The guy with the Prelude actually did the turbo kit on my car. I've seen his car many times. I saw it when it was yellow and saw it with the new paint job.

The Civic is always apart. He blew his 3rd gear, then he took the motor out to paint the engine bay black, etc. We're not GOOD friends, we just know each other.

His Prelude and the Civic would kill that tC. Plus, it looks kinda slow. Didn't pull that hard. The Civic has 500WHP, yes, but is also 900 lbs lighter. You do the math...

The ZR1 has 620 HP and 598 TQ at the crank. The Prelude guy has over 650WHP/WTQ and is probably lighter. I don't know his exact power numbers, but judging by that old dyno, it's well over that.

ACTUALLY he can get almost the same gas mileage as long as he doesn't hit boost. when does boost kick in btw?

Those are very nice numbers and probably a nice car. I just drool over a ZR1 every time I see it. I'd take a Vette over any car, especially the ZR1.

No idea, it's a huge turbo, so maybe 4000RPM. He's running a T-60 I think, but it's a custom one, true ported, etc. He doesn't say much about his set up. Has 2 HKS BOVs, hahaha.

Is the ZR1 even out yet? There's a guy with a brand new ZO6 in the neighborhood and if that's not enough, he has another Corvette that's like 4 years older. Nice Corvettes. I wouldn't be surprised if he got the ZR1.

and just because he has the car, doesn't mean it is always out, or on the road or whatever. if my uncle told me he had a silver anniversary corvette, i would have never believed him because i've never seen him drive anything other than a tractor and his pick up truck, but sure enough helping him move years ago, low and behold buried in his garage under a car cover and many boxes, a 25th anniversary corvette, he just never drives it. lol.

SWEET CAR! LOL, plus these cars have so much power, it wouldn't be wise to drive them all the time. The Prelude guy also has a Jeep, which is good since we live in CO. Not sure about the Civic guy. Don't know him that well as the Prelude guy.

20tCDude05

But, yea, you guys still think I am a BS'er?

The sad thing about our cars is that it would take at least DOUBLE the money he spent on that engine to make our tCs that powerful.

my friend has a laser that has 450 to the wheels and i thought it was fast =|




fully built bottom end and p&p top, nothing special but it is around this area, you dont find many quick cars around west virginia haha.

A Laser???? LOL

aen

a laser gets laughed at?

HAH.

anyways..

we didn't doubt it because we didn't believe you, we doubted it because you ran around saying:

oh yea?! race my 721387123812783WHP prelude buddy

oh, laser = dsm.

aen

then get a goddamn prelude. don't you think we know that by now? im pretty sure alot of us have relized how mch it costs to make a tc fast.

20tCDude05

Not into the VTECs. Plus, that's his thing, not gonna copy him. What's with the attitude?

aen

my bad, im just frustrated...sorry man.

20tCDude05

It's cool man, what you frustrated about? I'm here for ya man, you're part of the brotherhood! LOL

draxcaliber

neil, he isn't talking about a laser, like the beam of light or a space age weapon, he is probably talking about the plymouth laser, which was a rebadged mitsubishi eclipse. it is what you call a captive import. while plymouth is lame, the AWD turbo versions would be considered pretty cool...

aen

LOL

check it =(
