Quartermile times.
We all know that these cars are friggin awesome in the turns, but as most Honda owners aren't the greatest drivers (not saying all, so no need to flame), they love to just power shift their way to glory. Just curious what kind of ets you guys are running, don't care what you got, if you got a four wheels and it was made by Nissan, I would love to hear what you ran.Reason is that I want to see what kind of mods run what kind of times, yes, I did the search button, not very helpful, so yeah, if anything, here's your chance to post your numbers.So c'mon, let's hear it SR, KA-T, NA guys, show your timeslips in the 1320.

Most Nissan people aren't as good drivers as well. I say it's all even on all sides. Anybody got rammed by new gen Altima with that big *** rear end in a parking lot while the (much better then a Honda driver) just put the car in reverse at the entrance of a movie theater and just rolled it back and hit me. Even though it didn't leave damage it just raises the score of bad drivers to:
Nissan 1Toyota 0Subaru 0Honda 0and all other europeans and americans 0
This is the wrong way to start a topic because of how old it has gotten. I don't know if anybody else is sick enough of all these Honda ricer crap. Ricers own every car, your 240 isnt better then any Honda just because you notice more of the Honda ricers and are probably too proud to admit seeing a Nissan one. I've seen them all, they are everywhere, go on Fresh Alloy and you'll see some of them, or go to Zilvia and see that pretty much that entire forum is ricers.

Wow F1seb, thanks for bringing that to my attention, I shall now rethink my whole perspective on the world.Hmm, I woulda sworn I said not all, hmm, odd.I think just about every forum would agree that the honda forums tend to talk a whole lot more BS than most, there wasn't one forum that I went to that didn't raise this topic at least once.Hmm, I woulda sworn that I didn't say that Nissan drivers are better than Honda drivers, but I guess it might've escaped me.Also, my topic isn't geared towards Honda hating, just saying that Honda guys love talking about ets, and well, call it immature or whatever, but ets is what bragging rights are sourced from. Our forum also has a lot of "our cars are better than Honda" stuff, so I want to hear actual ets. Our cars proved that we can hang with the best of them in the turns, but what about quartermile.And before you go on about this and that, I do realize that our suspensions are set up for handling, not for drag racing, and yes, I do realize that true skills aren't determined inthe straight, but to claim auto brand dominance, a car brand has to be dominant in just about every aspect (agreed?).Yes, I do realize that not all Honda owners aren't bad drivers, and yes I do realize that not all Hondas are slow.And in relation to your little table, I had a friend who had a WS6 who crashed into a telephone poll from a start (that's right, wrapped it around a telephone pole from a stop), so I guess that makes the WS6 a ricer, hmm, I'm sure the LS1 guys will love hearing that.Oh, here's another to add to your list, another guy I knew had a 66 Stang that he managed to get it on top of one of those big flower pots, thus making 2 you could add to your ricer list.I'm sure you had a point with your Altima claim...And what's this about the zilvia.net and freshalloy being ricer sites, don't even get me started with the Honda sites.After writing all this, I seem to have missed your point, mind reiterating it to me again?

Dang, I tried to think of some more cars you could add to your list, but I can't seem to think of any Honda cars. You're right man, all cars are ricers like Hondas. I can't think of anytime I saw a group of ricers, oh wait, my mistake, a group of true racers on the side of the road on highway 80 by the Bay Bridge watching their friend's stickered up Civic/prelude/accord (sedan) being towed from the median. Or see ricers, no wait, my mistake again, racers cut their springs on their civic sedans, or adding ridiculous size wings for down force, or throwing on a 100 shot nitro with no other mods, or yell out MUSTANG in the fast and the furious, but I guess for every Honda owner that does this, there's more Nissan owners, or to be more specific, 240 owners who do this as well. Yup, there are more of us who buy our 240s because of the vast array of wings and kits we could add to your cars (and let's not forget about the ichi go conversion) instead of the rear wheel drive, multi link rear suspension, near perfect weight distribution, relatively low curb weight, and a number of truly high power potential engines we could add. Heh, I guess that's why there are more body kits available for our cars than Hondas, shoot, I wish I could get me a euro light for my car, mind helping me look for one? Oh wait, that's right, there aren't any, I guess that's a disappointment to all us ricers.

Sorry for the frustration, just such a ridiculous post. But yeah, back on topic, let's hear them times.Oh, and if you guys are wondering, I'm thinking like a 25 second et, bad clutch, all stock, no lsd, didn't bother dragging it yet, not worth the track money just yet, and with the bad shocks, makes anything above 70 somewhat dramatic with a little wind. But yeah, would love to hear people's times.

You just don't want to see my point thats the problem here. You started the post by saying "most Honda drivers" you did say not all, but you still even though you think you have covered your self from looking like a Honda hater, you still come across as one. You could've made a post about this without mentioning the Honda crowd and still have your point across so why did you feel like you needed to mention that. Anyways as far as Freshalloy and Zilvia. I didnt say all the people on Freshalloy are ricers but there are a good number of them. Now Zilvia has the most ricers because I remebmer calling BS on some guy in a automatic 240sx who raced an S2000 in an 1/8th mile and beat that car. As me having a friend who owns one I tried many times to race him in my stock 5spd. and he gave me 3-4 carlenght starts and he still ate me up before I even reached 50mph. To make a long story short it turned out into like a 100+ post and everybody flaming me that the s2000 has no tourqe and therefore the story was true and I must be on crack. I'm not going to say that all but the majority did. Therefore just like you talk about "most" of the Honda crowd being ricers. And the cut springs and all the other nice mods I have seen on almost every imaginable car. No point in defining what a ricer is here. I also didnt say that the people who dont know how to drive their cars are ricers, they are just simply people who do not know how to drive a car.
Yes my car is slow and I admit it.But at least its on the road.

I initially wrote another page worth of stuff to say back, but I'm just going to skip all that and say this:Also, the automatic miiiiggghhht have been modded.And I know what your point was, I wasn't avoiding it, I said most, and I shall again say most, just because all the magazines show these badass civics running crazy times, that does not mean the masses does also.Everything else I need to say I pretty much said.Also, if you're complaining about peopel claiming dumb things, go to the Honda forums and see the kind of stuff they claim and then come back and see how bad those guys at zilvia are.And my car is slow and yes, it's running.And I said 25 second to put emphasis on the fact that my car is slow, I'm sure it's at least 17 second.And another thing about S2000s:they're great cars, I personally drove one, lots of fun quotient. It's also a great autocross car, but what it's not good at is being a very good practical straight line performer which is the reason why some kids buy these cars. My buddy has one, and he knows this as well, but there are a bunch out there who bought it thinking it's this haven of Honda performance. Ever see how much parts for this car are?Oh I could go on about this for a long long time, but I won't subject the people on this forum to anymore of it, but if there are more people who thinks what I said is bunk like F1 Seb, I'll delete it, if not, then stop using this thread to prove yourself lame. If you want to continue this discussion, start a thread and I'll be sure to drop my lifetime's worth of two cents on it.
Now for the task at hand, keep those times coming, I hardly think being in the 10s is slow, but man, if you got the time, give us a sample of the mods you're running for credentials.
