Posted By: G Stone Modded Civic Meet My 24 Valve - 03/22/06 05:40 AM
My car has beat lets see...nothing worth gloating about until now. About 2 weeks ago I raced a modded mid 90's Honda Civic 5-speed, 4-cyl. Some of the mods were cold-air intake and exhaust. I think thats it anyway. Right from the start I took him with some brake tourquing and only gained on him after that. He is a very good driver so I know it wasn't from lack of experience that I won. He later told me with a smirk, "You got that V6 24valve, thats why you won." This might not be much, but for an 11 year old car prolly near the end of its days, it was a day the sun shinned on my baby.

Of course. Anything else would be against my morals and religious beliefs.

Yes, that is very true. If I had to bet on it before it happened I wouldn't have put money on me.

And I would hope you'd respond with a pimp slap across his face with a "well no sh!t Sherlock."

He pulled out the ricer excuse. Nonetheless, good kill.

Sweeet. You beat some mid 90s civic with intake and exhaust. Let us know when you beat a yugo, geo, or ups truck. I heard those are all pretty quick too!

I'll ask you. I'm sure you've raced some in your Zetec, too bad you prolly lost. Sorry, I'm paying for college, don't have enough money for a 200hp car.

Umm yeah...

Dude, even a stock svt is slow. (and I bet my svt cost less than your car!)

I wasn't critizing your car.


I guess want you want to hear is Great job! But a slow car beat another slow car. Really not exciting.

Yea exactly. A slow car beat another slow car but this slow car hasn't had a beat another slow car that looks fast in a long time. Thats why I posted. I know my car isn't fast, don't take that as bragging. I seriously doubt you paid less for your SVT than my car. I paid $1000. Newho, glad we got things straightened out. I thought stock SVT's were atleast kinda fast.

no, you're taking that all wrong pete. i'm defending that kid who raced the honda. kramit is bitching about how boring it is to read about slow drag races, but this isn't a corvette forum or something... it's a contour forum. and there are only a handful of these cars running faster than 14 second quarter mile times... so stories like these will be the norm, and kremit shouldn't complain about them. if you want to read about crazy fast cars, go elsewhere!

fwiw, i loved my csvt. but i bought it knowing full well it wasn't ever going to be a "fast" car. just a quick one that was a blast to drive.

Yes this is a contour forum but i do have an interesting story of a race with my car and yes it was on a track.

I am not sure if its because of his driving but i recently beat a turbo'd Jetta running 21 PSI. He also had exhaust, intake, and a custom tuned chip.

I have a stock SVT, soon to put headers, intake, and exhaust just waiting to install.

I dont know about what you guys think but i was pretty happy to have beaten him.

What do you all think?

I think what the guy meant to say was, he had 21psi in his tires.

It was an automatic and he didn't build that 21 psi til he hit 7k rpms rignt?!

No, they are slow, anyone who thinks their 2.5 SVT is fast is an idiot.

The only fast contours are 3L's and FI'd (or sprayed but thats ish FI)

i wouldn't even consider a 3L fast. here's how i break it down...
14's and low 15's is quick. high 13's and low 14's is very quick. high 12's and low 13's is fast. high 11's and low 12's is very fast. high 10's and low 11's are wicked (on the street). everything faster is just plain sick.

True.

Really I wouldn't expect to hear any my car beat 'x' car except from the 14 second and under crowd on here. I was just saying the rest is boring and we all could post my car beat this and this car all day long. Contours aren't really drag cars anyways.

i only consider a 3L fast when it has supporting mods, that is headers, catback, new MAF, New TB, etc.

And yea im with you, but i think anything over 13's is VERY fast, anything thats mid 12's and down is pretty sick.

And we're still slow for the most part. Even with the juice, I'm just "kinda fast."

your in the 13's right?

I know Owen who is running a 2.5L SVT with y-pipe and catback, P/S Alternator pullies, and some other junk is running like 14.0 flat with a 100 wet shot.

I haven't technically hit 13's yet. With 10 less WHP and 5 less WTQ, I did 14.4 @ 96 N/A. I'd like to think I can hit low 13's, maybe even a 12.9 with a 100-125 shot. We'll see what I end up doing.

Well, what does Demon have for a 1/4 miles speed? VERY low 13's....didn't you just say that speed is fast? And didn't you say who thinks their svt is fast is an idiot?

Demon no spray...and to the kid telling us he beat a jetta boosting 21 psi...you aren't impressing us...
Posted By: Kremithefrog Re: Modded Civic Meet My 24 Valve - 03/25/06 11:15 PM
I'm impressed... impressed that the jetta owner could find a turbo small enough to not have enough power @ 21 psi to beat a contour.
