As a 21 year old college student most of my peers have a hard time understanding why I think my 85 hp 30 yr old car is so fun. Usually I get the question, “Okay, It seems like you can make a lot of upgrades to this car, If you did that how fast would it be” I usually answer with a stutter, uh uh I dunno. So, with a 200 hp six and moderately stiff suspension, what kind of numbers do you guys have? It would be very interesting to see some braking stats, 0-60, some form of slalom, anything. I’m also wondering if the guys out there with 300 to 400hp or getting that much more for performance.

I never get burned on the straights...
I've raced one car with my car... That was a 85 or so crx piece of crap that I passed because he was going slow. As I was passing him, I realized that he was accelerating as well. but I passed him/ beat him none the less. That was with my 4 cylander and my best friend in the car... and I wasnt floored... lol I can now do very low 12's, and possibly 11's 1/4 mile. No one has dared challenge me. (at least, not that I know of... they get left in the dust before they knew what hit them... lol... seriously...) |
