on the way home from work today an Integra VTEC pulled up next to me at a red light, it wasa 98 or so, I"m not too good with honda's...anyways he had intake, exhaust and rims as far as mods go (from what I could tell) and a 5spd. I have a '95 automagic with a hybrid. he turned off his system and started revin' so i figured he wanted a go. on green i got the lead, 1/2 to 3/4 cars on him all the way to 60 then i gained a little more, but at 85-90 he got all this power and gradually pulled past me. I dont know if he had NOS or if integras can pull that hard at high speeds, but I was shocked... none the less, I was pleased with the max's performance.

 

That sounds about right. I drove A 5 speed GSR, It's weak down bottom, city driving it's like a pussycat. But on the highway, you're in VTEC land. 3rd and 4th gear have the rpms buzzing, and it really goes then.

Yep... Its the vtec. Same thing happend when I raced my friends stock 2000 auto prelude. I pulled for the first half, he pulled the next half. They also have a High redline. like 8 or something. That will all be solved when I get my VI manifold. Muahahaha. That and NOS

 

off the line is what really counts!!!!

 

Don't race vtechers in curvy/downhills.

Beat their doors off in gentle upward slope...that's where their "high RPM HP/low torque" gets slaughtered the MOST.

I have auto and I only race 5spd 99 and on vtechers only on favorable road conditions for Max.


so there's no surprise in
Record: 2 win / 0 loss vs 99-on integra/prelude 5 spd.

Remember, not just the driver, also the "environment."

 

In general, Nissan horses are a lot stronger than Honda in the low end but the Honda horses come alive at above 4000 rpm. But if you get a Vairable intake, you get the best of both worlds.

 

Not out here in Germany. I've been here for 5 months and no dragstrip races yet. I've had several rolling at 30-45 and gun to 110-120 races on the 'bahn. This is where it matters. VTEC on the bahn is very nice. Once the rpms hit 4k it feels like an orgasm in my pants.

I wonder why so many local Americans are dumping their C5s and Cobras... Hmmmm...

Yeah, VTEC on German Autobahn, Oh I could enjoy that. ALOT

As opposed to an orgasm in your shoe?

Seriously, though, that's pretty sick. I've never felt that strongly about a car before.

 

damn the VI manifold is getting alot of praise from the org. I gotta get one just to keep up with you guys. hehe.
