STLKHR Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hondas piss me off, i have in the past had trouble beating some of these buggers and yet they can pay 5k for a VTEC and i pay 15k for my R34 and they are nearly if not gruntier, i know they have the power to weight factor on there side but still come on......... what do you think?

GUN_METAL_GTR32 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) what type of honda are we talking about buddy my brother drives a civis vtir and its slow as my sister drives an accord vtir and its slow as my aunty drives a integra type r and its ok but u should be beating them in your 34 (im assuming its turbo) sorry just saw u r not turbo even still u should be beating civic and accord vtecs now an s2000 thats a quick piece of machinery with like 175kw so i could understand them beating u anything alse but and i think it comes down to driver skill Edited February 13, 2007 by GUN_METAL_GTR32 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156307-honda-vtec/#findComment-2904509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLKHR Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 ^^hairdresser2000? no thanks.ur gettn beaten by honda vtecs cause ur in heavier slower car. simple. hi i didnt say i was getting beaten everytime, my skill is quite sufficent as my first car when i was 15 was a 351 xr falcon 67 and i have driven many a old school and quite a few modern japs, the point is that for the money you pay and the rep of the skyline i would assume that some 94 integras that are worth a smidging of the price are just as quick, maybe the Vtec is more supperior then the VCT the skylines have?

Gazee Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 ^^hairdresser2000? no thanks.ur gettn beaten by honda vtecs cause ur in heavier slower car. simple. Yea you could say its heavier and slower... my mate had a 180sx with just the simple mods.. boost fmic and that but he was beaten by an integra type R... my suggestion to my friend being beaten is that he's a shit driver cos the 180 is just as light as the type R and he's got turbo... Maybe STLKHR's R34 is auto and bone stock??? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156307-honda-vtec/#findComment-2904726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecl Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) You have a nonturbo auto, there are a few modded dc5rs running around with 135-140 atw which translates to a lighter more powerful car than yours. Even stock, they will give a stock s15 a run for its money.

32line Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) a dc2r will run to 100 in 6.2 sec.......and in no way is that slow. uve got a non turbo auto skyline. 'skyline rep' as u put it, is based on the turbo manuals, espeically th GTR's.
