Why on earth would a Corvette with all that rubber advantage roll race the guy? Let's see him do it from a dig.
And cut the annoying 20 second intro off the vid next time, TIA.

No idea I will get some feedback when I hear more. The shop that the green Honda works at ETS Gtr took out the UGR Lambo TT.

Since when does the displacement matter? Theres been 6 seconds Japanese 4bangers for quite some time now..
And I just heard that this Integra had a flat floor and other aero stuff done? Is that true?
I'm very impressed with what he has done to that car on a LOW BUDGET BUILD. He's not getting rich working for ER. I'm a corvette owner so don't get me wrong but with all do respect that car moves.And I just heard that this Integra had a flat floor and other aero stuff done? Is that true?

I thought it was pretty cool was all, this little daily driver 1.8 litter making 800hp at the crank taking on the big boys.

It is very cool! Just a bunch of "if-it's-anything-but-a-Corvette-it's-crap" haters here. Anytime you get an underdog taking out the big guns, it's cool!
This place is becoming more like the snotty Viper boards every day.

It does seem that as the cars we drive get more expensive, you run into snobbery more.
Just yesterday I was on my KTM at the gas station and complimented a guy on his new C7. I got the down the nose look and didn't even get a thanks after my compliment.

Yep, board is getting worse and worse and corvette owners are getting more and more stuck up as the cars get better from the factory. Back when c4s/c5s weren't all that great corvette owners seemed to be a lot more humble, now with zr1s/z06s/etc from the factory anyone who buys one think they now have a 12" dick and can look down at others.

I belong to two viper boards. Certainly can get very snotty....no doubt about it. Some very large egos over there. Some folk have their viper parked next to their Lambo or Lear jet and let you know it. As the corvette edges up in price and the C7Z gets close to $100k, you'll get more of that over here....

I was on the Viper boards for a while with my '08 Roadster, but they're such dicks there and it was so unpleasant, I closed my account - I still have the car and still love it; just not into their arrogant Viper-is-the-only-car-in-the-world spew. It's an immature attitude.
I have FGT's, a Viper a Z06 and a bunch of other cars, bikes and trucks, all with a ton of mods and a lot of cash spent on them. I have no holier than thou attitude, and I'm not brand or car loyal. All vehicles have their pros and cons. It's not like there's any one single vehicle that's really much better than the next.
And by the way, I didn't see guys on those boards with Viper's next to their Lambo's and Lears. I saw most of them with only one sports car; a Viper. I didn't think that most of them there had anything more than that, since they feel there's only ONE car in this world.
I always believed the Vette guys here (many but not all) were far more humble and accepting of other cars, but it seems that's changing here these days.
I belong to and post regularly on the Ford GT forums. There's no ego or dick measuring there at all, probably because many there have more assets than one can imagine, but they do know how to interact. It's such a different world there, it's not even comparable to here or the Viper boards. There's no tolerance there at all for the petty ******** that goes on here, and there doesn't need to be, because it just doesn't exist there. Everyone there interacts like people, not like some here who have a 100k Corvette on the 10-year payment plan, but live in trailer in Jerry Springerville and act like they're on his show!
Stupid is as stupid does I guess...
