This is embarasing,but a kill is a kill......

[Danny Shamblin]

Well I hate to say it but I got beat by a F*****G Honda,Ya thats right a Honda.It was a 4 door Accord(94-97).I saw it at a light and decided to mess with itn I figured an easy kill.WRONG!I had a bad star at a roll from 40 so I figured it was my fault ,heck it was only a car length.So I tried again this time it was perfect,but to my surprise the same thing happened.My window was down so I didn't hear a blower.I had him roll his window down and asked him what he had in it.I couldn't hear him too well but he said something about an engine swap.I couldn't hear what kind(well worth it I guess).I was embarrased though.I've never been beat by a Honda only a few close ones(Preludes).I just could'nt understand it.Anyone else had a similar occurence.Don't laugh please ,this really sucked!!!!

Danny, there are some engine builders for the imports out there that can put together some serious $hit. I inquired into a way to get my wife's Infiniti G20t some more spunk, and I found a speed shop that will swap out the original Infiniti 2.0L DOHC four for a "built" [forged internals, better flowing head, better cams, better computer] 2.0L Turbo that would make 265 HP, conservatively (motor can handle 450)...$3,000. I'm still looking for a blower option, so we'll match (when I get the Terminator...:-D)

I heard someone once say "The day I get beat by a ricer is the day the credit card comes out...". Good luck, send him my way and I'll teach him an SVT lesson. :bash:

Yeah that sounds about right to me.He said A few diferrent things when I asked him.I know I deffinitely heard him say he had an engine swap.You can have him,hell I couldn't do nothing with it.It was only a car length considerig my contour is stock except for a K&N drop in.

I've never seen this car before it just looked like a little wannabe with some stickers and exhaust.I was wrong.

Yeah hard to belive some of the ricers are fast

 

[Danny Shamblin]

I've known some were just not this one,looked thrown together.

That's the ones you gotta look out for. The ones that look like junkyard brawlers are usually the ones that are runners. Not much spent on show, all on go.
