ok...time for me to make some random as hell honda racing story
I'll actually make it true too
One time I needed to wash my moms geo, a 94 geo prizim, champine (gold) with the impressive 1.2 I4 . Well it was me and DMC12 crusing around in the mom mobile, when I get to a light next to some 80's 4 door civic. I look at him, he looks back. Hes got the painted interior, crapp-a-lishious rims, cut springs, fart can, and "powered by mexican" sticker. Well, I thow a rev, and to my suprise he throws one back. So I drop it in gear, the light turns and were off...and let me tell you what, that was the SLOWEST race I was ever in. I took it up to redline at 6.2 (I cant rember, and too lazy to go outside and check) and shifted to second (automatic bty) he was tearin it up trying to catch me, but I made it to the next light with about a car length between us. I WON! YAY ME!
ok....anyone who wants to feel free to flame the story, it was my moms geo and I won, it was fun if not feeling like I coulda run faster. And if it was a stock civic it shoulda won, but this was like, negative, as in worse than stock.

I was waiting for a cop to pull me over
"whats wrong officer?"
"why were you going so slow...the speed limit is 40"
"I wasnt aware, i'll try to push it harder next time"
"thats mighty fine" :bloated:

Two words. Post Whore!
I would think a geo would be the ultimate sleeper. Consider this, if you replaced the engine/tranny in the geo with a Quad 4, and put another quad 4 in the back, you would have a nearly 5 liter 1900-2200 lb car, AWD, about 360hp, even more blown! Consider the possibilities... Imagine the look on buddy Corvette owners face!

They actually did something like this with a hyundai tiburon. Not exactly sure what kind of motors they were, but there was one in the front, one in the back, each motor was controlled by it's own tranny, and it was pushing close to 700 horsepower. When the burnout competition came, the guy put one tranny in drive, one in reverse, and just stomped on it, so it was like the two motors were pulling the car in two different directions, it was awesome. The burnout marks afterwards looked like a crop circle straight out of the movie Signs, it was amazing.

I heard of something like that, I saw a tuiburon worked over so that lil engine made 700 hp itself, pretty badass.

The only problem is that the frame wouldnt be able to keep from buckling under such a hard launch. Now cars like miatas are another story...

the tiburon had the stock engine in front, modifed to handle the boost and run on nitromethane. In the rear it had an inline 4 sesna engine, (yeah those little planes) that was turbto too and also ran on nitromethane. I dont remember what article or magazine but I think it was sport compact magazine in one of those ultimate sport compact challenge not exactly sure though
