3SGTE tuned up VS. Civic Single Cam Turboed, i know we talked about these situation b4, but i just gotta confirm wi Options

[chacha]

my friend was braggin' how great his car is and that his tuner was able to push 450 WHP on his 1995 Honda Civic, ported his engine from top to bottom and has a T3 turbo on it...piston and crank as well as all the comparments in the engine was literally changed for performance...i told him about the 3SGTE for our cars and he laughed...never heard of the GT4, but laugh and said his car will run 0-60 in 3 or 4 sec high, i forget...but he will beat the SH*T out of our cars (tuned 3SGTE engines) can this be true? a 450WHP civic single cam beating a dual cam 3SGTE?

honestly your just going off the "ulmighty 3sgte" bandwagon kid...

the 3sgte is a great motor with potential but there are easily tons of SOHC boosted civics that will walk a celica with a 3sgte...
SOHC or DOHC isn't going to make a huge difference and is pretty much negatable for this discussion

and don't be narrow minded and limit yourself to thinking only 200whp or less FWD cars can catch traction....there is a 500whp SRT4 that will get perfect traction all day long...there is a 500whp sentra thats an aquaintence of mine that runs fine too....traction is limited by funds and knowledge....not by HP....

so don't think that just because its FWD traction is useless and that nothing else is faster then a 3sgte cause there are PLENTY of high HP hondas and others that will walk you

I disagree with this statement.
