i once raced a vtech and the guy had to actually go into fourth just to catch up ... and the best part was that my truck was all stock it was awesome

You ate a honda?

hondas have all their power on top end...on hondas equipped with vtec, it usually doesn't kick in until around 5200 rpms depending what ur driving. So thats why he was catching you in 4th.. what were u racing? a civic?

my 91 couldnt beat a unicycle....:(....but hey, the ranger and bike are for the "faster" speeds ;). this is a mud truck :)

DOHC Vtech is Slo And Sohc Vtech is like Reverse! lol J/K.. I pwn hondas every chance I get with my Blazer and my TA (So maybe then the econobox pregnate-rollerskate driving misguided souls will get the picture torque>*:))

i still have my honda, but am trading it for a blazer here soon. i got so sick of every freaking person with a 350 or mustang trying to race my ass. i decided if you cant beat them..join them

hahahah!!!! thats just great. but true. ;)

no offense to those with honda's but if its gotta be an import u can't mess with a nissan. i had a 99 nissan maxima that i built and every turbo honda in the world thought they could stand a chance it was too funny but now they want to race my blaze and i look at them and say are u serious ur kidding right they always make me laugh

hondas are quick when they hit vtech in the top end as stated before. my buddy has a 99 civic si with your usaul aftermarket parts(intake header exhaust lighter clutch and flywheel plugs wires ignition) but my 93 t-bird with (plugs wires fuel rail fuel pump) use to keep up with him no problem until he hit vtech, then he was able to pull in front. but yeah a v8 built right will have no prob running against a import that has everything done. even though the import is really light.

I love racing lifted trucks and s-10s

i dunno guys.....after driving the 07 santa fe, im not to impressed by the 4.3:(. The hyundai is quick! but never the less, a hyundai.

although the 4.3 sounds 100% better

I'm not saying I know it all, because I don't, not even close, but some of these posts are starting to bug me a little from their ignorance... All i'm gonna say is, there are nice imports, and to think 4 cylinders are junk blah blah blah typical domestic lover responses is just plain ignorant.

I concur. Ignorance is bliss.

True, that's just the way it is now,it used to be if you drive a Fordthe other 2 domestics are "junk" and vicesa-versa for the moment it still is with pickups. But now with cars it seems to have changed to domesticsor imports,It's just a preference thing I guess. I personally love the reliability, sound,power,ease of finding parts, cheap parts and simplistic design of a good old PUSH-ROD Chevy V8 when I think of performance.

Yeah I surf www.streetfire.net sometimes and it's amazing what people argue about there... A chevy get's slapped by a honda and there's either an argument on how the chevy wasn't even racing, or the honda had a turbo, and the chevy was n/a... blah blah blah... I'm just kind of fed up with this domestic vs import thing...

The fun posts are when people start saying how pushrods are outdated technology...

When OHC was built first, lol

V6 wise, the best sounding one I've heard is the TDOHC... 4 camshafts baby! If only that thing would've had VVT! lol

Yea the import vs Domestic arguement is like beating a dead horse. Most of these honda's that are out there are mostly stock Sohc vehicles with fart can exhausts. All these kids think they are fast and try to race everybody even tho they don't even now know how race. Granted street racing is illegal. (had to throw that out there). It makes me laugh when I read about how people with 4.3L Blazers that are heavy beating on honda's. Now I'm not taking sides because I can care less but I used to have 94 Civic Hatchback with a built 95 GSR motor (b18c1) and I used to slaughter 4.3L s10's (xtremes)and vr6 volkswagens.Granted that my honda was light and worked. So keep this in mind when you say you beat a honda, chances are you beat a stock sohc motor with a child who doesnt know how to drive his car. I give alot of respect to these honda's because a person can take a DOHC motor a get some crazy power of it if done correct. And now with the K serious motors I've seen kids at the track with stock K20 motors in a 95 hatch doing low 12's. But now that I have a Blazer I would never go back to a import. My next project is going to be either a NOVA or if I can find a LS1 trans am. I want something with torque this time. lol..

omg please dont tell me a hyundai is better then a GM......... stock bottom ends are only good for like 250whp........ weakest POS on he planet.

the 4.3L is a strong little motor. im kinda the poster child for its strength. i sprayed 500+ lbs of a 100shot of nitrous through mine, now its turbo'd and sees 10psi daily.... going to 13psi as soon as my meth kit comes in.



from what i have seen- DOMESTIC = Quickest(E.T.) IMPORTS = FASTEST (mph) its kinda hard to compete with the topend of the imports..... 700+ whp civics and CRX's that weigh 2300lbs will RIDE OUT. then you got the 1200+whp supras roaming all over the states......... 1000+ whp Evo's, 700+whp STI's, 600+whp 350z's are all very potent cars..... then the FD RX7's and such........ the make there power very very lofty.........

this goes for the average street guys no the guys who are out to set world records.


but roll racing is the imports specialty.

but roll racing is the imports specialty.



That's generally because the gigantic turbos that they use take forever to spool, lol.

I think I'll go turbo hunting... lol

Hmm. I'm going to challenge my cousin to a Blazer-Corolla duel at the Denton TX drag strip:)

WOW honda bashing
i drive a blazer yes
i drive a 483 WHP 24 psi daily driver civic hatch
oh and its VTEC not VTECH unless you were racing a phone

[sm=Flahssssss.gif]Post a pic.

hey layindoors you have any pics of your hatch motor and setup at all

typical honda bashing... LOL eat it up against the ricers but dont cry the day you get your asses handed to you by 20 bus lengths because your to stupid to know what the other side has for competition

I never said the hyundai was better than my jimmy, I only said it was faster, the interior was nicer, exterior was nicer, it had sport shift......

Sure the hyundai will only go till 80k kms.......

Yeah, I had a '98 Maxima myself. They're very underrated cars. I'm even thinking about buying another one, but this time it will have the 3.5 instead of the 3.0.

I own a Blazer that I love, but I won't bash the ricers either. I like both domestics and imports, 'cause each flavor has it's pros and cons.

man i will beat on honda's forever i just don't like them im getting another maxima soon and i will go back to destroying turboed hondas with fully built h22a's and all that its ok honda lovers nissan is were its at for imports and of course chevy is were its at for domestics!!!!

Another super run on sentence huh? Anyway I just bought a 06 Lancer and I gotta say those new imports got some zip.

hey rabbit0102030, get off my punctuation, dang man and yes, imports do have good zip to them.

I just dropped an exhaust in it, cat and back. Added a true cai, and upgraded the plugs and wires, and kicks even faster now, it doesn't have as great of acceleration as my blaze, but once it hits about 30 you can't catch it after that. It grabs the speed super quick. If I could up the acceleration on it, and add a turbo,I'd say it could probably have given my 5.8 Mustang a decent run. It couldn't beat it of course, but it could stay at a reasonable distance, not a total blowout!

If I were to buy a car I'd like to test drive a celica gt

I took on a civic 5 door and burned him in my stock '96.
It was beautiful. I heard his engine picking up, yet I just watched him as I passed him up.

Wow this thread is still going?????? OMG!!! I just laugh at everybody claiming they beat on honda's....lol... Probably the person you were racing didn't even know you were racing them...lol... I love how people say "A V8 will beat a honda any day"... Hmm lets see v8 versus 4cylnder... Hmmm does that make a it a match up... NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Alot of you honda bashers should go to the track when they have import events and watch these little 4 bangers running 12's or better. You "might" beat a honda but chances are the car you are running against is either just plain stock or the person doesnt know how to drive. BTW street racing is illegal and this site does support it...lol... Just wanted to throw that in there..lol.... Oh yea its vtec NOT VTECH... Its not a phone...

i think its funny that everyone hates honda's, i mean ive beaten many honda's in races but not with my blazer, i beat them with my grand prix, still domestic tho, and i just think its funny how all these guys that drive honda's put these loudbig asspipes on there cars, is that to hold all the rice?

Ok... I thought I had closed this thread a while ago, but I'll definitely do it now.

*CLOSED*
