I heard the guy say that he put an LS motor in the CR-X.
Should be running faster than a mid 14 with a lightweight FR of that power.
Ohhhh.
I was thinking something like this.
Was talking with my Chem. Proff. today while the rest of the class finished the homework they were supposed to be doing. We were talking about cars, then GT5. I decided to show him my Hennessy Venom GT Spyder Replica. We talked about the car, and how it was based on the Lotus Elise.
“Lotus is French, no?"
“Um, no, it's English."
“Really?! English....? Well.... that's worse."
*gets up picks up bag and laptop and leaves class*
NFSCARBON1My Physics teacher actually owns a Lotus Elise with an aftermarket supercharger fitted (could be a Turbo, it was a while since she told me about it). It has a ruined roof and seats because her and her husband stuck a roof rack on top of it with two Canoes! Her old car was a Honda S2000 which she pretty much killed by 'taking it for a drive'. Plumes of black and blue smoke on any car is bad, but on a Honda?
TBF they are both very nerdy people, but they are both ricers. They have three cars between them, the Lotus, a Land Rover Discovery and an old beat up Ford Mondeo, all of which are plastered in Type R stickers and badges!
That is not a LS V8 (its a old school Small block chevy)

eight6erThe ones who make videos claiming Hondas or some other small displacement 4 banger, are slower than something with a giant v8. Well Duh it's more than twice the displacement of the honda, we don't need a video to show us which one is faster in a straight line. Are they so afraid of losing, they go around looking for cars with tiny engines to "race"? These guys are true Radically Immature Car Enthusiasts.
You couldn't have hit the nail more on the head. Thank God I'm not the only one who realizes this!
This!
There are many cars that I would have with 4 pots over a V8. It's not all about power; especially on a public road.
With speed limits; 1000 hp is as irrelevant as slick tyres. Colin Chapman said it best "Straight lines are for fast cars; corners are for fast drivers"
On the subject of STI's, my cousin and I were talking about them a couple of weeks ago...
My cousin: I never liked Impreza's....
Me: Well, everyman is entitled to his opinion. Personally, I never liked the new ones.... they ruined the look of the classical Impreza.
My cousin: Ah they're all the same...
Me: No they're not! You've got the regular versions and you've the STI's.... which is what I'm into.
My cousin: STI, huh? And what does that stand for.....? Sexually-Transmitted-Infection? *laughs like an orangutan *
Me: No you nit-wit! It stands for Subaru Tecnica International. And WRX stands for World Rally Cross Country. Why the hell do I hang out with you?!?
My cousin: Cuz I have a '71 Goat, and you sold yours!
Me: Yeah yeah.... wait 'til I get my BMW [S1000RR-HP4], then I'll smoke your little barnyard pest.
