Thumbs up

Yeah, it can run a low 16 second timeslip if its perfectly tuned and you launch good. Most civics run 16.9's. Get you a 50 shot of nitrous and take out them v6 mustangs!

Yes, most 4 cylinders will fall to the wayside. I (with my S5 and full exhaust, clutch, weight reduction, opened aux. ports) could run with older Trans Ams.

man, v6 mustangs suck *** guy. with a completely stock na fc u should spank a v6 mustang, and most civics. I was watching some show on speedvision, some guy had a newer civic(don't know which motor) and he upgraded fuel rails injectors, intake and exhaust, he dynoed it and it had like only 98 lbs of torque, the worst part is, the stupid guy was super happy with those numbers.

Well watch for those Honda 1.6 DOHC and Acura 1.8 DOHC, also watch those NEONS 2.0L DOHC, 2.5RS Subaru, and probably the Nissan 240 too!

It is not like they are going to rape you in a drag race, but it might be VERY close

Nissan 240's are slow... at least the newer ones.. my buddy has like a 1992 or a 1994 im not sure... And i work him good, its not even funny by how much... I dont even have lsd, and i have the automatic gears (switched it to standard)..and still he has no chance.. althought my streetport probably helps... lol

LOL... i bet i coulda taken a V6 stang when I was running on one rotor.

Now i'm taking down the big boys (V8's) in my N/A

You're '87 N/A has 146 ponies and should easily take down most V6's and I4's.... Dont listen to AbecX, the only stangs beating you will say "GT" or "5.0" on the side...

"Fast" is relative. If all you aspire to beat are cars than run 14 or slower, than you will be happy with an N/A. Otherwise, no.

To me N/As are slow. To the stock Z06s that destroy my T2, I'm sure my car is considered slow to them.

I was talking about the 99+ Mustangs V6's, the older ones had like 140hp

I'm not trying to flame any of you guys, but some of ya'lls claims about beating cars with twice as much hp and torque is just insane.

how do you consider 190hp in the newer mustangs twice as much as 160hp in s5 n/a's???

I think twice as much would be 320hp.
I dont think the 30 extra horses is gonna make up for the weight differance anyways, remember over there in the dualvs.single post when you were saying 20 hp was nothing.
Wtf are you thinking?

again, this kid is stupid, he obviously knows very little or nothing about rx7's. Is it just me or is there a new trend starting for people that don't even own or have a clue about rx7's coming on this forum just to talk ****.

Take a look at your mods list, you have no cats, an intake, and a streetport on a new engine, you should whoop him nicely.

BTW they only had vert 240sx's in 94 in the US. I think 89-93 for 180sx/s13 style, and 95-98 for S14 style.
