let me ask you this....how the hell can you beat a damn b16 hatch when I had an I/E in my damn si soupe...and I took an eg w/ls/hatch in the 1/4 at Richmond International, ask my boy matt on the board about it was his car, or just ask sung or brandon about the times we hit. .doesnt make to much sense to me.

Shinobi I have no idea wtf you said. I’m not replying for your sake either, you keep spouting off this BS and I’m just correcting you.

like more impatient said, the guy couldnt have been able to drive because i can beat a 2000 si with I/E all day because they are heavier than my Cx. im not sayin b16's are slow.... its just not as good as everyone thinks it is... and i think the ls is under-rated only because it doesnt have "VTEC!!"

I listed the facts on the b16, why it is such a good motor, and havent even mentioned" Vtec" cam profile yet.
