God dammit, I should have asked for sympathy. I swear to God I was in total awwwwwwww. Jaw to the floor hitting my belt buckle. I'd have so loved to see the specs of that setup. Maybe it was supposed to look like a ricer to haul people like me into racing, but anyways, thankfully I was alone. :rice:

Hold on, VTEC with turbo, only 127hp? What, kind of turbo is hooked onto that manifold, one of those little party whistles? btw, there isnt a VTEC under 125 (except for the VTEC-E found in the Civic HX), so a 2hp gain is laughable
We arent talking about a Civic. This is an Accord. I don't know what breed of accord, but if it has two pipes it's a V6 Accord. Possibly the SOHC VTEC model found in in the 98-02s. That alone churns out 200 horsepower. Add good turbo kit, internals, FMIC..etc you'll be around 250-300hp. The non VTEC is good for 170, i'd imagine 240-275hp from turbocharging it. Obviously it's a very good built turbo pushing a lot of boost to kill a Cobra mustang, with 300 torque. And from the story she revved it to redline, so she's using vtec. She couldint have had anything else making her go fast..
I mean, im not a Honda guy, but if you're gonna dispute something, read up on it.
For those who don't know what VTEC is it's a VVT system Varible Valve Timing system. It's a sleeping camshaft activated at high revs. Making more power as you move up in revs, it makes the I4 a very effective powerplant.

Still, a Cobra with a blower, and some internals..hah, that Accord would see nothing but your brakelights. Accords are still FWD, so it's harder, and harder to use that horsepower. So I'd put a cap at 350-400hp, and im being very nice about that figure.
That Accord is a real sleeper. Probably made to look like a ricemobile. You wouldint expect it.
And Jesus god almighty ROTARYROCKET7 end the whoring! two double posts on one page, in one thread.
rx7machine - no problem.

I hate feeling like a jackass. I was street racing a while ago (before I put the rotary in my vw bug) and I had won several modded hondas. I was feeling pretty good about myself, then this kid comes up to me and says he wants to run. I looked at his car....plain old honda civic hatch with the stock exhaust, stock steel 13 inch rims, no stickers, no tint, this thing looked stock but lowered. I was like, OK. We pull up to the line and we both launched hard. i had him by a few car lengths then he screamed by me fast enough to make me want to shat myself. I have never lost a race so bad in my life, including to a 500hp nova! I talked to him afterwards and asked what he had for an engine... Prelude engine (b22) with a 150 shot of nitrous! Open exhaust dumping in the middle of the car, no cats, header, intake with no filter.... Crap! This stupid little beater civic just blew my doors off! That was THE sleeper of all cars. Yea, I went home in awe...
