SC GSR and camaros

Well, i dont race often, or post often but i figured i took the integra out the other day for a while and got a little action. First off, i have to reconnect my battery and pop start it every time i want to take it out, because for some reason my alarm is going off and i cant get it to stop. I'm an idiot yes i know, but i drive a tacoma daily so im not in a rush to get this fixed until i seriously start tuning my car. As of right now, im running 6psi, stock timing -1 degree for every lb of boost via a JR BTC, and a sp2 (2.36") exhaust. I was cruising down a 2 lane road with a lot of straights and stop lights. I was cruising about 35 just chilling and 2 burbling camaros cruise by me, the first one even nodded when i looked over. I'm not sure of the year's but one of them had 2.8 FI written on the back, and the other was probably a couple years newer. Both were obviously slightly modded, with dual straight pipes coming from the back, and a nice loopy idles. Anyways, one of them cuts in front of me and they both catch a redlight with me right behind them. They both let out some nice growls so i figure why not toss out a rev. My revs went up faster then i thought they would and i let out like an 8000 rpm rip, and i hear, in a dumbass sounding voice "did i hear a dirtbike?? hyuck hyuck hyuck" At this point i knew it was time for me to snuff these guys out a little. Light turns green and they just take off kind of slow, up to about 40, then they both punch it. I follow suit, hit 65 in second, shift into third, bring it up to about 90ish, and then i thank god this guy didnt decide to hit his brakes, because i was inches from his bumper. He then looks in his rearview and has the most shocked look on his face. I was satified, so i tossed him a little cocky wave, and turned off. Nothing pisses me off more than some ignorant person pigeon-holeing me because i dont have a v8, i hope i get to see them later on this week, cause i got a 4-1 header, 2.5" test pipe, and an AEM short ram on the way.... fools

Nice, but as being discussed in a different thread, don't follow someone's ass real close just b/c they're being a prick. If he would have hit the brakes it would have been your fault end of story. And once agian, import sport car + young driver = high insurance. Add a crash that is your fault on top and your looking at a fat insurane bill.

Mabey he will think twice about picking on another "dirtbike" in the future.

agreed

If he had a 2.8 I really don't think you were hearing "nice loopy idles" from a v8.

good kills... kinda

Definetly man, especially since we were going about 90 in the end. I wish there was another lane so i could've just passed them.

Oh yeah i definetly feel that, the loopy idle i was hearing couldve been from the camaro directly in front of me. Not the one diagonally from me, i should've specified more. Also, there couldve been an engine swap done on the one diagonally from me, otherwise that 2.8 moved pretty good. I wish i knew more about these cars so i could specify more about them.

LOL if you had trouble keeping up with a 2.8 liter V6 camaro it is time to sell your GS-R, cause those cars are dog slow. I'm sure he had some sort of swap though. It's either that or a tuning issue.

haha, i agree. but, im pretty sure it was a swap, most likely a cammed 305 from the sound of it. Also, i wasnt behind the one bagged "2.8 FI" i was behind another one, i didn't notice any badging, just 2 strait pipes coming from underneath the bumper.

Ha, true, I saw a 2.8 Camaro get beat by an 89' corolla. :lol:

were they third gens like mine? and what is your 1/4 mile?

Please don't try to start something.

GOOD KILL!

I hate when people do that too...but I love beating them that much more then!

ya, show them you're not as low level as them and be humble, its the way to be bro

and.....nice gsr, i've always loved the ITR and GSR, but i think the RS and GS guys make the integra look bad (i think i've said this before) anyways, shouldn't the camaro guys hear your SC whine? or does a SC only whine whilst the car is in motion? and nice vid

Dang, I knew they were slow, but not that slow :lol:

I'm almost positive they were both third gens, they both had appearance work done to them so they looked a little different. My quarter mile before i sc'ed was 15.2 @ 93. When i was in that state i actually had a friend with a 305 firebird, with some slight mods done to it. This is it's cardomain http://www.cardomain.com/ride/440171 if you're interested. We raced three times, and i pulled about half a car each time.

Well, i have the stock airbox on, and im only boosting 6psi, so it's very hard to hear my sc, even under hard acceleration.
