Must be trying to resurrect the oldest thread on the forum or something

 

If your wheels are reciprocating... you have a huge problem...

going on 8 yrs... wow

 

sorry guys, i used google to search the forum and found this thread (i have a related problem. trying to figure out why my n/a is so slow up top).

i actually got in trouble for resurrecting this without having anything useful to say : s

 

turns out 110hp was "fast as ****" in 02

 

This thread amused me. Both the age and the question in general are funny. Let's see: tiny displacement with no power adders. You could build a pure race rotary and still not be much above 240 rwhp. Why is it so surprising that it's slow?

Disclaimer: I'm well aware you can gut the crap out of just about anything and with enough tire and suspension you'll get around an autocross in a hurry... However that clearly wasn't the spirit of the question for the OP or the guy who resurrected it.

Now if you think a car is running WRONG that's a different issue but now we're just talking degrees of slowness.

 

my car is running wrong. i have no mods and its much much much slower than my 86 gxl was. im going to start a different thread for my questions tho, rather than use this one lol.

the only reason i posted my initial comment was cuz i read through the whole thread and found it funny how certain the guy was and how he wanted to prove everyone else wrong. like, "ill show u proof! ill show u all!" and then the thread just stopped lol.

 

i would start with getting rid of anything chrome on your car. esp the wheels.. makes world of a diff.

 

+1. Was a good laugh though. I was halfway thru the 2nd page before I realized it was 8 years dead. I had been going to post that anyone who thought they had a "fast as ****" NA has yet to have his dignity shredded by being smoked by a girl in a v6 automatic Mustang at a stoplight on her way to work...

 

Gutted base N/A...

8 years later... Now my E85 T2 is "FAF"

 

DAMN old thread!
