Not my cup of coffee, but I won't knock the guy for building it his way.

20 psi on a 9:1 compression ratio. It's a bomb waiting to blow.

I doubt "top speed" on a dyno would be the same as top speed on the road. On the road you would have the additional drag of the rear tires plus wind resistance.
Who cares. You can make a phone booth fast if you dump enough money into it. It is still a phone booth. I heard a guy at the track tell a ricer that having an 11 second ricer is like coming out of the closet. You may surprise a lot of people at first but in the end you are just gay.

I think I've just heard the best comeback to the turbocharged, nitrous ricer argument. :notworth:

This is the type of rice burner I can actually have respect for, not too flashy with the outrageous spoilers or stupid lights everywhere. Just a nice suttle look and the owner actually did internal work to the engine which makes it FAST rather then just making it SOUND fast by slapping an intake and exhaust on it.
I give it and the owner a thumbs up in my book.:thumbrig:

I spotted it after watching another video.
Like it or not, extremely gay or not, it would STILL suck to get spanked by such a car because it just looks like your average, lowered, bouncy, no suspension, fart pipe added honda and i could see how tempting it would be to take this guy up on a red light challenge just to show him who's boss, when all of the sudden he leaves you behind with your pride in your throat.
Yeah, that would suck, and even if he is gay and his boyfriend loves it, he still spanked you, and you got beat by a gay guy with a gay car.
Ooooohhhhh, that double sucks!

Turbos make nice power. I have been playing with a 2.2L Turbo Omni. I use it as a test mule for an engine management system.
A twin turbo V8 would be nice, no worry then. More cubes with turbos = more horsepower.

Got into a lil race with a rice car today. I was going along minding my own business and the rice car comes by flying real close to my drivers door. Two dudes laughing as they went by. Guys car made a funny whooshing noise like it had a turbo or something. I dropped down in third and punched it. I was on is bumper in no time flat pumping the carb like go it you are going to go! Everytime he changed gears a black cloud of smoke would come out. I let off because he was switching lanes keeping me from passing and we got into some other traffic but kept going. I left off because it was to dangerous. I would like to race him fair and square off the line one time. I bet he's telling everyone he blew my doors off or something.
The car you posted is unreal. Where in the world could you get to that kind of speeds on the highway?
Must been on the dyno.

Just tell him to come back and race you after his car is 39 years old .....
It will have been recycled into a dishwasher and 2 Coke machines long before that.

Ax, you did the right thing.
I'd rather him tell his sissy boyfriends he beat you than to kill some innocent family trying to get away from your car thus sending you both to jail and your car to the scrap yard.

I know. For a split second after they nearly took my door off when going by me I thought "Should I or shouldn't I?" Well the "Should I?" won. That kid was driving crazy keeping me from passing him "mirror driving". I thought about it when it was over and I have been getting on to myself since. "Don't ever do that again!"
I have had a few Shelby dodges including two GLHSs, and '86 and an '87. Fun little cars.

Maybe you will see him one day getting out of his car, then you can go grab him by the throat and let him know how much you appreciated his wreckless driving as you tighten your grip with every sentence.

I don't see how something like that would be fun to drive at all. You wouldn't go anywhere until you hit 5000 RPM's, and in a short drag race, you'd get beaten by pretty much every car out there with something more than 4 cylinders.
OK, this is my response;
The ricer did some nice work.
In a race vs him, do I get to step up to the same goodies he has or can he dumb down to match what I do not have?
I'd love to step up to what he has, in terms of equipment that I don't. Let me explain and while I do this explaining, imagine along what it would be like if you could afford and do this to your engine and the power gains assoc. with it.
Lets see, I'll start with the no brainer of a turbo on my 318. I'll take two myself.
Intercooler as well.
Rollerize the whole cam/valvetrain.
Overdriven trans. Same amount of gears he has. Not more, just the same.
Computer to optimize the fuel injection.
OH, I'm getting a pipe dream joygasim as I scream past 180 mph with another gear to yank! :-D
I love this quote!!!!! Dead on!!!!!!
Your right, gay is gay.

You would be surprised. I know a bunch of guys with Omnis and Shelby Chargers running 12s, 11s, and a couple in the tens without NOS. Check out this video of a friend's Reliant K car vs. a twin turbo Supra:

In fact, if you want to see something really amazing and funny:

And he has run more than two tenths quicker since that video.

I used to hate imports, turbos, etc, then I purchased a turbo T/A with the Buick V6. Nothing compares, it's like driving an airplane and great on the highway. I worked with a guy who fixed up a newer car, when I asked him why he explained it was cheap, he could drive it daily, there are plenty of aftermarket parts, and chicks dig it. Sounds like the same answers you would get if you asked the same question 30 years ago.
BTW, the turbo is going on e-Bay due to the purchase of my Barracuda.
