neons, depending on options like PW, PL, AC, and whatnot, can weigh in around 2400-2500 lbs. Stripped down, you can get it to around 2100-2200!

hes a very good driver too ive rode with him.He isn't that good if he can't pull 15.8 in a manual neon. Hell the stock DOHC ATX neon can pull around 16.5 stock and it is the slowest and heaviest of the first gen neons!

by the way, for some who may not be Chrysler-affiliated, there is one car for sure that can burn most modded Civics, any Chrysler K-car w/ the 2.2 turbo I or II motor. The best off all the 2.2 turbos was in the '92 Dodge Spirit R/T w/ a 2.2 DOHC Turbo III motor. That car is a sit-down-shut-up-and-hold-on-for-dear-life rocket ship on four wheels that came w/ 224 HP, about what the SRT4 makes today. The 2.2 was the most reliable engine Chrysler ever made, next to the 318 V8. VTEC is fine and good, but that 2.2 is all natural w/ over 200 lb. ft. of torque, REAL power.

If you saw what I said earlier I said that in 1992 that car made 224 HP and 214 lb. ft. of torque, nearly 16 years ago, the '92 Dodge Spirit R/T was, AT THAT TIME, the fastest production sedan w/ an ungoverned top speed of 141 MPH. Yes the S2000 makes 240 HP, but you have to wind the motor up to 9000 RPM to get the power. Everyone here is sold on HP, ok that's all fine and good. Like I said earlier and everyone else has said, TORQUE IS WHAT MAKES THE CAR GO FROM A STANDSTILL!!! HP is only good in the high RPM. I'm not here to say that Mopar is better than Honda, by no means. I'm giving you inside information, being a Chrysler enthusiast, as to other alternative engines that can compete with Modded Hondas and whatever. And by the way, IMO, my car is better than any Civic, I drive a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. I considered an '04 Civic last year but changed my mind b/c it was way to small for me (I'm 6'1" 265 lb. I need a lot of room). Plus, my car(2.7 V6 200 HP @5800 RPM, 190 lb. ft. torque @ 4850 RPM) makes ample power for me to give these modded Civics a run for their money. If I can find one, I'm going to get a 2001 Dodge Intrepid w/ a 3.5 SOHC V6 making 250 HP and 250 lb. ft. of torque. I saw one destroy a Nissan Maxima (newer model w/ 265 HP). Not bad for a stock vehicle that weighs over 3600 lb.!

no im not implying that the del sol is a bad car, its acyually quite fast with the 160hp vtec considering it only weighs 2000 lbs. not to mention it handles very well. i think del sols are great little cars, wouldnt mind owning one myself.

and the s2000 has high hp but its all hp and no torque. which means like he said slow off the line. and the s2000 is a high compression engine that doesnt respond well to mods and cant run high boost without blowing up. and the 2.2 is responsive to mods, has alot of torque, and power in the useable rpm range. plus it wont blow up at high boost. the s2000 is great and all but the engine is pretty maxed out from the factory. so unless you spend alot building up the internals dont expect to get much out of it.

yes each car maker has strengths and weaknesses and hondas weakness is that they have no torque. if they wanted a good hp/tq ratio the hp would have to be lowered dramatically. so average to gether the hp amd tq of ur engine and thats how good it truly is. plus s2000 are expensive as hell.

actually, if you take a look at any honda other then the small cars, their horsepower and torque are roughly equal.

and guess what, the small cars are made to be economical, long lasting, and gas efficient. the S2000, it's quicker then you think actually, because it's so light.

take a look at the lotus elise, it's (i think) got a honda engine... and it's VERY competitative on the race course.


and take a look at the neon r/t (what i have), 150hp... but wow... only like 135lb-ft of torque... it's not only honda's that have cars that have more hp then torque.

pik d i see your not getting the concept of this thread. im wont even elaborate. the elise is slow as balls and so is the s2000. my nearly stock 220 hp gst has beaten both badly. i had an RT 2 yrs ago and beat every s2 i came across. not saying the s2 cant be very fast but its hard to take it past what it already is. yes it has 240 hp thats at like what 8000rpms. so the torque we are talking about is what it takes to move the car from a sit still. that is where all hondas fail. fine from a run s2's are quick, .................................................. .........................................just so noone is confused i do own a neon its under consturction at the moment thou, so dont think im trying to brag about my boosted gst, because im not when im done with my new RT its gonna murder my gst.

10-11-2005, 09:51 PM
you had a neon r/t that beat s2000's? was your neon stock?

i'd like to see you back up that the elise is slow. it gets from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, and can hit 150mph. source (http://www.sandsmuseum.com/cars/elise/thecar/performance/performance.html). i'd say that's impressive for only 138lb-ft of torque.

so... how can you judge stock honda's (you do seem to be saying honda's as a collective) against a modded car?

do you think your stock neon would have been able to destroy those cars just as easily had it been stock? i drive a 5-speec 2003 neon R/T, and i dont feel like i have a fast car by any respects... sure, maybe i can take stock civics, but thats not what stock civics are MADE for.

why not judge cars by what they're ment for, not what you want them to be? elise's were made for the track, not the straight line.

also, what went into your gst that helped you make short work of them? and what were your times vs. their times?

10-12-2005, 01:44 AM

Hmm I think I could (or anyone else that knows how to drive) have gotten in a late-90's Neon R/T 5-spd and hit the 15.8 and kept smilin'. I could probably clean my car out and whatever and run close to that in my '04. We might drive it like we stole it but it gets the job done... someone doesn't know much about neons ha ha ha.

exactly. as if that's not enough, running a 15.8 in a Honda with "everything" done to it except for boost or nitrous is nothing special. if you think "everything" is an intake, header, and exhaust, you have much to learn.

this is the reason I got in this thread. not to get into a pissing contest with an ignorant tool who hasn't even built his car yet.

Very good qoute (in my opinion, and thanks for agreeing). I think Honda has excellent quality and sells a good product. And yes, their cars are a LITTLE bit more reliable, but if and when they do break, you'll pay more for them. And as far as straight-line balls-out acceleration is concerned, it is much easier to achieve much better results with a neon, measured in whole seconds with a lot less money than you can with a Honda, period. That's the fact, and if it was different I probably would have bought a Honda instead... but it's not, and that's the way it is. Not to mention the Neon is made in the U.S... a little patroitism for all you nostalgics :-) Not to mention the fact that I work for a Tier 1 supplier direct to Chrysler, and I know first-hand how picky they have been getting about their own quality and performance of their vehicles.

pik d i see your not getting the concept of this thread. im wont even elaborate. the elise is slow as balls and so is the s2000. my nearly stock 220 hp gst has beaten both badly.

Um, hey I have respected your posts, but the Lotus Elise weighs under 2000 lbs stock and has a 190hp Toyota motor to back it, let alone a near 50/50 weight ratio... and the last I saw, it slung out 13.9's in the 1/4-mile bone stock (not sure how skinny the driver was). Nonetheless, there is something to be said for power-to-weight ratio, and this car proves it. If your 220 hp GST beat either of the cars you mentioned, than either A - you have more hp than you think. B - Both drivers of both these cars were horrible drivers or were missing half of the gears in their tranny or were running on gas that was half water. Or C - they had 4 dead bodies in the trunk...

woo, the last few post put into words what i was trying to dig out...

and idriveacab, i DID read the thread in it's entirety, and its basicly you being immature (calling ALL honda's walmart mobiles) and basicly going on an anti-honda rant. and hey guess what... dont blame the car, blame the person. ;) honda's dont think. people do.

i drive a cab, you are full of bullshit. a gst will beat neither a s2000 or an elise. i dont think you see elises all the time cause ive never seen one. if you did see them they wouldnt be afraid cause they have a car that can run 13s. and what does a gst run high 14s?

del sols weigh 2300 i thought they weighed less than that. what does a stock del sol vtec run in the 1/4.

what went into your gst that helped you make short work of them?I could see the GST beating an elise. But the fact that the elise is much lighter would make it close. I think the driver would have alot to do with the outcome.

ok shit brains the stock gst runns low 14's thats when its not gutted and im not stock might be off on my hp but it cant be by much you can call bs all day i see, atleast 3- 4 elises a week. and you think a s2000 can beat my car your foolish go back to your honda sites if you want someone to take your side. oh yeah i pull both those cars off the line by at least a car lenght because they are light they start to pull back up in first but when i shift to second im in full boost and im gone. you apperently have no concept of TORQUE the gst has 198lbs of it that is why i take it off the line not to mention my sticky ass tires............................................. ........................you 2 need to do more research on boosted cars because aprently you have no knowledge of the concept, once they hit boost its all power through the whole band not just after a certain rpm # so i feel im done with this thread it has exhausted itself. besides you two(justasol,black) have not proved anything here as far as technical or concept stand point, just you saying that thats bs and other crap, bring some real info not just opinion.

um, no. the elise runs a full second and a half faster than a GST. 13.5 @102.9mph.

a stock GST runs high 14s-low 15s. sure, a boosted car has torque, but Eclipses weigh around 1000lbs heavier than an Elise. gutting it will save you some weight, but it won't take a second and a half off your stock time. everyone here now knows you're a complete idiot. go put some stickers all over your car. maybe then it'll be fast. RICER!!! :loser:

Torque also plays a factor. Keep in mind the people he may be racing on the street may not be as good a driver as the people from the source :grinno:

this kid has no common sense let him keep rambling on and gst's run 14.4 on average stock im in the 13's and how am i a ricer dumbass i am building a neon and my daily driver is a gst i got fro 900$ i hate hondas yet im a ricer. hahahaha you are funny. why do you keep going with this you are proving nothing to anyone. and when you say "everyone here knows your an idiot an idiot" you have no brain this thread is about hondas having no torque and you keep bring it back to me like your obsessed with me. if you have something usefull to say about the topic of this thread please do, but stop trying to swing from my nuts. im tired of hearing that you do not believe me, personally i dont care what you think. you need to be able to recognize bullshit before you call it. and i see a whole lot on the hondas everyday. im not a ricer, im a dodge fan and when my neon kills my gst ill let you know.hahahahahahaha "RICER", YOU ARE FUNNY

...stop trying to swing from my nuts...

He he, haven't heard that one in a while.

I always thought that someone "swinging from your nuts" would mean that they're hanging on you because they're a big fan of you. Either that, or you just have a ballsack that is the size and shape of an amusement park ride. If so, the GST would require a different driver because it would weigh too much with you in it. Ha ha ha anyway...

I think we all understand that maybe your car isn't stock and the people you smoked were probably all-show and no-go drivers, which negates the potential of their cars. We were simply stating that it is a simple fact that a naturally-aspirated stock Lotus Elise WOULD outpace a stock boosted GST by about a second in the quarter assuming the drivers are both driving them to their fullest potential. That's been proven and is no mystery; it's simple power-to-wieght ratio and gearing. Besides, the Elise is the one of the only production cars that you can buy that is under 2000 lbs, especially in that price and performance category. It might not be a practical car, but it'll sling out 13's in the quarter and break g's in the skidpad that will snap weak neckbones.

Not to mention that they sell complete turbo kits for it now that can push short of 400 hp (just the thought of 400 hp and only 2000 lbs makes my wang go north, but my poop go south at the same time); so if we mention what moderate boost in an Elise will do, you'll definitely need more than a GST to hang with it... more like a Saleen S7 or a McClarren F1 or Stage II Hennessy Viper or a Lickedandfelther 'Vette.

i dont even like the gst. i dont care about the elise or the s2000 or any honda i just dont care. i know what i beat and that is that. i didnt say i can or did beat every car out there just the ones ive encountered, they might have sucked at driving, so be it. i dont care. I DONT EVEN LIKE MY GST thats why im building my new neon. hey sheet check out that list of stuff you asked for in the piston thread. and why are we talking about the elise still are we going to get back to the torque issue or what?
