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" ![]() |

For the record, and to back up part of what Travis and Mike have said... It IS all about what you want, or the route you want to take. In my world, I want to go fast for as little $$ as possible. Bottom line. If I was interested in looking good or spending money, I would not pilot a DSM. I too (sorry Mike) doubt the $2k CRX running in the low 13s/high 12s. Adam from Collision Revision has gone a best of 13.5, and that is a 14b CRX, with a B16. Cheap, effective, but far from stomping any DSM with a similar amount of investment. The point here is the "not a race car" thing. Mike, your car is a race car. I've seen it on public highways once in my life. Dan and Kris have street cars. They get miles put on them everyday. My car is far from a race car, it still has a full interior and is my only mode of daily transportation. I have a lot of respect for the SOHC Honduhs, especially when built right, but please practice what you preach and don't speculate on what you COULD do. Instead, have a comparable full weight, $3000 total investment that other car that we shall not name that has a/c and an interior come to V-Day and beat me. That's all I care about, because as I stated, all I care about is going fast for cheap. Much love, Mike.
