You may not agree, your choice!!
Here it has gauges, radio, two seats, an alternator, no ac (but hell neither do half the swapped civics) has DOT tires, weighs in over 3000 lbs, sheet metal hood, panels, just cause he can afford a $20,000 lenco dont discriminate (since you arent hating lol)

We both realize it for what it is, bobby just doesnt lol and yea mine does pretty damn good with the 3.08s in it...just gotta work out a few little kinks and ill be able to make some trips for sure...drive to SDR, bust bobby's ass drive home :taun:Quote:

you really are a jackass man...that car cant make it much more than a 1/4 mile at a time, there is a huge difference in those cars...ignorance is bliss is what the old saying is i guess...funny thing is that all out race car still isnt as fast as larsons on DRs :lmao:
He has a 3000lb race car, clutches need replaced, engine needs rebuild, all after what 6-7 passes? I remember a video of him saying the motor was hurt on that 6.95 pass..Quote:

LOL, but i'm the dummy...
Rules are bent because people with fat pockets can do that, or because a class crys so much they change the rules to suit them..
Not hating on the guys with sponsor's or big bank rolls, god for bid you think that....Lmao!!
EDIT:
Sorry folks, i was raised around the grass roots racing.. Family raced real Street cars, stock cars, not this bullshit you guys claim it to be, that is the main reason i will not support those dumb ass classes you seem to think are street classes..
Not everyone has a 100,000 dollars to build, as you call it a "STREET CAR", bahahahahah!!
Did ether of you watch the full event? Did you see the big block guys with pump sprayers, spraying the radiators going down the road, stopping to cool off, etc? Naw, its a street car, why would they do that? Hmm guess we do that in street cars huh?
Take me to la la land, damnit man!!
What's next, The world is flat?
Haters gonna hate, and all you are is a hater...no one said anything about stock suspension, and does it hurt your feelings that it still outran that race car with a "hurt engine" and 6 or 7 passes plus the 1200 mile trips in between, better than rebuilding every 2 1/4 mile passes like that civic you posted...o well keep hating :goodjob:
Naw homie, never gonna hate... That's what they do, and can afford... I like my little rice bucket, I'll drive anywhere, get 20+mpg and in 100,000 miles I'll rebuild or buy another Honda motor..Quote:

I'd rather you post about this crap... This I can agree with, being I built 4 cars which competed... More of a true street car!!

All of the Mustang's run high 7's and low 8's in the 1/4. There are tons of them, just go to any Radial Revolution event (there is one in October at SGMP).
You say apples to apples, well, stick to that.
His didn't run - it was a Fix Or Repair Daily, remember?Quote:

I figured they weren't yours but appreciate the answers, im a KOTS fan, and that atomic orange vette is pure sex on wheels. But on a side note have you not seen a guy named matts 1016 whp pump gas vette, or hunters customers 1000+ whp procharged convertible vette? There are some serious cars roaming the streets of ga lolQuote:

notice how almost everyone has stopped posting.... shows how much interest they have in purpose built drag race mustangs :goodjob:
Ya, no one cares.. I mean I do a little, only cause that's what I was raised on.. But really I'd rather have my Honda than a damn Mustang.. GeezzzQuote:

Mosely, I know that you know James' Camaro, and Blake's Camaro. Both of those have run their times on street tires, and are full interior DD's with minor normal mods. As far as I can tell, no Honda in this thread has gone 12.0's on motor and street tires,no matter how high they rev, or hosw much they've cut weight. Your's is the only one that I've seen run decently on the street even.
Just seems like it makes more sense to roll a boulder downhill, rather than push it uphill.
Personal preference is always fine. Doesn't have to make sense to anyone else.Quote:

I posted it because that is their street class, and if you notice they do have tags.. Now, will my car do that, umm no... Does my car have every panel, umm yes, did it run 12 on street tires, umm yes.. But your comparing All Motor cars to boosted V8's, then you come out with Larson...BahahahaQuote:

It's a debate that will go on for years, if we (honda guys)get fastest you (v8 guys) say aww it's because it's stripped and only weighs 2000lbs.. Get real man, I mean I'm not the only one with a Civic CX, they are made to be light from the factory.. I can't help you (v8 guys) picked a 3-4000lb car to mod...LOL
David, he ran 12.9@107Quote:

Not bad for drag radials
Here it's a civic coupe, street class also, note that it has a tag...

you guys are just arguing stuff that doesnt make sense. You cant compare v8 street cars that are RWD to FWD Hondas that have 2.4l and under.
A more ACCURATE comparison would be comparing a 8 second all motor mustang to a 10 second all motor honda civic.
Hondas run 12s pretty easily with few mods. Mustangs run 11s pretty easily with few mods (or even high 10s).
David,
what it takes to own a 10 second ALL MOTOR honda makes it NOT STREET LEGAL i dont care if it has a tag or not. The power it takes to make that kind of ET is in the 280-300whp range, and the car has to be sub 2000 lbs. It usually runs on race gas, 12-13+:1 compression, etc. It has cams that arent that streetable usually, or ITBs, etc. Sure you could drive it on the street, but chances are it has so much money in it, why take the risk.
Im sure there are plenty of semi full interior mustangs running 10s (maybe not on motor) that are much more "streetable".
You are the one complaining that it wasn't fair that bikes weight too little. They are made to be light from the factory.. I can't help you (Civic guys) picked a 2-3000lb car to mod...LOLQuote:

Compare me to most of the other Street Cars that you see out at the meets, line me against those car which are on street tires also.. That is my point here!!
I will not win every race, not saying that, but lets make it somewhat fair!!
EDIT:
Now, put my car on slicks.. 12.4-5 maybe? With a tune-up I'm sure it would go a .3, Moseley and Jones both run low 12's, are they street cars? Hell ya!!!
Could any of us go 11's, I would think so.. Moseley could do it faster than we could, but that's what we have here in Atlanta...:boobies:
It's a stock Honda 4cyl that makes less power than your race car....Quote:

Considering the fastest NA car in GA (that we know of or that shows up to race) is chips car, and if he shows up thats prob a true statement. I dont see anyone else breaking 11s against him all motor. Mose is the closest one, but i dont think he has the chassis prep to get there and i dont think he really wants to do all that work to get there. 12.2 is a far cry from 11.6. I think hes happy with a low 12s all motor car he can truly daily drive. but maybe im wrong.Quote:

Jones can show up but he wont have anything for Chip (no dissrespect but a 12.6 is not going to compete against mose or chip)
I heard the Midnight Auto hatch was for sale by the actual owner of the car. Who says it doesnt get sold or break again......even then have they broken 11s in GA yet?
The guy from Alabama with the white EF hatch thats H2B was knocking on 11.9s last time i saw him few years ago. if hes still around then hes prob the closest threat.
I hope you guys realize when you talk about how bad the georgia all motor scene is (which i disagree with) i hope you are all INCLUDING yourselves in that group. Whp is impressive, but if we are talking track times, no one is really within half a second of chip.
And that is why I posted that... GA is weak, and in the time I've street raced, nothing has changed.. ;)Quote:
