There are no details whatsoever about the vehicle, maybe the tires were old and bald and he had no traction to begin with. If we're talking about a 0-60 on shitty tires I can absolutely see him getting smoked by a well maintained or lightly modded Accord, especially if the G was a 6MT and he didn't know how to.properly launch with one.

Yeah I don't know how much they have wrapped up in those cars. I was joking that they had more WHP in those 3 cars than some dealerships do on the entire lot and one guy said with a straight face that they're probably worth more than a small lots inventory too.
One of those cars holds the 1/2 mile GTR world record right now I think. Ridiculous amount of money and time in it. If I had more money than I knew what to do with it would have a built GTR too
Maybe in another 10-15 years they'll be in my price range

Even tho I haven't posted on this thread (besides this particular post) in 2 years?
I mean, I'm not suggesting that your reading comprehension is low necessarily, but seriously, try rereading my comments. I said the G is not "slow" if you learn how to drive it; I never said it was "fast". Infact, I admitted more than once here that I am not saying it's a "fast racecar". It is very resectable both stock and modded IF you know how to drive it, and the OP should not have any trouble beating any of the cars he listed. There are some people who simply don't know how to drive. I know people who won't let their rpms get past 3k cuz they think it's bad for the car. I know a guy who has a Mazdaspeed 3 who lost a street race to a Scion tc.
So, just to be crystal clear: the G is capable of beating (fairly easily btw) all of the original posters examples.
The G is not slow if you aren't afraid to push it
And finally, I am not saying it's a musclecar or supercar. So, if you are losing races to cars like the OPs original examples, you probably don't know how to drive it.

Not choosing sides here, but I do appreciate your input on my broken valve cover hose the other day. The FSM made is seem like a special type of hose

One of the GTR's blew TWO transmissions this weekend at nearly $100k a pop worth of parts and investment... these people have literally more money than they know what to do with and build the most amazing machines. 1320 has a ton of videos up on YouTube right now from almost the entire event. Some folks have literally millions of dollars invested in these cars it's nuts.

Second, I'm pretty sure you live by me, so if you wanna hit up racelegal at Qualcomm, we can settle this on the strip.

Only because I missed one of your stupid replies. I'm no longer in the sh!thole known as Commifornia, but I'm sure I'd still beat you at Qualcomm if I was there.
