How can a car run a 12.57 second QTM at 109 mph ?

looks like realistic numbers to me

What's up with the Sti then runnin a 12.8 at 120 ?

???? is it to slow? I just looked at that honda.. couldn't believe a 2.7 litre can go 500+ hp.. thats about the horsepower i have in my car.. man he must have got all year to work on his car.. where he get the money from is my question lol

actually with 500hp and the light weight it should be in the 10's

yeah no kidding.. i just got that calculated.. shit thats a slow car for a 500 hp

yeah i dont believe this car would run 12 if it had 500 hp, little jap cars are soo light this thing would be smoking with all that horse power

that HP rating is probably over exaggerated.

How is it that a 500+ hp car that weighs half as much as our 3rd gens can only run a 12.57 @ 109 mph is my question..If my camaro had 500+ HP and whatever , I would be down that track in like 12 flat. or better , I don't have all that crap though so I don't know what 500 HP feels like but I imagine it would carry your ass a lot quicker in a rice rocket down a QTM than 12.57 and 109 mph. Sti's have like 350 hP or whatever and they are way light as hell and run 115 - 120 mph at like 12.8. It just doesn't seem logical. Seems like it has 3 hp per pound or so , acceleration should be insane...I don't get it , am I too drunk to understand ? o.O

Youd Be Surprised How Fast These Light Cars Can Go. Espesially A Prelude W/ Vtec

I e-mailed him and told him I was highly interested and wanted pictures XD !!!

nobody is denying the fact, i've seen it personally, but you hafta admit, if it's really 500hp it should be a lot faster than 12's

For so long the prelude was my dream car..then I got one but I was so sad to see her go. A friend of mine bought it , slapped a turbo on it and it dropped on the QTM by almost 2 seconds. I know they haul ass. Stupid lightweight vehicles..who ever made the camaro so heavy in designing should be smacked..Can you image a 2400 pound camaro with 500 HP...mmmm..almost enough to get me off. Just kidding.

That's where I am standing. I included this portion in my e-mail to him "Either you have your information wrong or you are a liar trying to scam people." X_X Was that too harsh ?

Wonderwhy No Picture Tho? Its Probly Some Catch.

I should sell my camaro and invest in a prelude , first $2,700 dollar offer takes =D...Just kidding about the prelude but I am selling my camaro off for like 2700 I guess. too much to deal with I hate newer cars. -_- want a 69.

Probably more like, you bid , offer the 1K deposit , they disappear.. Scam. There is no reason why it should have taken 7 months to build that car either. Most the stuff is like bolt on crap.

you musta erased this but i still got it in email, but anyway, that's just a traction issue there.

yeah i would think its just some sort of b.s... i don't know lets see how it end..

Nope , didn't erase it O.o unless I click lagged somewhere and it caught on delete post O.o But even the STi will burn out from a revved launch.or stall launch , I dunno if they made them in Auto's. Not really for the mini car..more SVX style if gonna go with subaru.

you ever get an email from the guy with pics?

Nope , still waiting.

id like to see this 500 hp prelude...

its on ebay, i do business on ebay and people will say anything to sell anything. believe me ive bought some crappy car parts from liars, but i have had some excellent buys too.

yeah im a little skeptical

you have to take traction, hp, torque, and weight into effect, two cars that run the same ET will not nessesarily run the same MPH, and two cars running the same MPH may not have the same ET.

general rule, lower weight, lower time, faster mph given identical traction

less traction, higher time, lower speed,

high hp low torque, will give high ET and high mph

high torque and low mph will give low ET and low mph

high hp, and high torque will give low ET and high mph

of course all these are assuming identical traction. and weight. so the two different numbers dependent on weight and such are quite beliveable.

oh im skeptical cause its ebay and the guy doesnt have any pictures or anything like that. plus the guy only has two feedback statements from sales and one is negative. i would actually like to see it if the thing really has 500 hp...
