heard this many many times from many many people. care to share slips from a race or 2? how about a dyno sheet or 2?

since you don't seem to have anything listed for those of us that would like to see proof of your claim. maybe you could post up a profile ? let us all know what your secret is ?

or just thread talk ?

 

LOL @ finding the fastest xB. that's like trying to find the quickest snail or the fastest turtle.

yeah, one or a few are gonna be faster than the most but does it really matter? l0l0l

I cant believe you havent heard of Hondas and other FWDs drag racing.

Here is my friend's 99 Civic hatchback. He ran a 10.2 @ 144mph.


In his class, there are other cars that are much faster. Several are running mid-9s and trapping 155-169mph.

I figured, since nobody has really said that they are the fastest. I might as well have it...I don't race nor do I care.

I do agree with everyone else though. Finding the fastest xb is like finding bigfoot. It is a mythical thing that doesn't truly exist.

 

someone else already claimed to have the fastest xb, first in the world, then the US, then in CA. it wasn't a dig at you . but those that do have "the fastest" don't last long, lots of blown motors with FI. I am one of the lucky ones that was told using nitrous would blow my motor up, it hasn't blown up, yet. :D

 

nopi, does which used to be the NIRA circuit and the NHRA drags.

i forgot...the original hummer.
it would do 0-60 and the 1/4 mile in the same time....somewhwere around 20ish secs...

 

Are you people really that stupid?

How is finding a fast xB mythical? I already provided 2 that are fairly quick considering their minute performance from factory... one runs low 13s and the other mid 12s. Until proven otherwise, those are the fastest xBs...

What's so mythical about that?

People have been making fast cars out of slow factory cars for decades!!! Who's to say otherwise of the xB?

-END RANT-

 

look of course they are not that quick from the factory but there isnt many 4 bangers that are,you have to admit that the manual xb is fairly quick for the tiny azz motor and output it has. a 5.0 auto mustang with a 302 v8 only ran high to mid 15s 16s for a four door four banger is respectable,and with force induction they have to be at least mid to low 15s. give respect were its do,the auto xb (which I drive)is a turtle!lol

 

o yeah. since nobody is manin up on times auto xb with 15'' t1=30 pounds alone and 1 inch mdf box,and 18'' rims I ran 18.3 cant remember mph have to look when I get home,but if i did the normal honda strip down i might hit 17.9 I can dream right.lol I have beatin four door civic auto's b4.nuthin to be proud of it was prolly the longest damn race of my life we kinda got tired of holdin the gas pedal down and just stoped.

 

You're funny.
You think "grey-hairs" don't like to go fast? Ever notice who's driving all those monster-motored muscle cars at the local classic car show?
I'll be happy to take you for a ride in my Mach 1 anytime!

 

the 12.6 is Tony's Xb......for that run he was running high compression and a custom turbo along with a standalone ECM and i think he stays in GA but goes back and forth the NC and back to GA.............but yea like my sn says ITSME....mines da fastest in my area and i have witnesses haha......da crowd of ppl who seen me spank da integra LS that had i/h/e/clutch and a gsr tranny........then the tc guy that i asked to race then he turned me down cuzz i race acuras and stuff......kinda made me disapointed even though i figured that i would lose b4 askin him......go figure.....but yea i can def hit the low 16s or high 15s in the quarter cuzz da ls i raced ran high 15s at the track........but yea im not boosted and it was with everything in the car well everything that came with the car when i bought it aside from my wheels and the aftermarket stuff i put in

 

"Grey Hairs" don't go fast they all cruise around in their Z06 corvettes and dont even push it. I go to a yearly auto cruise where there is many burnout stops along the way and guess what. The older people go right through where the people in there 40's light them up big time.

 

A+ for those making the younger generation seem pretentious and ignorant. Age != lack of speed. I've seen plenty of who burkins89 refers to as "Grey Hairs" take their Z06's they cruise around in to tracks (especially road courses, because Corvettes can turn in addition to going fast) and tear it up.

You know why they don't push it on the street? They don't need to. It's a f---ing Corvette. Everyone knows it goes fast. The same can't be said for those who mod small engine cars and feel the need to prove how fast a turbo can make a 4-banger go.

I'm 20, have an xB, and have no intention of making it "go fast," to quote Ricky Bobby. I don't care if you do, but don't start berating those older than you when you most likely have little to no race experience at your age.

Plus, a Civic may be modded to go faster than a 'Vette, but if that race isn't in an exactly straight line, the 'Vette will blow you away.

 

im assuming you havent seen civics/integra that were moded to do circuits and auto x have you...........

 

Rofl, at all the stupid comments about FWD not being racing, and that xBs cant race and what not. Who was the dumb EmmEffer who decided hey I am going to make this 89hp Honda fast?

Personally I run 5.8psi on a ZPI Turbo setup. Do I have a dyno? No, I dont have the $ Do I have a time slip? No, mine is ment for just more power in accelleration no making it a 10sec toaster. If I wanted to make it faster,I would put my 7.5psi spring in and tune it. Even if the ZPI numbers were off and it was 30hp less, that would still put it at 150hp, or 1.5X stock, big differece on a 2300lb car.

 

That may be true if they take it to the track, but i still don't get why they dodge puddle. What is it, acid?

 

Maybe things here in PA are different, theres a big group off modded cars that all just fly around ranging from Talons to SRT-4s to Z28 camaros.

 

I rode in MmmBoxy's box....Seemed Hella fast!!!!!!!...hehe

 

Take a stock xB and a stock C5 and race them. Race equally modded rice and muscle. The muscle will win period. I paid less for my C5 then I did for my xB. They're different kinds of vehicles, and they're both super fun to drive. I got looked at differently in each vehicle. This is a big world with plenty of room for all kinds of vehicles. (exept for mustangs...jk) Fast is relative, you can race top fuel or lawnmowers, and have just as much fun. Stay on topic, who has the fastest xB? I want to see some links for videos.

not a good vid, but I found it on youtube
