However he did have his friend and their two small girlfriends so an extra 400lbs in his car. At that moment the civic WAS faster.
BTW what psi are you running and do you have any dyno #s. I will be very interested to see what you run in the 1/4. I am not trying to be an *** and flame your car because I respect what you have done to it. I am just really curious as to how a auto performs

from the driver and passenger so they respected my car. I am sorry that you have an auto you sould really swap that would = more hp for $ than a turbo.

Rep Power: 0 stock ex whp is actually closer to 109, if u want to prove u have 130whp then go dyno ur car (i assure u u will be disappointed), link me to a story of a NA 5 speed beating a boosted auto, and do me a favor, go get 3 ppl, put them in ur car, then try to race that bmw and tell me after that that the extra weight doesnt make a difference. thnx.

Rep Power: 0 ^^^ you said it.
bogetz can you beet a stock rsx i can allday long. your a funny person you make me laugh with your ricer mentality.
i read the forums about 5 times a day and these arnt the only car forums that i read. never not once have i heard about bolt ons beeting a turboed car unless the turbo guy could just not drive whatsoever and his tranny fell out of his car into a million peices during the race

^^^^beat not beet. I never said that the weight of the BMW was not an issue. I never said that I could beat your car. If I raced a auto that is putting down 140whp I would win so you had better have a bit more than 140whp. I will admit that it may be close in a straight line race, but as soon as we would hit a few corners my 5spd would win over an auto. I don't have a ricer mentality, I have not made any false statements. I am just being reasonable

Rep Power: 0 first im dislexic so stop correcting my spelling.
if you think its eazy to drive an auto with a turbo your mistaken. we dont just stomp on the gas. honestly you need to do more reading seeing as how your mistaken on turboed autos. a properly tuned auto will not be only putting down 140hp on 5psi maybe actual whp but then again with your bolt ons your not putting down 130actual whp.
btw drag and auto x are 2 different things and require 2 differnt car set ups. i dont think any one on here with a turbo are making it for taking turns they are building it for a strate line. having a tuboed civic in an auto x event would be dumb due to they would get there butt handed to them due to it puts them in a different class.
and another thing why would your stock suspenson set up be better then an autos stock suspenson set up they are the exact same taking normal curvs. and if your talking about an auto x event guess what a turbo is putting down more tq then your bolt ons so i really dont think you would be able to take one.
o ya i forgot to mencon i have an sf kit not a dezoid sf has shown to put down more hp for the psi setting then the dezoid kit althow the dezoid kit is better in the long run due to better quality. its not much but if i remeber correctly its a 10-15hp differance.
