well yesterday i was taking my homeboy to school, out of nowhere this black hatch came out of no where pulled up next to me and asked if i wanted to do a little quicky. i thought to myself its just a little hatch wont hurt to kill it.. boy was i wrong that thing took off on me right off of 2nd gear had bout 1.5-2 cars in front of me already. i feel soo bad for my car..



oh yeah he was a b16a swap
K&N intake
exhaust
and ITR piston.. something like that...

 

You should still have won......It's only a b16.....Unless it was built it couldn't be pushing more then 160whp with ITR pistons. A b16 eg hatch would probably run mid 14's.

 

unless it was a stripped Crx

 

Recipe for a solid 160ish fwhp and the thing probably weighs all of 2200LB's, don't feel so bad about the loss.

I use to have one with a B16a2 in it about 8 years ago but mine was turbocharged and had 287fwhp, I used to pull so hard on many cars with almost twice the HP off the line due to the light weight, but always loose up top when weight was no longer an advantage for me, thank you for reminding of my ricer days

what speed were you at in second gear?

 

47-50 mpg

 

Humm...you should have walked away cleanly in that RPM range.

 

ya... that thing evenn if it was fully built and stripped shouls havent of beat you much i know i raced my friends crx built b18b1 with a gsr head dead even when I was stock

 

maybe if you didn't have a "homeboy" for a passenger your power weight formula would've yielded a win...

 

you should have won!
