Well we do enjoy and praise the vehicle we represent but honestly a 240 is not much of a drag car no matter what engine or HP is has.

IMO drag racing is boring and requires little to no skill. All you need is money to build a fast car to go in straight line. It's like a pen15 comparison, they should just pull over, whip them out and compare, get in their car and go about their day.

You make a very good point but I have to say that it does take at least some skill to drag race especially making cars run times they normally don't. Drag racing is actually pretty technical from setting up correct suspension, gears, tires, and most of all driver.

I do Both. I love to get the 240 loose and I love swapping out my suspension and putting on my slicks and racing kids that think their 11.9 sec turbo civics will run the same time on the street then it does at the track where it gets more traction. Great example is this kids car here in NY. They spent all day at the track and finally broke into the 11's. My 240 went 12.3 at the track and doesn't loose much on the street but thought they had a chance running heads up on the street and I even gave them a car and beat them by 2 1/2 more. After the race They begged me to "roll race" wtf is with roll racing.

I love watching street videos but I was just saying the horsepower on that 240 wasn't accurate. I wasn't baggin on the video

I call BS. The guy says it has a GT2871 (I'm assuming R) on it. There is no way he's making 450rwhp @ 19psi w/that setup. Not unless he's got N20, and he didn't mention it, and I didn't see any nozzles or solenoids.

Thats why its called "butt dyno". The kid prolly never took it to a dyno and is just saying what the specs of the turbo can make out for power but something he will never get close to.

I can put a 600hp turbo on my car but doesn't mean i can make 600hp

Aw bastard! His front end conversion is exactly like mine. Minus the M-Spec front bumper right now

S14.5 Origin 30MM Conversion FendersS15 Seibon DVll Carbon Fiber HoodBut his on '95 S14.Mine's on a '98 S14 (it was wrecked before, so no, I didn't go from Kouki to strawberry face)

At least I know how my car will look, but black paint

And I'll probably go LS V8 instead of the 4 cyl SR's we see so much now a days
