Race Cars wit no torque from a dig, you will own em everytime 99% false statement. tq doesn't win races, hp does. tq just gets you off the line faster... Agreed, Torque is wat gets u there and hp will keep u there lol, you obviously havent read any of the last several posts. torque does NOT get you to the finish line faster! it gets you off the line faster! tq is how much pounds of pressure your putting down to the ground. once the launch is done, you're racing out of power, not torque You need to do some research before you talk shyt i beleive its the other way around... power = torque x engine speed as engine speed increases, hence when you floor it, rpms (revolutions per minute) increase, torque diminishes. do me a favor, don't be so quick to call somebody out in the future tough guy Im not callin you out wat part of this didny u understand Torque is wat gets u there and hp will keep u there

volcm61gq Norwalk California, US Tech Advisor	You know at my work we actually put BFG supersports on a Type S....the guy loves them to death...he takes his car to the canyons and he said the handle supreme...and he still has great tread left over.... i recomend them.. because its the tires that puts the torque to the floor and carry the HP to the end hahah i dont wtf im talknig about..... haha

You know its a good car that handles supreme... I know wat they can do. To tell u the truth its a better car than the tc. but im not hating. This is a tuner forum not a hating one. guys with turbo tc's wanna talk shit u can go ahead a run my bike if u want. im not calling anyone out im jus saying...wheres the love people? ahaha im not hating on nobody. I have no reason to hate. I dont even know you or anyone esle to hate you, them or on you or on them. And i wasnt bashing him cuz he has a Type-s. Shit i like em to, but we were talkin about cars wit low tq and hondas are a very well known car to that. A car is only as good as it's driver.

On3Sh0tBlaz3 Massapequa New York, US Chief Mechanic	I ate my friends 6cyl mustang td on a empty parkway at around 3:30am today!! I just had header, spipe, and CAI installed this week and my friend started talking about my tC possibly beating his mustang in the quarter mile (we have it marked off by start points and ending landmark) of course he and everyone else laughed at that despite my mods vs his stock mustang... we drove up to the empty parkway and lined up... 3 beeps GO... my launch was terrible and by the time i was moving he was almost a full car ahead... at that point I was thinking well now i definitely have no shot at winning but kept at it and pushed my car... i saw the sign on the side of the road which would indicate the end of the quarter mile coming up in the distance but noticed i was gaining fairly quickly on the mustang, sure enough with space to spare i blew past him still steadily gaining even more space between us as i passed the marker... man this is a change... im used to being left in the dust but now these mods surely helped me in this win, didnt even expect this win, to be completely honest haha... WOOOOO im so pumped right now!!

iluvmyTypeS Master Mechanic	if you can feel the gains, then thats cool. i just think a lot of their products are rice, and havent really heard anyone ranting and raving about quality and perfomance. i personally think they're a company just for show and money, and not too much about quality.

warlock_bcrich Norfolk Virginia, US Tech Advisor	i raced civic si from a 50 mph roll earlier today. down shifting from 5th to 4th he got a small jump but after i got the rpms up and shifted to 5th he was barely hanging onto my back bumper. I would have never raced him but he instigated it the whole time and finally we just raced. I give that lil b series some props. He did hang on. Once i get my turbo kit i dare some of these guys around here to try to mess with me.

777ipd Bakersfield California, US Master Mechanic	A few days ago was trying to keep a Dodge Neon from cutting me off so once we stopped at the light I was thinking he was going to go for it. Well I was still trying to decide if I was going to punch it or just fake him out, then the light changed and he went and I had a horrible launch but believe it or not I caught up to him rather fast and was behind a car so I passed him. I found it funny seeing as I have a Corolla S (the car everyone says is so slow). He tried twice more one time at 40 (down to 2nd for me, YA!) and again at 30, both times I pulled on him (the 40 I ended up about 4 cars ahead, VVT-i baby). Then I was in the left turn lane and he was in the strait and when the light turned green he gunned it and yelled American muscle baby!......What! The first time he was far ahead of me but I wasn't even going that way! Oh and American muscle-Dodge Neon don't really go together (unless maybe a srt). It was a riced Neon if there is such a thing. Mac and iPhone/iPod help!

Rev match and you should have been in 3rd

warlock_bcrich Norfolk Virginia, US Tech Advisor	yeah i already knew that. its already over though so can't really do much about it know. i still stayed a head of him. not too worried about not down shifting enough.

777ipd Bakersfield California, US Master Mechanic	Don't worry man, some time I'm worried about going to low and jacking something up. I think the fact the this our only car makes have restraints. In our car 1-3 seem aggressive but 4-5 drops off, is the tc that way? Mac and iPhone/iPod help!
