[del soul]

unless it's a Del Sol VTEC that you drive, there is no way you can smoke Probe GTs

[sageuvagony]

I dont know anything about del sol's but Ive met people who owned one and have told me not to get one only because of how much they break down. How much trouble could they really be? They are basically civics and have like almost the same engine layout and all.

its VTEC but not the kind youre thinking about: its the jdm SOHC VTEC. only 135 stock but i have exhaust, intake, intake manifold and headers AND he sucks at shifting

[GScivic7]

what's the engine code for the motor you have in there?

its a D15b: SOHC VTEC, 135hp

im going call BS! on del soul

[GScivic7]

lol why. It's perfectly possible for him to have a D15B motor in there. The guy that drives the probe must really suck at driving though.

lol @ del slow. they are pretty damn heavy.

[nZero]

Compared to what? Identically equipped, they're heavier than CRXs and 5G Civic Hatch... and roughly the same or lighter than just about everything else Honda made in the 90s.

Now, calling most Hondas fast is another story, heh. Of course the same could be said for Probe GTs

Me and my friends call del sols, del slows too. Just because they're heavier than our cars (his 4dr LX is about 150lbs lighter than the del sols), but they're a lot faster than my car (70hp). Before I got my hatch I was going to get one, there was one at a little dealership down the street for me but it was $6G's so I said no way and got the hatch for 2 (and I needed a car with room for my drum set and the del wasn't going to cut it). But I love the headlights on them, the ones with the circles in the front.

[del soul]

yeah i play the drums too, but when i need to move my set around ill just use my moms kick ass ford windstar

Del Sol's are only about 70lbs heavier than a 5th gen Civic hatch and weigh almost exactly the same as the '99-'00 Civic Si. Del Sol's are only heavier because of the body reinforcement and the steel rollbar due to the targa top. They're not as heavy as people think though - that's a common misconception about Del Sol's.

They're pretty quick though when you do some engine work and are very good for autocross. On the Probe note, I have to put the local Ford Probe's who don't leave me alone in their place where I live as well. I leave the GT's alone though - those are turbo'd from the factory.

Yes, Honda made a SOHC VTEC D15B motor - it's from the JDM though, not the USDM. They came in the '92-'93 Del Sol Si's in Japan I believe and some Civics.
