lol on a lambo? you have to take the engine out of the car to do the clutch. probably take 8-12 hours

Caught the last 40 minutes last night. Seemed pretty decent. I couldn't believe the reaction of the scion girls though, what sore losers. I didn't like the idea of switching times in the challenge though:thumbsdow

Am I completely nuts to say how the hell does this thing run 3.7 seconds from 0-60?


1996 Honda Civic LX 4 Door Sedan

285hp/ 147 lbs torque
V-TEC 2.0L
JDM Integra type R 5-speed manual trans w/ LSD
0-60 mph 3.7 seconds
cornering: 1.04g

A 2007 Corvette Z06 has over 500 horsepower, and does 0-60 in 3.7 :dunno: :rolleyes:

could very well be super light. From the interior camera shots it looks stripped clean. Who knows if the panels are stock or fiberglass/CF, etc.

Stripped clean? My car is more stripped than that even.

He hasnt even removed the platic rear speaker deck or even the door panels (even in the back):dunno:

And you can tell from the above picture, and the one below that the panels are stock.

It doesnt make sence, there must be something missing.

Now that you're analyzing the Civic, I took a look at the Scion and this is gotta be BS!

"185 hp
Torque : 203 lb-ft

Engine:
Intake changed to 2007 Scion tC Injen Short Ram Intake System; replaced standard exhaust with Injen Exhaust System. "

Haha these chicks are worse then ricers. Stock 161hp and 162 lb-ft and it doesn't even have the supercharger kit. That's a gain of 24hp and 41lb-ft from just intake (an SRS at that) and exhaust!?!:nut:

They should have done the Greddy Turbo Kit... 260hp 0-60 5.7 seconds. If the TC was importable, I would put the Greddy turbo kit on.

The show was actually better then I thought it would be, it would be kind of cool to do a run like this.

Definitely, I only mentioned the supercharger because that's a TRD warrantied accessory for the tC; so you'd think that would be a common easy upgrade. But who needs FI at all, with the logic of those two chicks, all they need to add is some stickers and 19" rims and that Scion will be putting 260hp to the wheels!

with the civic, i do beleive they weigh ~1000kg stock, so if it is under that with 285whp thats a bit of power, and the Corvette makes 500 hp at the crank right? and it weighs ~1400kg, much more than the civic.

alright so 500hp at the crank is ~425whp
and i read somewhere that for drag racing ever 100 lbs removed is like adding 15hp so,

1400-1000=400
400*2.2=880 so ~900 so,
9*15=135
285+135=420hp

so yeah i would say thay are close to the same and that that number is not far off, also you must remember that it was probly done at a low elevation, and not here in calgary

but the torque thing would deffenatly come into play and i would say that its a tv show so numbers are probly massaged a bit

Hah, Im not saying your wrong, Im just saying I dont agree - and a 1996 civic sedan weighs 2518lbs and a 2007 corvette z06 weights 3100lbs. The Z06 also does the whole 0-60 in first gear in 3.7 seconds, whereas this civic in question has the stock civic transmission. It doesnt add up - unless this is some sort of "magic" car.

ercchry
03-14-2007, 06:02 PM
haha yeah i didnt look up the weight of the civic, was just going off what a buddy told me that has one, also the quarter mile time i saw for the zo6 was 3.9, but that was the 06 so dont know if they changed anything from then, also the tires would come into play also and yeah i dont know cant trust anything that you read/see when it comes to stats, everyone can make them seem better than they are

Weight ratio guys... you have no idea... my buddy and I did an experiment with our integra's and if you tore out everything in the interior... and turboed it... trust me you'll have a sick fast car!

ya but it doesnt matter if you have 900 hp, with those tires you will never do 3.7 sec.

i just think they asked them how fast your cars are and that guy said 3.7 sec

I never argued that. :dunno: I just disagreed with the result he came up with (I can do math). There are many more factors involved that also prove that Civic is a joke. Like Moe Man said, they probably just asked them how fast the car was, and the two bruthas said 3.7.

ercchry
03-15-2007, 02:45 AM
yeah i know there is lots of factors like, tires, tranny, final gears, gas in the tank, how fat the driver is, the elevation, tons of shit, thats why i sayed that depending on who is testing the car the results will vary

*spoilers*













Man those 2 girls were fucking SORE loosers at the end of the first episode. What did they expect? they drive the slowest car there, show up last, or next to last each time and they thought they were okay?

I dunno i would form an "alliance" with another team to watch out for one another and its just more fun to drive w/ a wingman ;)

I felt really bad that the Rb26 240 blew the motor. I was hoping they would win :)



My money's on the Trans-Am now.




Oh, and LOL at the honda. The dude's name is "Dirty Rice".

I laughed at the cop's excuse for pulling them over. This is what we call "driving while black"

it just shows that you can never be a good driver untill you drive a 500 hp muscle car.:guns:

I caught a glance. Too bad they couldnt swap cars...


Ever wonder how long it takes to reset each challenge? They have to wipe all the glass from the track, reset every light... it must take at least an hour between each run..... and a lot of manpower.

What would make this show more interesting was if Goldberg was in the race too.... I dont know what puporse it shows, but all he does is stand there and throw out his endorsements like a tool.

"TODAYS LEADER BOARD IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SUPER CHARGED MOVIE REDLINE"

"HERE ARE YOUR CASTROL OIL ROAD MAPS"

Because it's really not a very good show.

Goldburg is just annoying, he has absolutely no insight into what happens, he just keeps saying the same tag lines over and over.

"You screwed up"
"you miscalculated"
"you're gone"
"pick it up, or you're outta here"

blahblah blah.

It would be nice if at the end, they showed which route would be faster (e.g. had a bunch of other sweet pace cars that took all the possible main routes)
