im NOT a big fan of n2o, just b/c people think its liquid hp or something...i did kinda overstate this, but it was to make a point. its a very cheap way to add speed, and it does run out. there are some reasons i think it should be used in some situations tho...like spooling a turbo, or to cool an intake manifold that has a lot of boost going thru it (for example, i saw a 50 shot produce well over 75 hp increase in a vette, just b/c the manifold got so hot from the engine and extra air that went into it).Originally posted by Ctunder Why does the civic had to be w/o n20? Its a mod he payed for and its simply the cheapest way to gain x amount of horsepower.
The import bashing goin on is pretty childish. I personally hate domestics but i feel no reason to bash them. If a person wants to mod a geo prizm to all hell let him its his decision not yours.
Btw i dont drive a civici drive a 240sx w/ a ca18det and w/o n20(or Nawwwss if you like)
maxima's kick ***. hopefully, ill be able to get an infiniti i30 touring 5 speed (luxury equivalent of maximas) here kinda soon, and have 'fun' making it handle like a dream, and pick up a 'little' powerOriginally posted by freddrick I had a mustang GT 4.6 got smoked by a maxima now I drive a honda again and save fifty bucks a month in gas as far as the ricer goes how about a supra that has 1200 horsepower with custom made turbos sure it cost about 200g but it has 1200 hp

1.97? i heard from multiple sources that it was a mere 1.8 seconds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gifOriginally posted by MB-AMG Okay, It's tough for a 2 valve V-8 to match the specific output of a high revving 4 cylinder, but small 4 bangers aren't the way to get big power. Look at John Lingenfelter's Corvettes. These use the "old tech" LS1 and LS6 engines (superb pieces of engineering by GM). I don't know if ayone else caught the test that Motor Trend (or was it Car and Driver?) did on an 830 hp Lingenfelter Vette. How does 0-60 in 1.97 seconds sound? That's without nitrous or special fuel. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Also, how about Porsche? I don't think many people would consider them ricer cars. Lots of tuners make 800+ hp Porsches. The Gemballa GTR750 Evo runs 0-100 in 6.5 seconds on street tires an tops out at 225 mph. Pretty impressive for a fully loaded street car. I bet it hauls A$$ on the track, too. Just something to think about.
