Ok there is this guy in my town who has like a 2000 model v6 camaro stander shift all stock except for a flowmaster exhaust he wants to race me I have a 87 rx7 n/a with hks exhaust and a intake and all new injectors and all new vacume hoses and gas lines and mine is a standerd shift do you think I can win, if not what can I do to get more hps anything also what are your bets against me and a honda civic the base model no vtec engine all stock

Thanx let me know

 

You will be eaten alive.

The 3.8 Camaros are about as quick as 4.6 Mustangs. That was the joke at the time, that the base model Camaro was quicker than the Mustang GT. I severely doubt that a stock GXL can be nearly that quick...

 

I used to murder both in my 86 N/A. the 3.8 is garbage on the street, I've had 4.3l pickup trucks give me a better run than all of the v6 camaros I've run. And non-vtec hondas are even slower. If you're anywhere near a decent driver you should take them both.

 

I've taken a late 90's V6 F-Body in my ex's Auto prelude. Both autos, both manually shifting, beat him by a fender.

As a side note, I've raced my friends 90 GTU (manual) in the same prelude and was eaten alive.

...that is all...

 

It depends what year civic. I had a CRX for a while. it was nonvtec. i had intake and exhaust. my buddy in his gxl has a lot of bolt-ons. i beat him no problem. And you should have no prob against a v6. there slow.

 

I don't know how i just posdted under that name. But oops.

 

CRX's are actually pretty cool IMO. They are so light and can run lower 16's bone stock which is great for a 1.6L. I've seen a guy with nothing but weight reduction done to it running high 15's. Some of the street ported 12a's be running that much at the track which is pretty sad.

 

I took my CRX to the track the weekend after i got it. I took it to test out how fast it was before i started moding it. It was bone stock and i didn't know how to drive it yet on a horible track. I ran a 15.9.

 

Now just imagine a GSR motor in that car with nothing but intake and exhaust done to it. That's going to be a one reliable 14's daily driver that gets great gas mileage.

I think ricers are giving their own cars bad names...hondas can actually be made pretty quick and more reliably quick than other cars..cough*rx7*cough.

 

cough*true*cough

 

I call a bunch of BS on the low 16's for stock CRX...bc I straight smoked a crx qwith weight reduction and a b16a swap with header intake, short throw, and full ehaust... I have only been beaten by one CRX and that was an H22A turbo charged... and that only ran 14.6... and as for the V6 camarslow...dont worry you could whoop his *** in reverse.... lol.... no ****...

 

,

 

a crx with a turbo h22A sould be running squarely in the thirteens if not the 12's. if it only ran 14.6 it is either horrorendously tuned, has a shity driver, or both.
a freind of mine was running high 13's in a crx with a b16 only modded with a full exhaust, which doest free up that much on those engines anyway..
but i thik youde be about even , maybe a little behind on a v6 camaro. its like 200 hp for late 90's 3800, but those things weigh like 3400-3500. so hes a good bit heavier.

 

That's funny. I killed them in my 92 Honda Prelude Si until I crashed it. Then I bought a 93 Prelude VTEC and whooped them even worse...

 

Are you sure they knew they were racing?

 

I can't remember what model my friend has but he has a vert Camaro (newer of course...somewhere just before 2k I think it was...maybe 2k)), but I know when I checked the numbers it was freaking disgusting. 0-100km in the low 9's (so say 8's) that's the numbers for my Nissan NX1600...that's just not right. But of course it depends on what model they bought I don't remember the power numbers for the car but I remember it being around 160 or so (of course much more tq). Anyway I took the car out and it was some of the worst time I've spend behind the wheel of a vehicle STOOPID SLOW and it was so damn big it was scary! I hope the other guy has a different model, but if not feel free to suck the paint off his car.

 

i've raced a lot of v6 camaros and have yet to loose so i think you'll take him.
