i was surfing around on the internet and found this fourm called honda haters and had to look at it and as a fello honda lover my self it kinda pissed me off a little lol. you gotta read where he compares hondas over 100 horsepowr per liter N/A, to the american dodge spirit R/T turbo lol 102 HP per liter. but i do agree with the type R badge thing! if its not a type R dont stick type R stickers all over your car its just plain stupid! anyways check it out and let me know what you all think!

Oh man how dumb. In his first paragraph of reasoning, there is a ton of incorrect info. He clearly doesn't have a clue on some things. Oh well just another hater, no big deal.

[matt56]

lol ya i know! I dare anyone to read the whole thing! i did and i was LMAO and shaking my head the whloe time! and he trys to say how you can build a 500HP amarican buick 455 3 times cheaper then a 500HP honda. well all i know is who in hell wants to drive around in a 4000LB Buick GS! i mean come on!! seriously!!!! lol

[etoomey2]

yea I def. agree, a 500hp civic might cost more than a 500hp buick, but it's more unique, and it would walk all over that 2ton hunk of steel. and why did he have that oldsmobile 4-cyl. on there? it didn't prove a point.

[whtteg]

The only Buick I would drive is a GN and that is it!
As for the site, that guy probably got smoked by a 500hp Honda and is venttng through bashing hondas

[electric lime teg]

LOL......sounds like someones holding a grudge, cause they never got that honda they always wanted for Christmas!.....LOL

[matt56]

lol yep he dosen't make very good points! like the part where he says, Ask any Honda or Acura enthusiast which is more powerful, an American V-8 or a Honda engine and he will always say, "Hondas, because they have VTEC lol? what ever and correct me if im wrong and i might be but wasn't honda the first to bring the tecnology of V-TEC before ford and bmw???

[superbluecivicsi]

very disturbed person. This guy needs a history lesson of the automotive industry in the US. he reminds me of a friend i had a while back who clowned on hondas yet has a universal touring wing and altezzas on his mustang.

I finished reading the article and it sounds like someone got molested by their uncle when they were drunk one night. Too much time on their hands. I agree that a 500hp civic is unique compared to a 500hp buick. I choose the civic any day.

I cant stand civics.. but if it was a 500hp accord... ::drool::

[civic542]

yeah that guy needs to do some research cause chevrolet and oldsmoblie were the first preduction cars to use turbos not "chrysler". that guys a frigging idiot.

ok you stick a turbo on a higher displacement v8 engine it is definitly going to pump out more power, which more displacement also means more low end torque.. you can't do that with a 4cyl... it's not possible.. but with a v-6 it is possible.. and guess what... honda is coming to that stage of putting in v-6's like the v-6 in the 6spd accord... and I believe someday deep in my heart that honda will put out a stock turbocharged civic/integra/accord/s2000 someday... and last I knew honda was also making a truck for 2006 with a v-6 and I think an AWD/4x4 drivetrain... anyways which does this guy thinks handles better? I think honda wins in almost every case... those v-8's are HEAVY with a RWD drivetrains which means have fun on the snow and ice.. and a 3500lb car vs a 2500-3000 the smaller car is going to win.. also there is the h22 equiped civic whichy was on the cover of honda tuning magazine running 1/4's at just under 10 seconds.. and guess what??? IT'S N/A!!!! I will not say honda's are the best cars out there. But they definitly have some character, and interesting drivers. I bought my honda not knowing a thing about it's performance, I was just looking for a new car and picked out a 99' accord 5spd over a 98' subaru imprezza 5spd. just for the feel of the throttle, transmission, and overall look and feel for the car. this was coming from driving a domestic vehicle (89 mercury tracer 5spd, which had been through 3 clutches, quality huh?) with the honda? no clutches... also another point he forgot to point out with the larger v-8's is the gearing ratio... because of the torque avaliable in those larger/Heavier v-8's they are allowed to used a reduced gearing ratio... which means you get longer gears.. but are limited by rev ranges to around 7500 rpms.. even with the rev limitation most v-8 will overtake most any 4cyl civic, or integra.. I would seriously tell this guy to go watch the speed channel and take a look at nopi tunervision, and watch the 4cyl drag races.. most of those cars are putting out more than 800 HP some are even over 1000hp.. these are fully built engines.. but don't you think 1000HP out of a 2.2 litre engine is more amazing than a 4.6-5.7 litre putting out 1000hp?

[matt56]

nice post killah xft good info and I totaly agree when your doing the same horsepower with an engine with more then 3 liters less then the v-8 that says alot!!! but cant you make more then a 1000HP out of a full race built 4.7 or 5.7?

[ls1mazda93rx7]

Hey ive had a 99' accord,94' civic and a 95 integra. There great cars, and they mostly do last 200k.But who the hell can afford to put all that money in one.It will not increase the value of the car and you would be throwing your money out the window. Trust me ive been there, and im there now. ive just put a 02 Ls-1 in my 93 Rx7, because that 13btt just dosent last more than 100k normally.this is just my opinion, its not a fact.And yes you could make over 2000hp with a v8, but why do you need that much power.

[matt56]

well i dont know a whole lot about professional drag racing so could a car with 2000HP get enough traction to to use it properly?
