hey i have an ls hatch and a stock b16a hatchback will not beat me. from the stop its all about the torque you have, not the horsepower. ls's push 128 pounds and b16's push 108. horsepower comes into play when you are highway racing. not drag!

so then lets race. When does it become highway racing. You might get me 60 foot time but as soon as I'm in the meat of first gear I'll start pulling you all the way to to the end. Mine isn't even running that great yet and I'm still pretty sure it'll beat most every stock LS hatch.

almost everytime i raced a b16 hatch, i jumped at least a car and a half off the line..... it doesnt start pullin until mid 3rd gear, that gear is when his vtec comes into play.... so i would have you for much more then the 60 mark.
