The truth about Honda's and more

[OaTmeaL]

Let me try this again because everyone is not understanding what I am trying to say about Hondas. After reading a Super Street mag with the yellow Honda Fit on the front with the K20 (I tihnk) and seeing the timeline of how Honda and Acura have started from the simple days with no aftermarket support then body kits, stickers, and neons to being simple and clean. I see how the body kit days didn't really help Honda or Acura day as a reputation. My only thing I am trying to say is now I understand how people look at them because everyone on here knows they have seen a rice Honda or Acura and didn't look back at it and tried to ignore them. I am not bashing on Hondas or anything but I am just trying to say that now I understand.

[Echonova]

I sense much anger in you, young Skywalker.

No dipshiit, you're wrong again. Maybe this statement falls true for you as you are seemingly weak in the mind, overly conscious of other peoples opinions, and generally incompetent.

wow... so you hate on hondas now? im confused. either way race my 1990 honda :).


ps: a stock z is only moderately cool. i get much more satisfaction making something slow fast. IMO i'd rather say i have a civic with 250 hp, than say a mustang with 250..... see what i'm sayin?

a z is also slow to begin with. what is you perception on fast 15 seconds?

[AnTi-PooN]

is it faster than a 1.5 civic?


are you retarded?

not everyones idea of a fast car is a 7 second supra. some people have realistic goals

[0p7!mu5]

now before you go making those kinda statement and get flammed like Thacker... I agree Honda's get hated on quite a bit but you over generalize. Its like with any car no matter what there will be haters. Honda's being cheap to build are why a lot of people get them and a lot of pep boy ebay ****ers get ****ty parts for them. it goes in cycles. Hell i see the TC goin the same way because everywhere i look there is a damn scion on the road.

Really it isn't the car company but the drivers you seem to really hate. and Hate to break it to you people say the same thing about nissan thanks to the 240 and z owners . Same with Domestics. It's the sterotype we all get. Unfortunately like chicken eating black people more people live up to it than not which make you guys post stuff like this.

[SampaGuy]

I could careless about honda and im a nissan man myself but wtf is this ****?? You should bring your land yacht to the next local autocross and get your ass handed to you by a stock-engined EF

quick to me is 12's, fast is 10's and under, and that is very realistic. i have owned an 11 sec car. so what is your goal? mine is 8 seconds, and that should happen within the next 2 years. i wasnt trying to be a jackass, i was simply saying a stock z isnt fast, does it have potential? yes. but any car can have potential with the right amount of money.:cheers:

I am in not way saying that I am the fastest thing out there because I do know there is one out there somewhere that is faster than me.LMFAO. You're one cocky sunnuvabitch, aren't ya? Surely SOMEONE out there SOMEWHERE is faster than an N/A Z. :rolleyes:

^^^lol omg i thought it was the tt atleast. why even make this thread?

[TK_SON]

finaly sumone said sumthing about 240 driver's . as to the other driver's each their own i have more pressing issue to worry about. like dodgin their nodrivin prepuebesent a$$ .........

[On_Her_Face]

After thinking about it for a long time when I owned my Honda's I started to understand why people left the Honda/Acura scene and went to other cars or just stopped in general. I was just tired of going to meets and seeing guys that had VTEC shirts on that drive a 90 CRX with the stock 1.5 in it claiming sick horsepower with eBay mods. It began to be old because when you stand back and look at it that is why the domestic guys are anyone else at that do not respect or look twice at a Honda. The 90s really screwed it up for Honda's because that was when the body kits were the thing to do.

I just find it funny and can see the other side of it when I am driving my Z because I have not been beat by a Honda even after racing a few S2Ks. I am in not way saying that I am the fastest thing out there because I do know there is one out there somewhere that is faster than me. I know there are fast Honda's on this site and I am not saying anything bad against them because each person his/her own. I just can see the other side because when I drove my Honda I would have nothing but other Honda's look at me and try to race me because they thought because I was clean that I didn't do anything to the motor. When I am driving the Z I see other Z owners and sometimes 240 guys give me the thumbs up about my car and then we drive away. Honda owners hate on other owners because they feel like they have something to prove to other or even domestic guys

so now you got a 300z you are bad ass? like the other z and 240 (:lmfao:) owners..

[TK_SON]

such a roll model....

lol @ the N/A 300zx owner saying hondas suck...go do your research please

ive had two nissans...both 240sx's...one with a sr20, and believe it or not i would take either one of the integras ive owned over them...

[Catnip]

When I had my 95 mustang GT convertible (exhaust, advanced timing, 3.73s), soooooo many hondas tried to race me. Once or twice I got a WS6 try to race me, but nothing like the amount of hondas trying to hand me my ass...


LOL @ their backfiring plans.

see this is what i dont understand. you said that you owned 5 different preludes, and then all of the sudden you have this z and its the greatest thing in the world. i mean if you like your car then you like your car. i love mine and its an automatic accord. but what i dont get is the only answer that you have given me in person and on here is that you hated getting all the hondas trying to race and such, just bc you have a nissan doesnt mean that wont happen, and there are many hondas out there that will surprise you and will rev at you the same. but that doesnt seem like a ligit reason to hate on them, even after all the cars that you have had. and when i go to car meets, everyone has love for their "1.5L" honda, but everyone has their tastes, and budgets. yea i get alot of hondas that try to mess with me, but i get more ppl in cars that will kill me come up and rev at me. such as sti's Evos, and mustangs, but i dont hate on those types of cars bc of the ppl who drive them, i just laugh at how lame it is to try to race someone who they will kill. just dont see any ligit reason behind your "rant"

Wrong cowboy. Again, maybe it was true for you, but don't generalize on a community of car owners. I hate no other car brand owners without reason. Seeing as I consider myself a rationally thinking person, like the majority of car ENTHUSIASTS must be in order to handle such a passion (money, intelligence..it ain't easy building a piece of art, the common sense it requires), and that I drive a Honda. I'd say you are wrong again.

I can point out many occasions where pricks in Subaru's were just that, pricks.

Coming from someone with what it takes to be a car enthusiast to someone that seems to know what he's doing (again, fire accord you got there, haha). You won't see a reason given. He's just gonna make lame ass excuses, there is no excuse for being a fawking idiot though.

i mean i honestly dont care why he hates on hondas so much, but i would think something like "i had 5 motors blow up on me after 120,xxx miles, or everything went wrong with those cars" but i havent heard that. hes saying hondas are lame bc of some of the ppl who drive them, but there are lameasses that drive all sorts of cars. Sh.it i had an old man come up next to me in his lambo 2 days ago and start reving the hell out of it, and all i could do was lol. he didnt look happy either. all im saying is that i dont like certain cars. ex: most 240 owners i see are goddamn retards. they think there car is the **** with all their stickers and drift charms, and most try to mess with every honda but i do know alot that are really nice, with rb25 swaps and such. that doesnt mean im gonna hate on nissans bc of some retarded 240 owners. i still have love for any car that is done right, even if its something that i dont really like. but Oatmeal im sure you have some ligit reasons, and that is your reasons so good luck with the z hopefully it will give you more joy then the hondas.

yeah i completely agree with this. Everyone's goal is not to have a fast car. For the money that I've spent on the Fit, I very well could have picked up a Z, Evo, STI, whatever. Thats not my thing, and frankly I pretty sure I could outhandle a Z when things got twisty. That being said, I love Z's, 240s, and heck, even the occasional Vette.

Good luck with the 300z man, I've seen it and its going to be hot.

I wasn't particularly fond of Hondas originally, but I have to admit after driving a good number of them now that they aren't bad cars.

David are you going to come to the Smyrna meet? I know you are further away now but we haven't seen the Z yet. lol

[Humphrizzle]

quick to me is 12's, fast is 10's and under, and that is very realistic. i have owned an 11 sec car. so what is your goal? mine is 8 seconds, and that should happen within the next 2 years. i wasnt trying to be a jackass, i was simply saying a stock z isnt fast, does it have potential? yes. but any car can have potential with the right amount of money.:cheers:


a straight line means nothing..

really.. it's just stupid to compare a 1/4 mile time as how fast a car is.

I agree, anything under 300 hp is not FAST. I hate when people say their 200 hp 4 cylinder is fast.

And a 300zx isnt fast. might be fun but it's not fast by any means!

[Catnip]

billlllllllay. is right. 0-299hp is weak shiit.

200plus at the wheels in a 2k lb. car can hold it's on typically,mabye not running 11's but don't discredit a car with under 300hp..all about power/weight.

yeahhhh

[Psycho]

billlllllllay. is right. 0-299hp is weak shiit.

so a crx with a H22 pushing 250 at the wheels is not fast...ya

[IndianStig]

so a crx with a H22 pushing 250 at the wheels is not fast...ya

yah it is, all the way untill he spins a bearing and crashes into the side of a mountain simultaneously cause he's trying to keep up with a S/C'd 4.6L or a 5.0.

I see no point in putting a H22 in a damn CRX and ONLY pushing 250 to the wheels, I'm assuming N/A cause why would you stop at 250 if you went FI and why would you pick the H22 in a CRX if you were going FI.

The car would get ****ty MPG, have no handling credibility, and get out run by a bolt-on V8 or a BPU F/I jap import.

Worst example ever. H22 in 4th Gen lude FTW.

[Imadaman]

i was talking about a straight line...i mean you can keep changing words all you want thats fine.the whole conversation was talking about a straight quarter mile,and how anything under 300hp is not fast.almost any 2000 lb car with a good build with 250plus hp is fast.and yes if you are talking about a mountain road i will take my prelude..an F22b 4ws.but that is a completely different conversation.and are you really going to bring up gas mileage?i mean my god,you completely pulled that out of your ass..and yes if i wanted gas mileage i would not build a h22 crx.

i apologize then lol. :cheers: your right i wasn't reading the thread, just came in saw h22 crx and thought, ****ing retarded idea. but while it might be as quick as some other smarter choices, the cost/labor required for such a project is not worth it. much better to get a stang, camaro, mkiii supra or something. although, you seem like you already know that but just was trying to shutup some fanboys.

ya man i feel you,were all good.nice accord btw.and yes if i had the money id pick a supra 100000 to 1 ha.but were all good and a peace rep will be given.ha

k now im sorry but is just stupid to say. some people are into track ( autox) and others are into dragging. it all depends on what the driver and their car are set up to do. for some a straight line means more, to others its more about curves and track times. doesnt mean that just cuz u prefer one over the other you can just discard the other part of racing and say its dumb. you have a nice, and stout car man but dont start bashing on straight line cars.

I would have to disagree. For some cars, automatics are faster than their manual counterparts. I love the automatic tranny in the '07 350z. Since the engine makes all of it's power up higher in the RPM range, the gearing allows me to stay in those higher RPMs longer. I've beaten an '07 six speed with it before.

I believe the automatic Porsche Cayman is the same, though I'm not 100% sure.

Now, of course you can't beat the driving experience you get with a manual transmission though. I would rather drive the MR2 over the 350z any day, just because of fun factor (plus it's getting to be faster now :tongue: ). But if I'm in the mood to just chill-ax and need a comfortable ride I take the Z out.

i agree. another point is that in some cars the auto tranny is ALOT stronger then the manual. at least in my case the 4.0 mustangs come with either a t-5 manual or the 50r50 auto. the new t-5 is a complete piece of ****. the 50r50 is what they use in the GTs too and holds power alot better. i love my auto and between my tuned auto and a tuned 5 speed there isnt much difference if any...

not sure what you mean by tuned 5 speed? you mean built 5 speed and built AND tuned auto?

STRAIGHTLINE SPEED AND POWERHOLDING CAPABILITY (only two advantages of the auto (in general) at 400+whp levels, if lower then auto's get triumphed by a built manual) do not mean everything when choosing a tranny.

A tranny should add to all areas of a cars performance have a good balance of improving the afore mentioned straight line speed and power holding capability as well as in braking and handling. The number one thing a tranny should add to is the heart and soul of the car.

Just throwing this in there but I set that cars suspension up for fun in the curves.(Oatmeals Z I mean, which used to be mine) It may be a heavy beast but just ask dwisforme it can hold its own in some autoX with a good driver. I wanted it to be the Z that nobody expected to dominate mountain roads. The whole RWD thing and having no weight in the back made it harder but hey who doesn't like a good drift every now and then.
