My 92 Z28 L98 ran 14.1s with just a Flowmaster muffler and K&N drop-ins on street tires. I'd like to see ANY fwd Honda do that with just a muffler and an air filter.
Since when have 4th gen FBodies been bad on gas? Their T56's have two overdrive gears and get excellent gas milage on the highway. If you beat the piss outta them from stop light to stop light, sure you'll get poor gas milage-- but the same can be said in any car.
I had a 6-speed LT1 1996 Z28/SS with every SLP option and it was slower than my 91 GTA, 92 Z28 and 93 Eclipse. It was also the least reliable car I've ever owned (out of 12 total) I'd take an L98 with a TPIS Mini Ram II over any LT1. L98's had mad torque but little top end power.
-Side note- I've owned 2 second gen FBodies, 5 third gen, and 1 4th gen. I don't have a mullet, I have all my teeth, I don't live in a trailer, I don't wear too many gold chains, I hate louvers, and I don't fit any other outdated FBody stereotype.
The 1/4 mile is 1320ft, not 1420 btw. Unless the Honda wants a running 100ft head start?
Sure, Hondas can be made quick. But I have countless import/sport compact magazines showing various Hondas with full intake and exhaust swaps dynoing some pathetic single digit hp increase. You need to spend mad $$$ to make them fast with turbo kits and/or engine swaps. No thanks.
