build a honda beat a vette

[2poor2tune]

ok me and my friends were talking one day about just hondas and my friend brought up carvettes. i personaly hate vettes for no reason i just do. but we got to talking about how fast they were. he said they were i think 12 sec cars or somwhere around there. i said a honda could take that anyday. he said ya right. i said sure how much do vettes cost. (the zo6) he said i think around 56,000. i siad ok. you could probly build a honda for half the price than that and make it faster. so basicly what i want to know is can you keep it street legal and take it. i think you could but am not quite sure. so if anyone knows of any setups that could take a vette in any honda/acura or videos. let me know im gonna show my friends this post after a while of building it up. and sure you might get more girls from the sporty looks of that car but wait till the race is over. isnt that the main reason for guys to buy that peice of crap car.

C6 Z06 is an 11 second car stock. With minor mods and good driver can dip into 10s. Even if somebody did take a Honda like a CRX with a fully built K20 turbo with spray, suspension and slicks, you would still be hard pressed to give that Z06 with some minor bolt ons (only seems fair right?) a good match. Just think of what a built Z06 with a supercharger would do to that fully built Honda...

What I think he is asking is if it could beat a stock vette, and I would say yes, I cant remember right now where it is but a guy put his list of parts and prices, and his dyno run up, it was a b16SiR 2 motor, fully built no turbo, but sprayed, It had over 300 hp and like 222 tq while on the spray, lots of mods but still cheaper than that shitty chevy

its been done...
99 civic si stock b16 on 10psi and an lsd tyanny... it beat corvetts...but blew up
in about 6 months

I still don't think it would touch a C6 Z06... sorry.

[2poor2tune]

well i mean. can you buy and build a crx for the honda part and made it an 10 sec car. could this be done for the price of the vette. i say it could and it could be alot cheaper. but sure you wont get the looks people say. but i myself would grabe a vette up right away. just to sell it and buy me a 92-95 hatch and build it though. sorry to you vette lovers but i hate them with a passion

quarter mile doesnt really mean shit, you could spend 10 grand, run the same in the quarter, while he can drive away from the track, corner at 1g, and top out at 180+mph.... all while your loading your track queen back on the trailer.

To get a honda into the high 11's, and be reliable and street legal at the same time, you're going to be dumping alot of money into it, almost the price of the vette im sure if not more. And even if you do beat it, the vette's gonna hang stock, with full interior, power steering, a/c, power windows, etc. And if its got some mods.....have fun. Who's gonna be laughing then? I love hondas to the end, but gotta give it up to the muscle cars.

One more thing.

I was witness to a all motor built b18c5 93 hatch with gutted interior vs. a stock late 80's early 90's automatic vette, yes the really ugly ones. The vette won 3 out of 3.

The fox body I believe it is..I was under the impression that a stock crx could take one of those things..?

[Hybrid1990crx]

Fox body? WTF are you on? Thats a mustang, which will also walk a honda.

and no a stock 16 sec crx si is not going to take one.

ok i am going to start off by saying i love Hondas and Chevys with a passion but when it comes down to this issue even if you hate vettes they will kick ass every tiime. yeah a new vette does 60mph in 3.8 seconds. like ur saying and i know what you getting at is take a old stock civic and throw 60 k in it and it will be competitive. totally agree the honda will kick a new vettes (z06) ass in the quarter. but how bout take the same era vette (late 80's) and throwing 60 k in it. you wil easily be pushing over 1000hp, and it is rear wheel drive and wont have to worry about torq steer. yeah this argument can go on forever but look at it this given the same amount of money a v8 will always beat a 4 cylinder. i know a lot of you Honda guys are saying honda honda honda forever but for once come to grips with common sense

[FrodoGT]

Whoa damn..brain disconnected...mustang, what the hell..I hate ford too.

[sblkcamaro70]

ford sucks.
and that is all i have to say about that

[Hybrid1990crx]

fox body mustangs are the shit. i'd probably trade my car for one lol or maybe not.
