One of my friends always rags on Turbos. Hes pretty mucha little rich kids and thinks "V-tec for life MAING" So I told him V-tec is crap and he wanted to make a wager on it. When his brotehr gets done with a Integra GS-R (w/ v-tec) With all bolt-ons + port polish, the works, he wants to race any "turbo car" that I got. I asked if a friend could do it instead with one of their cars, and he said it doesn't matter because he'll still win. HE said it has to be streetable though(so no, "all out drag cars") He said he would put a grand down saying his bro woudl win.
Someone on here HAS to have a fast DSM. Obviously I wouldn't race for a grand either, unless I was running 9's or soemthing. but even for like a hundred or two, anyone wanna give this a chance. It will be at a track so there will be no BS. I know he'd back down if someone just offered to race him. I jsut thought it was funny how "turbos aren't sh!t, V-tec owns" |

Solid point, Mike. However, the more likely scenario is that the car will run high-mid 14s. High 13s at best, if it a daily driver. On the other hand it could be a well built drag car running in the 10s. If that is the case, and he won't race any "race cars," he's a loser. Bottom line is that if you own a VTEC H o n d a, you have no reason to disrespect turbo cars, nor do you have cause to deny the tractability of the typical turbo powerband. Lastly, I doubt even your rich little friend has $1k to throw around on a whim. Tell him to shut up, stop bench racing, actually get the car running or built or whatever it is HIS BROTHER is doing, and run the car at the track. And by the way, I'll race him. V-Day is this Sunday. Oh wait, the theoretical NA monster does not currently exist. My bad.
