Honestly I was unaware that you didn't respect the RSX for entering the street tire class. I am also a bit surprised as it's what the car was built for, how it is driven and really exactly where it should have been placed to compete. True the car does outpower the other cars in the class but it outweighs them by FAR too. Also due to the amount of power it makes it is harder for it to hook therefore giving the lighter lower powered cars quite an advantage out of the hole.
Keep in mind that the pro class was won by a car that got off the line better and ultimately held off the higher trapping car all the way down the track. More power doesn't ensure a win and neither does what a car has run before you race to see who wins and thats why you race...just like in football..."On any given Sunday..."
Thank you.
I can empathize with you here as I too struggle with whether the modifications that would make my car do better at the dragstrip would be worth the pricetag in term of compromises to drive the car regularly on the street.
Well I look at it this way. There are many different classes to compete in and just because the barriers I am choosing to knock down don't align with yours doesn't mean I am ANY less competitive than you and certainly doesn't make me more conservative than you in regards to my goals and what this car is doing and will do. The reasons I go to the track are the exact same as yours, to get better, to improve and measure my times, to have marked results and to go faster than anyone else...To Win. I can understand and appreciate that you wish the All Motor Comp class to be bigger and that you want to see the number of enthusiasts and competitors grow. I want to see that too, we are both doing that very thing though and in not too different of ways. You do what you can to rally people together, help them and instill the sense of community. I feel I have shown people a fairly clear path on whats possible out of a K series and that it doesn't necessarily take a chopped up EG to be fast(despite if that is truly is the smartest most cost effective route) it can be done many different ways.
The game may be stagnate right now but that's not a fault that rides on mine nor your shoulders. I know I will be doing things to do better and go faster and I can feel pretty safe in saying that you are doing the same. I know I won't be doing the same shit every year or running the same times and I know you won't be either.
What the fuck does the political disposition of a state have to do with anything here?
All in all Stretch I do get what your saying and I can agree that Ga is behind though I feel it's because we have yet to fully embrace the K series. Untill there are more wanting to really compete and until there are more K setups we will continue to be behind in the race game. How much quicker did the winner of the All motor comp run than the winner of the All motor class? What was the difference in the traps? Can you really then accuse Twisted Loop of not pushing limits or breaking barriers if it placed those clases closer together? Should it be that close?
Don't get me wrong at all Stretch I like you, really have appreciated your help and respect what you are doing but shouldn't it be me asking for more from you instead of you implying more is needed from me? I just want to see a Midnight K swapped car doing low 11s like an All motor comp car should.![]()

It doesn't take a K to go mid to low 11s, and u say until people have more ksetups, K is not the only way to go fast or be competitive, its when people actually take the time and money to make the scene grow as it should, but until then the same cars will be running the same times every year

You're right you don't need a K to go low 11s it can be done with even the d series. You're wrong about the masses not needing to embrace the K though. Sure there are other setups that could compete and win and sure not everyone needs to do the same things the same way. However until there are more setups with Ks and until there are more people doing things with K motors we(Ga) will still be behind when compared to the rest of the country. It's been brought up before...who is winning the big all motor races and what are there setups? There might be one or two oddballs out there with an F2K or an H2B but the rest are Ks.
There is no reason an Rsx should have won an All motor event and there is no reason the comp class should have been filled with 12 second cars. Stretch is right we are behind and it's not only due to that most are guilty of not spending the time and money it's also because they are trying to compete with inferior technology.

Imma build an NA k series now![]()
1990 Mustang Coupe...turbo lq4 through the glide
i get what ur saying about Ks dominating the all motor field in competition, but im talking about in GA only, we have a few 12second cars and hardly any 11sec cars, having a consistent outing for all motor cars here in GA doesnt take a kseries, we arent trying to go 9s all motor, shit we cant even do that with boosted cars, we are just trying to compete. and well until some1 shows GA what can be done in GA people will still be scared to try new things out of there comfort zone and stick to 200hp race cars. and whats wrong with an RSX winning an all motor event? ur car won and allmotor street class, u cant compare street tires to slicks on a fwd car period. so ur rsx winning was expected with the highest HP K in GA. now if u would have lost GA would of been in trouble lol

well first of all matt the car that won the all motor comp wasnt a k series its actually an stock h2b with cams..... secondly, my comments about the competitiveness and ga falling behind was not aimed at u so dont take it that way. wat i did say is that YOU explained to ME that u are going for the all motor street tire RSX title (which i didnt know before), and i went on to say well if thats wat ur doing well i commend u and if we can help in the process we will be more than happy to help u guys. i praise ur car, ur setup and the people behind the construction n tuning of the car all the time thats no secret.
wat i will continue to say is that ga lacks competitiveness in the import scene and refuse to do things right and how they can and should be done. rather they do the coventional thing thaat everyone else does(stock motor , basemap...ohh im fast) and run 14s all day... im not bashing anyone, but when i do something (anything) i do to the best of my ability n try to get the most out of wat im doing. Look we just went to NY for a week to fix and tune cars, and came back with a record of 10.6@129mph(all motor k24) with morris driving. for a set of people who are not sponsored that is pretty darn impressive.
all in all, hurry and break the damn record so u can put some real tires on that turd and come out to play with the big dogs (GREGG with his ROTREX)....lololololollolol....
amd moseley drove the car good that day, couldnt hook for shit but he drove the perfect final race to win the trophy, cause if he had went all out in the beginning he wouldve spun and luis dont miss gears, he drives like a robot, same way everytime (yea he can shift his ass off...lol)
Honestly though I should have lost. Highest hp or not an Rsx is a far from ideal chassis for drag racing and the cars setup was far from ideal for putting down a good e.t. on street tires or slicks. You're actually proving my point by talking about 200hp race cars and people being unwilling to step out of their comfort zone. Until Ga embraces the K until there are more people doing things with the K we will continue to be behind and to run the same 12 second times.

Matt honda should sponsor u cause ur K series campaign is even stronger than GREGGS.....hahahahahahahahahaha
Oh, I know what car won the all motor comp and I know it wasn't a K series. My point was if it there was a properly setup K series car in the comp class then it wouldn't have made a 12 second pass. Then the times between the All Motor Class and the All Motor Comp wouldn't have been so close. Your example of your record 10.6 @ 129 further reinforces this. I do agree with what you're saying though but until more people are building Ks and more is done with that platform locally there won't be much of a change in the competition.
To my knowledge I am the quickest/fastest all motor Rsx on street tires. There is the Kmod rsx that currently has a quicker E.T. but with a lower trap but that car is in slicks, is lighter and has a setup that is more conducive for drag racing. Right now I am ok with that. Maybe sometime next year the car will see slicks I dunno but what I do know is that I won't need slicks for greg in that Cr-x. I will happy run him with me on street tires from a dig and let him read my new custom tag.![]()

not to make excuses but that car has a gsr tranny with an open diff, and the track was shitty, so it did great in my opinion for wat it had but that car is in the 11s with a b16 with a 4.7 final easily.....trust me...... but since u crossed that hurdle of being the fastest rsx on street tires, u should come by lets help u get that suspension into drag mode, putthe car on a diet, bolt some slicks to that white bitch and watch her go......lmaoooooo....congrats on the new record by the way, good job

Sport Compact car is dieing, nothing you can do about it.
The young people coming up right now who are supposed to replace the old generation moving on , are more obsessed with crazy camber than going fast.
its been on decline for a long time, it wont change anytime soon. Especially when kids like Gregg build shit cars that blow the fuck up and never run.

It is always nice to have vteckidd's positive outlook on things...
im such a negative nancy LOL
Lets be honest theres very few people doing what you , matt, chunky, stover, emmino, stretch, etc are doing. Not just building cars, but building cars to go race at the street or track. Its just not popular. Hasnt been in a LONG TIME. Nothing is changing that. Go ask any mechanic at any "HONDA" Shop. The kids dont want to spend money, they dont want to build quality cars, they dont have any money, and they dont want to listen to anyone that may know something. the guys that DO want to spend money usually get ripped off from the shop because they are so used to building cars for kids with no money that when a WHALE comes along they have to take them for everything they have to BREAK EVEN.
What killed the import scene was its popularity, which lead to the decline of anyone having a single original thought in their head, and if they did, they wanted to achieve that dream on the scarcest budget as possible.
RIP import racing, you were cool in 98-2005
