is something wrong with my car?

mannnn hada bad week, i lost to a 96 civic VTEC with headers intake, and exuast, and i lost to a STOCK camaro v6. what the mess is wrong with me?? i drove good, i beat the camaro off the roll, but just barely, then he kicked my ass aff the start, and the civic owned me, even that engine looked like a dam JDM spec. but i mean, should i have one them no problem???? what the hell, i just got 2500 to spend on my car, and i'm looking into a stroker kit, and enlarged valves. well plz help, thanks

you lost to a civic? WTF? our cars can smoke any civic with any swap, shit, Ive beaten civics with turbo kits pushing 7 psi!

You gotta learn how to drive or something.

:swear: You shouldn't be losing to civics. Especially ones that have that little mods. As for the $2500, I'd say go to a racing school and learn how to drive better :naughty:

well the camaro is RWD which I guess is better than FWD from a dig... how many miles on your car... when was the last time you checked your wires and plugs etc... what about 60K tune-up and water pump etc...?

well we just changed the valve seals, we replaced the cams and the seals, could it be that, we did every thing good there, and i'm driving the car really good beleive me. so frigg yall. there has to be something wrong, its not missing the water pump is pretty new. but i think that my alternators fucking up, could it be that??? also my oil is just over the notch, so my oil is over, could that matter??? its not by that much, ummm thats about it i was thinking about spark pluggs or wires. but its not missing, dam i no something wrong, any help, and dont say shit about my driving cuz i'm good enough, wehn i got the car i raced and i never lost, but i jus need to no, plz, peace.

out of all those things you described! none would affect performance! none of that would slow you down. It has to be something else and no offense bro but till you got to a race track and show us some time slips we have no choice but to question your driving, You lost to a Civic man! Ive been on here three years and its the first time any 3000GT losses to a Civic!

well every time the crankshaft turns it gets just the right amount of oil on it from the oil sitting in the pan... when it's over filled, the crank starts whacking against it, and splashing in the oil, so that could effect performance, but not really that much... you should fix that pretty quickly man. Also check and see how many cylinders your running on... other than that I'm stumped

You have a Dohc 3.0 222 hp engine....

The civic with vtech...headers/exhaust and intake ...

You lost....

um...you suck...

I have a sohc stealth auto. This is prolly the slowest of the 3si....I have NO mods...and i have smoked civics...with there fart pipes and all. I mean...im speachless. :eek7:

well the civic could've had a motor swap, I know I guy with a swaped b18a (I think) and he put on cam gears, exhaust, intake, and headers and he's whooped the shit outa a few 3's that I know... it just shows what a lil' HP/Weight ratio can do...

naw, i talked to the guywith the civic today, he has a stroker kit, enlarge vavles, ported intake and heads, the works. his engine is godly, but he beat me by only a car. hes put 10 grand in the engine alone, and thats no bullshit. but i am gonna go practice my launches, more, i no i shift good, but i need work on my launches, peace

also, the stock camaro v6's (later models) have more TQ than 3/S's but about the same amount of horses, so that one was a drivers race, in which you said he beat you off the launch... as for the civic, doesn't that make you feel better knowing that he barely beat you with 10 grand into his motor... mystery solved.
