MacMAK Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 A friend in my city got a Dodge Viper 2005, the first I think in my area to get that kind of car. Most people that have fast cars or think they have fast cars drive Honda Civics. Well I told a friend about my other friend getting a Viper and all he can say is that the car is slow and that his civic can smoke it. I'm not saying that the civic is slow because he can do a quater mile in high 12's but comparing a stock vtech civic motor to a vipers 500HP motor is no contest. Or is it. Am I missing anything from this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's no competition against other cars in how fast the car is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMAK Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 There's no telling this kid anything though. He said that Vipers have low RPMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb815 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 A Viper has 500 horsepower and a V12, his little rice burner isn't going to beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMAK Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 anyone knows how fast a viper pulls in a quater mile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stotan12 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 your friend's an idiot. a civic (unless HEAVILY HEAVILY HEAVILY modded) doesn't run anywhere near a 12 second quarter mile. the 05 viper runs about 12.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacMAK Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 on a raceway he did very high 12's around 12.8ISH. The thing is that he played around with his ECU and the vtech is always on instead only kicking in after 5.5K RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costanza007 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Exactly, plus how much money went into the civic? imagine if your friend with the viper went out and spent a bunch of $$ on tweaks and upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacMAK Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 He didnt do much work. he's selling it for $8K right now so I guess it wasnt to much. He has no turbo, no nos. only a cold air intake, and pure motor power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy_tho Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 on a raceway he did very high 12's around 12.8ISH. The thing is that he played around with his ECU and the vtech is always on instead only kicking in after 5.5K RPM. Must have been a 1/8th mile. And I don't think you can even "turn Vtec on all the time". If I'm not mistaken it is designed to maximize torque at low RPMs and top end at high end trhrough some kind of timing scheme. People that believe Honda's are race cars spend to much time watching that "one" video on Kazaa. That would be excluding the NSX. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn00pY Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Wow... hold on. some idiot is saying his STOCK [oh wait he "fiddled with the ECU" and added cold air intake [woo an air-filter] and other useless crap] Civic will beat a Dodge Viper...let alone a NEW 05 500BHP V12 weapon... ok this kid is very very retarded bro...you need to tell him "Sn00pY said your an idiot and need to go drop your pants and spank your own balls HARD for being such a fool..." reagrdless if he had a huge turbo etc... the Dodge Viper is 500BHP - yes its HEAVY in comparison - but power to weight ratio is not an option here when dealing with such BHP difference... go tell your friend to try "SLI" his civic with another - thats the only way he's gonna beat a Viper [yeah its meant to be funny...this is a tech site haha? :ninja:] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
