i mean not to instigate..but have you beaten one yet? because not to hate on the "Srt4" people..but thats the first step in seeing if your car has ANY balls whatsoever..is if you can atleast beat one of those..given that 14's isnt shit nowadays...i mean ive beaten about 3 so far...and 2 of them..i put multiple car lengths on...i wont say how many..but give them some credit..

Stock SRT-4's are slow in stock form, but they're faster than a stock GSR.

see...i agree with you 100%...i in NO way shape or form stick up for hondas,or anyone elses honda anymore..i own the car because i chose to own it..i built the car the way it is because i chose to...because i knew if i went N/A (In my Honest opinion) that i wouldnt be able to hang with TA's,EVO's,STI's, and all the other fast factory cars...i got tired of just being able to race other hondas...i give EVERY car respect...whether i like the way the car looks,feels,or not...including srt4's...i used to stick up for hondas..but whats the point? its every tuner for themself nowadays...honestly..im not even a fan of "dohc vtec"...i mean im not hating on it..but i just dont see the point..unless you're trying to squeeze out every ounce of HP you can...i dont even like taking my RPM's past 6500...and i still make power..and beat cars...but thats just me...
bottomline..just like some srt4 owners give srt4's a bad name..honda owners take it over the top.

all in all..i just want to hang with respectable cars...not just hondas.
