HONDA VS BIG BAD V8!!!!
I hope the Title got your Attention. Since the Shakes_GT vs Nemo debate. I wanted clear up the air alittle bit. About one thing that got under my skin . Power to weight. The comment was brought up The big bad v8 has 200 more hp so thats alrdy a disadvantage for the honda even if it does weight twice the other car. Becuz that much Hp overcomes weight. Here the scereio:
The 05 Supercharger Mustang GT that has dyno @ 425 tru hp to the wheels, it is Convertible, Automatic and fully loaded and has ran a 1/4 time of 12.5 at SDR with street tires vs Honda Coupe Gutted, 5 speed GSR tranny, Drag radials and since we dont know the true horse power lets say to the wheel 210hp.
So since we alrdy know the true hp of the mustang and the true 1/4 time of the mustang. So now can get a approximate weight by using a online 1/4 mile Calculator. At 425 wheel hp and 12.5 1/4 times. The Mustang weighs app. 4300lbs.
Since I have a friend of mine's whos honda hatch semi gutted weighed 2200lbs with him in it. Im going to say Nemo's fully gutted is 2100lbs with him. And with 210 hp to the wheels he would run approximately 12.5 on perfect conditions.
So with both car at 12.5 in the 1/4. The GT has 425hp and the lil ole honda has 210hp. But the GT has 215 more hp. That can't be right 215hp is so much. But the the GT weight literally twice has much has the Honda. Power to weight. Its too simple. This is what making the import world rock. Light weight cars, Fast high reving engine, and lots of aftermarket support.
Im not goin to call any names. But want to clear up the air. Its was disturbing me. How some doesn't really realize how much weight plays a factor.
