Today i finally raced my friends 94 mark 8. I have a 2006 RSX-S with just an Intake and Hondata reflash. He has an intake, exhaust, Chip, shift kit.

We went from a 40 mph punch to 120 mph, i had about 5 car lengths on him
We then raced from a 60 mph roll (he says his car pulls harder from that speed). Same outcome.

My best 1/4 mile time is 14.1@101 mph, his best is 14.6@98 mph.

Really impressed with his car. I thought i was going to really hammer him, but it wasnt that bad.

his car is slow for those mods but he should be strongest from a 30 roll.
my car is a PIG from 40. it stays in 2nd.

he should have atleast had a 14.3 at track. but, he is pushing 4,000 lbs down the road.

his car is slow for those mods but he should be strongest from a 30 roll.
my car is a PIG from 40. it stays in 2nd.
40 is the max 1st gear kickdown speed. w/ OD off of course.

I raced a 14.2 rsx type s on the street when my car was done up woth 3500 stall and gears and cutouts and I didnt floor it till 20 for traction reason and I caught up and had more then a half of a car and now with my car tuned up I would probly dusted him nasty, but ya that race sounds right GOOD KILL

i can take a 2005 RSX-S on the highway, past 110 mph it's no contest. The one I race has an intake. I have exhaust and shift kit. He traps 99 I trap 102.

Here we go again... :F

mines an LSC. it will kick down at 37 but not 40

mines an LSC. it will kick down at 37 but not 40
Mines a LSC too, kicks down at 40 pretty sure. 41 Nada.

Here we go again... :FWell, do you agree or disagree? Look what it took you to trap 100. I rest my case.

5 car lengths sounds like alot. .5 on the 1/4 isn't even close to 5 car lengths. And the Marks biggest challenge is the first 60' IMO, so from 40, 60, or even 10 I think the race would be alot closer if not the Mark having an advantage at some kick down spots like 40 or 37.

40 exactly on my 98, and 35 in the 95, but with a 7K upshift and the cobra Intake, it makes up for it.


the 94 on the other hand.,........If I can get the syncros lined up right I can go any gear at any speed. :D

my last street race ended with the pissed off loser Firechicken formula 350 driver trying to wreck me. that was a few months back and since then I have not street raced. but I do take my car out in the country and rip it once in a while.

What other mods do you have? Seriously doubt you can trap 102 with just exhaust and shift kit. No way.

Here we go again... :F

hehe, no one believes me...if you check some of the other racing threads, I took digital photos of my timeslips....I've done it one different days, many many times...don't know what else to tell you, really....it's not like I am trying to brag about this, or show anyone up or anything.

Your from Montreal, there was a story on Clubrsx about an RSX-S Vs a mark 8 from montreal. The type-s beat him from 40 mph and 60 mph. They raced like 5 times on the highway and each race the Mark 8 lost, it really lost badly from a 40 mph punch. From a 60 mph punch the Type-s pulls instantly and around 115-120 mph the Mark 8 catches but never passes. Pretty sad that a 4 cylinder motor can spank a V8 with 300 hp on the highway.

yeah considering that rice grinder weighs about 1500 lbs less :rolleyes:. I don't think it would have the same results against my Mark VIII.

At least it wasnt made with chop stix.

even more sad you felt the need to come on here and post your win over a 3800lb 12 year old "luxury" car with your 2700lb import econo sports car.

and just imagine if you had a slushbox automatic taking all the that high rpm power out of your vtec.


you should be on a subura site challenging WRX's and such.

when your not beating a luxury barge on the highway you still have to drive that little under torqued death trap on the same roads as our tanks,so be "careful" .


,but thanks for your story just the same.

hehe, no one believes me...if you check some of the other racing threads, I took digital photos of my timeslips....I've done it one different days, many many times...don't know what else to tell you, really....it's not like I am trying to brag about this, or show anyone up or anything.

You are up against math my friend. Your beast weighs around 4000 lbs with you in it. You would need around 370-380 hp at the flywheel to trap 102. :eek:

So if you picked up 100 hp with just a chip and exhaust, package that deal and start selling it to every MarkVIII owner out there.

My remarks were simply to imply the 'discussion' was 'bout to start again, not necessarily the validity of the times.

I will say this(with no malice intended), if you indeed trapped 102 with the mods you have, I need to make an appointment and come up there and get a new trap speed record for the Blue Flame. :eek:

The new honda's respond extremely well to the hondata tune. Good post!

that's a great story. 3 million people live in Montreal.

I think it's equally sad that you feel like bench racing me on an internet board, but if you want to bring your RSX to Montreal, you are free to try me too.

so....does that mean I have 380 hp, or does that mean every one of my timeslips is wrong?

I really don't feel like fighting about this, guys. I like to come here because I really enjoy the community, not to have to defend myself everytime this comes up :(

This is 2 months ago trapping 101.8

Just takes a lot to get that extra .2 mph... ;)

I'm not being confrontational. As a matter of fact, I said I'd come up to Montreal. Then we can run side by side. ;)

no no, i am not implying that you are, sorry, that came out wrong. this site is great, everyone has been really supportive of me, and helped me a ton with the car and I just don't want it to seem like i am trying to start some :q:q:q:q with this whole thing.

You are welcome to come up any time! It would be great to have another mark at the track :)

I'm curious though, in canada do they clock actual MPH or do they average it over the final 66 feet like here in the States? The later is always 3-4 mph slower than the former.

It's an NHRA track, so whatever the NHRA does, is what they do. I don't know NHRA rules well enough to tell you. I am most likely going there tonight, if you would like me to ask?

so....does that mean I have 380 hp, or does that mean every one of my timeslips is wrong?


1st, I have nothing but love for you.

But as an admin, I try my best to keep the information on this site real and accurate.

Take a look at any other timeslip. Your 60 ft is not exactly sterling at 2.36. Your E.T. is average at best at around 14.7-14.8. All that info would suggest a trap speed around 95-97 max. You are 5 mph above that. I believe the track must have something fishy going on with how the speed is calculated.

What do you see on your speedometer? It would be pretty easy to see if you are over that magical 100 mph figure on the speedo.

So no personal attack. Just doing my best to keep it real. The Math says that can't happen and based on your mods, it shouldn't, especially compared to hundreds of other Mark's that have posted similar 60ft and E.T. numbers.

The information would be helpful to us all. Hey, tell them one of the Lincoln sites say you are trapping 5 mph high and see what they say.

4000lb Mark VIII vs 2700lb ricer in a wreck = Mark VIII winner every time. :D
I think I will go out and pick on some ricers this weekend.

Congratulations I guess? Well I have no need for speed Because of my plans for a stereo but your a jackass I mean I don't like arguing on the internet but that is hilarious that you would come onto these forums to boast about a POS ricer I mean :q:q:q:q dude your car is compared to the Hyundai Tiburon and the Scion Tc http://cars.about.com/od/acura/fr/jf_06RSX_aspec.htm maybe one of these days you will realize that you paid 24K base price for the hunk of :q:q:q:q and barely beat a car that someone bought for 2000 dollars that still rides better and guess what if you get into a crash you get totaled if I get into a crash I get a new paint job for free :-D Enough said have a nice day Mr. Fast and the furious!

fast and furious??? more like slow and delusional. :ricesmile :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

These threads are always fun to read...

Only problem.... A ricer beating a Mark VIII... well yes I can see that happening.... mainly when you take 200hp in a tiny beautician's car what do you expect..

But being able to put it down in a $40,000 car that I paid only Let me see... umm $2,400 for my 93, $3,000 for my 95, and $1,900 for my 94.... All in great shape all still riding down the road with class... and all ready to beat on little ricers when needed...

Won thing that I don't have to do.. I don't have to put stickers on my car to make it look like it could be fast when it's not.. I know what my car can do...

I don't have to put on a coffee can to make my car sound like it's farting down the street. Mine sound like they have a V-8 under the hood...

And if a Turbo charged ricers comes up hell what do you expect... I'm not turbo charged or nitro equipped.. but I could be!!! and if I was I'd have a lot more than a little ricer driving by.....

Let the ricer boast... he made a kill... so what... he's still driving a ricer..

It's like those Neon things... in the end you are still driving a Neon...

well of course you won....you cars light as heck compared to a Mark VIII......however, i have a story of my own......with my friends cars, which are imports, and heavier than your RSX....... '01 Prelude 2.2, '99 Solara SLE 3.0.......heres how it went...... 0 to 100mph runs......out in the country......i live in the middle of nowhere to begin with....... :rolleyes:


Prelude vs Me - (prelude with full exhaust/intake, manual)
3 times, got him on the take off, he stayed on my rear bumper but he could not gain anything on me :)

Solara vs Me - (stock Solara, auto, just muffler)
got me on the take off bad, all 3 times, i seriously thought he had me, but at around 80mph i went passed him like nothing ....... :D

my speedo says over 100....and I always go with friends, who's cars are trapping what they "should" trap....It's a mystery. I wasn't able to ask tonight, because there were a million people there, but it's an nhra track, and the nhra tracks use the 60 foot average at the end of the track to trap....

my speedo in the mark says 100. i trap 98.

the speedo in the cobra says about 118. lets just say when i let off it immediatly dropped to 110.

i have a hard time understanding the equations,because at 4000 lbs a 98mph trap speed equals 293 hp at the wheels for 4000lbs,so the formuation is flawed to begin with,we only have 220 to 240 hp at the wheels yet lots of people trap at 97-98 stock,do our engines make 330+ hp at the crank stock?

how can i doubt 102mph trap and say it cant be done ,when 98mph cant be done on paper,yet its done day after day.

or am i wrong on my calculation?

please tell me if i am,cause i know i am no expert here.

just using a HP to trap speed converter.

I would think it depends on your torque range, my Javelin wouldn't do over 110, but it got to 90 in about 3 blocks... unfortunatly I never took it to the track...

my Javelin

Old AMC.... I remember seeing so many of them when I went to school in Kenosha, WI.. Home of AMC... LOL... and the Pacer... Hmmmm.. :rolleyes: not dissing the Javelin but I wonder what Ricers would do with Pacers???:eek: You know they have them...:shifty:

Also, I saw a scary scary late 70's Camaro in a bone yard yesterday... It belonged in the bone yard. :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: I wish I had my camera... It had a Piece of sheet metal bolted on to the stock spoiler... real ricish. :ricesmile :ricesmile :ricesmile .. and then a bolted on home made hood scoop... AHHHHHH... the guy had rice for brains....:eek: :eek:

Like I said before, you would be surprised which cars pull hard on the top end. Those RSX Type S with the reflashed ecu's are no joke too bad they are FWD. Oh yeah it would still get crushed by a real bolt on Mark VIII which has gears and torque converter but it's bring what you got and hope you brought enough...

A bolt on RSX-S, with intake/exhaust/Race header and Hondata should take care of a bolt on Mark 8 without a problem. The 05+ type-s with these mods are making 220 whp. You can then add cams, PRC intake manifold, pullies, etc...They can be NA beasts for 4-bangers. The K-series also really responds well to FI.

No disrespect to the Mark 8, its a great car. But mod for mod, it doesnt hold a candle to a type-s on the straights or in the bends.

great point... i once loaded my trunk with about 400lbs in sand for my horseshoe pits .. it was slammed.. then turned it on.. right up to ride height no prob... then with all that and 2 passengers with me.. still felt like i was alone with no load.. did not feel ANY slower

A compact car is like wearing a condom in my opinion, maybe it has a purpose, but it sucks lets face it.

They might be making 220rwhp with full bolt ons but how much torque? The Mark VIII is a better drag car platform than the rsx type s. A full bolt on Mark VIII (headers, tune, gears and torque converter) runs mid to low 13's depending on the setup I don't see a full bolt on rsx type s doing those times. Now if you want to go mod for mod with forced induction you are crazy, no way a blown rsx can hang with a blown mark viii.

i have a 95 civic also.. its my beater... around town econo... they last forever if taken care of ... but for looks and speed... it sucks.. i have a friend who has the same car hatchback that does 11 flats all day on pump gas and street tires.. but he also has $15k in motorwork... if i put $15k into my Mark i think id be just a lilttle faster than that

by the way that 7 flat mark in the pic above lives 5 seconds from me.. i believe his fastest time ever was a high 6... no way a rsx WILL EVER do a 6

I lost to a neon the other night

I lost to a neon the other night

my condolences for your loss....that has to be a bad feeling afterwards .. i'd rather have my house burn down

Mind you I also respect the quickness of those little light 4 bangers... Like I have said those little cars with such little mass are very quick. And in the corners they can be fun.

But what they lack is that Rear Wheel Torque.. Being thrown back into your seat... I've been in a lot of front wheel drive cars and you just don't get that same feel...

And I hope you understand what most of us mean by ricer... Those who have cars that only look like they could go fast with coffee cans, wings and stickers... but no go... driven by the people (you probably laugh at also) that drive them like they can go fast... (embarrassing for you group of enthusiasts)... These are the ricers most of us talk about...

You drive what you like.. and what you can afford. You drive your car for what it is.... But if you own a 1998 Chevy Cavalier that's what you have... Just because you drive a Dodge Neon if you don't have an SRT well all you have is a neon... If you turbo charge and modify these cars to be fast then great, good for you... you earn your ability to boast.. but most don't...

Same goes for the Mark VIII... I don't believe I have the fastest car on the face of the earth, but I have a car that I love to drive. It has it's get up and go and satifies my needs... I have dreams of Putting a super charger on my 94, or even a nitrous set up but right now I'm going to be happy with fixing my suspension and getting new tires and maybe some rims... None of which will make my car faster... Just ride better and look good...

i retract my previous post - you are clearly just a troll here to start garbage. No one really cares about your rsx. if we wanted rsx's, we would buy them and change the name of the site to "rsxvscadillac". So I am adding you to my ignore list.

the neon was fast a mid 13 second car he got me by a car and a half, I asked for the hit since I have no posi or Drag radials, and he had M/T slicks not even street legal, so I spin of the line which I knew I was thus why I asked for the hit, If I hooked Im sure It would of been a dead even race or even i might have won, well I will be out other night another mod

That's the truth...If you don't have it under the hood it's not going to go!!

Those little Ricers are quick... can't deny that.... just too light...

that it too true .... lean back to get something out of the back seat and the car changes lanes

I've run 3 RSXs, twice in my ETC, once in my Mark VIII. One was an 03 S, with an intake/header/exhaust, he put maybe a car on me in the ETC by 120, which would be maybe 2-3 cars on the Mark. Another was some base RSX that I put about 3 buslengths on in the ETC. The last was an 06 S, stock, vs my Mark VIII, which is also just about stock, and it was almost dead even from 30-100.

I lost to a neon the other nightSell the car. You don't deserve it.

Feel free to look up Factual information yourself www.clubrsx.com. There are many type-s's running mid to low 13's with bolt ons, 12's with cams, and so on and so forth. Next time take 5 minutes to actually look up information before you post a comment like that.

Again, i love the 32v 4.6, but you should try to learn just a tiny bit about honda's k-series.

Oh I think they know... it's just why would you want too... FWD is no fun in our opinion...

It's like how you like your women... FWD just doesn't give me the hardon that RWD does....

There is nothing like watching that front of the car raise as the rear end torque make her lift...

Even some of my student have said... wow that's cool the front of your car lifts up when you take off...

Too bad there's not enough torque to lift the wheel off the ground... I'd be creaming my pants... Maybe some day....

It's like how you like your women... FWD just doesn't give me the hardon that RWD does....

There is nothing like watching that front of the car raise as the rear end torque make her lift...

Even some of my student have said... wow that's cool the front of your car lifts up when you take off...

Nice comment! Enjoy your 15 second V8, maybe if you race the pre 99 4.6 mustang GT, you might have a chance of winning a drag race.

Good thing you have that huge wing.

I mean, the car is soooo fast, it might take flight without it.

Q: Does it raise even higher when you hit 50?

Here is your Acura if it was a jet fighter on the left.

Manufacturer: Mikoyan-Gurevich (Russia)
Name: f@got MiG-15bis

Here is our Mark VIII just for comparison on the right.
Manufacturer: Grumman (USA)
Name: Tomcat F-14D

Seems pretty clear to me.

And yes, I was laughing the whole time I was posting this.:D

Guys, he doesn't get it. He exaggerated how much he beat the Mark by anyways. And even the few car lengths you could pull just isn't impressive to us considering your car is tiny. Most of us would never drive a little teenage car like that, period, doesn't matter how fast it is.

As far as 4 bangers go, the RSX is weak anyhow.

The guy driving the Mark didn't know what he was doing or he wouldn't have rolled at 40 which is the worst possible spot to run a Mark unless it is off the line with a stock Mark.

I have a huge story of some races a couple of weeks back which I chose not to post but in one I ran a C55 from 50 to 120 and he lost by a car. He even came up and gratiously complimented the Mark on its top end. Even the S500 came up short but that is another story.

Definately a strong top.

I mentioned a Benz that pulled into the gutter lane not knowing what was at the light, me in my LSE. He then didn't even bother to try to get ahead of me. I got alot of flack in the LS forum posting the story. Kinda off subject but the LS board is so different than the Mark board, everyone just thought I what flippin crazy that a Benz would never back down to a Lincoln. Its sad how unloyal the LS posters are. Alot of car envy. MarkVIII guys stand up for their cars.

Oh well I gave you the benifit of a doubt of not being a troll... but your colors just came through...

Take your ricer and stick it... It will fit in your @$$ as one it's small enough, :p plus you are so use to taking it there that your @$$ is big enough....:D

Most people that buy Mark VIII's buy them because they can get a car that has a good engine, yet is still comfortable. Most guys don't think their Mark is some straight line killer. But it is a fast car. Especially considering how much it weighs. Sorry I didn't buy a Mustang, I didn't want to be like every other person out there driving a rustang. I wasn't looking for a street racing speed machine, I was looking for something with comfort, looks, and balls. Sorry your RSX doesn't really have any of that. It may be quick, good for you. Other than that, its small, weak looking (imo), and probably sounds like a go cart.

So your telling me that your gay little 4 banger has 200 whp and what? 190wtq? Our cars arent very far ahead of yours. Most marks only dyno 220hp at the wheels and im guessing max 230tq. Thats pretty sad dude, considering your car is made out of tofu boxes and brown paper bags...:) and it only runs a half second faster...

What if someone in a suped-up Yugo blew your RSX's doors off? Would you concede that the Yugo is the overall superior car just because it had a decent engine and it weighs almost nothing?

Well that's how most of us feel about stepping down from a Mark VIII to a Civ..err.."RSX".

Nice comment! Enjoy your 15 second V8, maybe if you race the pre 99 4.6 mustang GT, you might have a chance of winning a drag race.
well,.. not for nothing.. but my car IS pre 99.. actually.. 93.. so hes got 1300lbs less... and 13 years technology on me.... he still drives a car 13 year old girls love !!!... i see a pattern here...

not to mention it says hes from beverly hills... which would explain A LOT
come to South Jersey... where smart asses are killed and eaten

I thought RSX's were cool back when I was 14 and watched f&f for the first time.

according to the horsepower to weight these cars should run 1/4 miles in 13.8 to 14.0 not 15.2 with a 92.7 mph trap.

max hp at 7800 rpms!! lmao

imagine being in 4th-5th gear at 2500rpms and needing some acceleration,no way there is gonna be any power at much less than 4500 to 5000 rpms to start.

i had turbocharged 4 cylinders for 12 years, igot sick of having no response until well over 3k rpms.
no way would i want a high revving NA engine like this.

anyway,we all gotta stop comparing to these inline wonders,it degrades us and patronizes them.

You guys have to be the funniest ricers i have ever seen. I did not want to push this, because i have respect for the Mark8, but now i will let it all out.

Your car sucks at performance, so you pick on other things like looks!!!! Ask any one on a street, they will say the RSX > Mark 8 in looks as well. Its not even subjective, the Mark 8 looks like a turd on wheels.

Picking on where the RSX makes peak power! Man, for being all ford fans, i guess those cosworth engines suck balls, since they only make peak power past 6K.

I have never seen bigger ricers in my life.

if we ask any FEMALE on the street they would agree with you.. but every time i pull in to a performance shop or talk to any performance mechanic about my car they all say its a GREAT car and they love them.. and i hear no complaints by the females that DO NOT hesitate to get in and go for a spin...

shouldn't you be getting in your b!tch car and going to get your eyebrows waxed or nails done.. or some other girlie sh!t...

RRRRRing.....RRRRRing......

Dude your sisters on the phone as she wants her car back.

This is BS.... as when I attempted to show you respect and not get drawn into a pissing match you proved all you wanted was to whine about ricers..

You really think so? It surely out performs most mustangs with similar mods in a straight line. Of course not bendys.. the car was made with air suspension for a smooth comfortable ride. I bet your car rides like a go-cart. And and you better hope somebody doesnt run a red when your crossing an intersection. You might die.....

why hasn't this guy been banned yet?

Have you ever seen a cat with it's prey!!:runaway: I think Bryan want's to have fun with this one for a while before the kill...:woowoo2:

They call them Ricers because that's what they run on, there's no oil in Japan, just lots of rice patties... :p

why hasn't this guy been banned yet?

He has done nothing that would cause a banishment. Several of us have given him a few shots and I believe he has handled it well. Heaven knows I gave him a few fun-spirited nudges myself.:p

No personal attacks. That is the rule and will be enforced. Other than that, this is the internet and posting on car sites like this is a hobby so have fun and enjoy. Just don't take it seriously.

As far as his car vs our car, hey to each his own. In the car business we used to have a saying: there is an @ss for every seat. We tried it once. We custom ordered the absolutely butt ugliest car paint combo wise, repleat with two-tone paint, the scariest interior one could imagine. We custom ordered options that made no sense. Power locks, no power windows. Things like that. AM only radio. gay hubcaps. The factory even called us 4 times during the build to make sure this was the car we wanted. The build sheet was even posted at the Ford plant for all the employees to see. It raised quite a ruckus.

We had cloth front seats and leather rear. Car was insanely stupid. Sat on the lot for weeks and we all enjoyed showing the car to people and watching their reactions. What do you know, a couple walks in and to her, it was the most beautiful car she had ever seen. Unfortunately I wasn't the salesman that full listed her after explaining all the custom options she was going to enjoy. This was a one in a million he explained as we listened in on his phone monitor. I don't think I ever laughed so hard watching her drive out of the driveway on her test drive. So beaming and proud she was. I have always wondered what happened to that car.

Point is? To each his/her own.

i am sure we al know this but i want to post it anyway


''''
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

A classic troll is trying to make us believe that he is a skeptic. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. Troll is usually an expert in reusing the same words of its opponents and in turning it against them.

why else would someone join our site, tell us he beat our car with a different class of car. other than to provoke an argument.

pathetic,i sure as he11 never joined any site i didnt "REALLY" belong to just to pick on there car.he is an as5 lokking for some entertainment.

lets try to ignore the next troll that happens by so we can continue to stay on topics about the cars we love.

Yet I could see you trying to sell this car to someone also..and so straight faced explain how this car was custom made, a one of a kind, A car sure to turn heads and get you noticed...:cool:

The funniest thing is you only made this thread to start drama and you knew that... The thing is your car is so lame and you don't even know it... Going onto internet sites and talking :q:q:q:q must just be your hobby because you can't get any pussy

You guys are in fine form. Let the ricer be happy with himself, just as most of us are happy with our cars. He can't help being clueless about real cars.

baning him is not warranted but locking this thread is. all its doing is causing a flamefest between a n00b and forum members.

Yeah this thread isnt a very good one makes everyone involved look childlike.

In case nobody has noticed, we don't lock threads around here. We expect people for the most part to moderate themselves. Don't like the thread, don't click on it.

I have seen this over and over on the Net. Don't post, and don't lurk if you don't like a thread.

But peope will post and people will lurk. It is usually controversial threads that get the most posts and the most views. Why is that?

Update on this situation:

Same bolt on Mark 8 vs a Stock automatic LS1 Camaro. The Camaro gave the mark 8 a 2 car lead on the highway, They went from a 40 mph roll, the LS1 caught up and passed at around 80 mph, they went to 120 mph and there was like a few bus length distance between the two cars.

Bolt on Mark 8 Vs Bolt on S2000. They both went from a 60 mph punch. The S200 instantly pulled and held a 3 car lead all the way to 120 mph (mind you, bolt ons do nothing on the F20c).

This was the best race of the night, Bolt on Mark 8 vs new V6 Camry. 40 mph punch and the camry instantly pulled, they went up to around 100 mph with the camry holding a good 3 car lead.

I did not race tonight, but i still cant stop laughing at the camry race.

Dude, LS1 Camaros are fast cars. I wouldn't expect a Mark to take one really. Especially from a 40 mph roll. It has been stated before that is a bad place for a Mark to accelerate from.

Right. It may be true, but if bolt on's do nothing, then why have them?? Someone wanted to waste some money??

Even if this was true, who cares. Said before Marks don't pull well from 40. Other than that, consider the fact your friend with the bolt on Mark 8 may not know how to drive for sh!t. Either way, I get a kick out of your posts. Just don't wreck while streetracing. Watch that torque steer.

I can't stop laughing either, because you're so full of :q:q:q:q. Especially when you say a Camry pulled it just as hard as an S2K. Or if you're telling the truth, how many plug wires did you pull off that Mark VIII before the Camry race?

honesty,what does any of us know about this mark 8?

it could be running so badly.

not to pick on mr wilson,but even he will admit his car was running very poor recently

.what if this mark is off pace too.


i too want to know how an s2000 with bolt ons pulls a mark the same as a camry.

Actually the new V6 Camry is pretty fast, according to Road and Track it does the 1/4 mile in 14.5sec @ 99.9mph.

Sounds like somebody forgot to tell the Mark that he was raceing, if they did I would think he'd have enough sense to give up by now, he's obviously driveing a dog...

Do you guys realize that if you stop feeding the troll, he will go elsewhere? He probably has a thread going on somewhere else where they are laughing their asses off at everyone here.

Corrected

What'd you think of the Camry in 93, oohhh real nice. The cars aren't even in the same class so whats the diff. Comparing the S2000 to it, does that even have a back seat, real good match up. A Camaro, come on, I'd hope it could pull a little.

None the less your not going to impress anyone here with that little thing you drive.

Dude, Id hope that camaro pulls on a 4k lb luxury car. You should find some other car to bash man. Your car is far superior than our 13 year old luxury vehicles. So, why are you here?

Damn are you stupid... if they didn't depreciate so much we wouldn't have so much fun with them..... the Price, Performance, and Class... Class with a kick in the @ss..... for a price anyone can afford..

Oh wait you come from the class that has to over pay for things so they don't look cheap...

I have 3 Mark VIIIs That Close to $120,000 in car... and I've only paid about $9000 for them...

I have 3 cars with more class than a Honda.... and I haven't paid half as much as you... Now I can take all the money I saved and put it into the car to make it faster... unlike your kind that just make them look like they could be fast.

Oh and by the way... 14.6 1/4 on my 94 bone stock... Not bad for a Luxury Yacht..

I have 3 cars with more class than a Honda.... and I haven't paid half as much as you... Now I can take all the money I saved and put it into the car to make it faster... unlike your kind that just make them look like they could be fast.

Oh and by the way... 14.6 1/4 on my 94 bone stock... Not bad for a Luxury Yacht..

Do you work in politics? I love how you took a negative thing like horrible depreciation and gave it a positive spin.

Kudos to you sir!:D

Still looks RICER. :p I meant this in a derogatory way.

Please stop posting the worst 1/4 mile times for the type-s. BTW, when i was stock i ran a 14.7@97.

With an intake and chip the mark 8 will not even come close to a reflashed/intake type-s.



Sorry 14.65 @ 97.21 bone Stock with my 94 Mark VIII...

Look, i think we all can agree on this;

New V6 Rav4 > Mark 8

:p

Still looks RICER. :p

:D

Congrats! Now the real question is, was the track downhill?:p

What make that horrible..... I'm not buying my Mark VIII's for an investment and neither are you with your little honda.

But I get more car for my dolla!!

Usually those are the only way ricers race.. Let's go up hill!:eek:

Well if you are comparing weight per dollar then yes you are correct! :p

Sure ill race up hill, i just have to downshift a couple of gears!:p

You guys have been great. Alot of american ricers, but alot of knowledgable people as well.

The outcomes of the races i posted are totally true. The insults towards the car where there to bait out the fanboys, and it worked.

The 32V 4.6 is a great V8, not many stock production NA V8's can rev up to 7K (well theirs Audi's 4.2 and Honda's new V8, and all the Ferrari's but they are totally in another class:D).

I will still lurk this thread or this forum to bring actual facts when i see an outrageous post like "MY STOCK MARK 8 TOTALLY OWNED AN SRT-4 FROM A ROLL, OUR TOP END RULES YO";) .

;) The lack of knowledge for other cars on this forum besides the Mark 8 perplexes me.

All those races are true. At least one person here knows how fast the new camry is with toyota's 3.5 V6.:D

I have no problem with the races, a Mark VIII is not a big time drag racing machine. I had a Built Mustang for that angle. The Mark VIII is now at the youngest 9 model years old, it makes sense that technology has allowed others to pass.

Not my slip, but here is an 06 with just intake/exhaust

I ran 14.6 at 97+ stock (which I consider very slow) and I actually have the slip. So how were you faster stock again?

Different tracks on different days, yield different results. My friend with his Mark 8 on the same day, ran 15.0@95, he was stock as well.

why hasn't this guy been banned yet?


remember this isn't that other mark viii site!

ok,dont take this as an attack,this is a serious question,

what wil that car run at 75 degrees F? or 90 deg f?

i see your 2 posted runs were at 29 and 30 degrees
especialy with the heat soak problem with these cars experience with sri.

that is some serious cold temps. great for power:D

Exhaust do not give much on the Type-s without a race header.

this thread ticked me off so bad that I went on a ricer killing spree. I have killed 5 ricers since last friday the most recent was yesterday, some v-tec powered civic. I loved the look on his face when I went flying by in second gear after letting him pull out about 4 cars on me. he really thought that he had me beat. suprise, suprise!!! :lol: :lol: :ricesmile

HAHA! I raced some civic a while back. Held it down in first and stayed behind him for maybe 60ft off the light revving 4k in first so it sounded like I was trying, then I just romped on the gas and sqwaked 2nd.
