[DSM5]

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" How fast would a GS-R full out even be? Thsi woudl be N/A also.

Its not about building the fastest car for the cheapest amount. Its about doing what you want. I'm not into all-motor to be the fastest around here. I'm doing it because i LIKE all-motor. Some people just don't understand.

I can certainly respect the route you've chosen to go with your car and I'm not detracting from the accomplishment there. BUT, for a lot of us, it IS about building the fastest car for the cheapest amount.

Bottom line, most DSMers want to go faster. Most of us have limited funds (to a greater or lesser extent). Put those two facts together and going faster for less is an important factor for most of us. Hence the use of Home Depot, free mods, and extensive DIY you'll see all over the board.

IMHO, it's part of what makes the whole DSM thing great. Fewer of us are all about slapping on some HKS parts and paying big dollars if we can build it ourselves or make it happen cheaply and effectively.

Heck, where else could Buschur Racing be a name brand with more credibility than Apexi or Greddy but in the DSM world?

Oh, and of course we don't understand your all motor kick. In case you didn't check, you're on a forum of turbo-worshippers.

Overall, it makes perfect sense to me (the standpoint most of us put out there). I'm not trying to make you feel unwelcome or anything as you add a unique viewpoint, but personally I think JMoushon is pretty much right on the mark.

As to the cheap CRX build-up, I have to say I question it a bit. I'd think I'd be seeing a lot more of them out there if it was that easy. I can think of one locally that although quick is definately not up to even a solid 14B powered car's par.
