_added_ your talking new models… You got me there i’ll admit that. But used hondas in such, was mostly what i was talking about. If your looking for power for cheap na. You got with a honda… ---

> [@CamaroMuscleZ28](#): > > No one really knocked the 03 Cobra for using a power adder to reach 390 HP, as opposed to the 405 HP LS-6 and look how respected the Cobra became. So what if the SRT-4 and SS use power adders if they’re running faster in the 1/4 than the competition. Also, with factory forced induction it makes simple tuning for big gains easier and the car that much more respectable. who dude, beating competition? correct me if im wrong here but ahh… Prelude H Duce Duce Power 200 hp Cobalt SS Power 205 hp well guess your right that supercharger gives it that extra 5… ---

Also, lets just add this… You can buy the bottom of the barrel honda. K, then buy the top of the line motor and swap it. EZ. Tell me you can do it with domestics as ez as you can do with hondas… Dont think so. Heres a quick example. 93 Hatch Blue Book about 3,000 to 3,500 (this is mint condition) K20A2 Swap Everything 8,000 Mounts,motor,tranny(Thats no labor but if your swappin you should be doing it yourself) ^thats a little hight ive seen em for like 6,500 but w/e Your done and running about high 12’s low 13’s. With nothing. Just motor, stock. Yes your not getting nice seats or sporty interior. Your getting a fast “Dependable!” car. Same as all these new ones coming out with half the price. Sure its not new, but who cares? You want to go fast right? ---

> [@starboy](#): > > thats just a quick ref. if it gets into it ill go get specs. so go get your specs I would rather have a power adder from factory if I was going to mod a car. it’s cool that people brag about being N/A and running good times, but in the end, who really gives a fuck how you make the power as long as you can run a good time ---

… I’m not knocking Honda for their motors because they do produce very impressive four bangers without a doubt. However, I can see the benefits of have forced induction from the factory, especially with forged internals like the SS. ---

not so much forged internals as the compression ratio of the motor itself 10:1 forged internals is harder to tune/make power than 7:1 on cast iron ---

And me looking dumb, to you isnt nothing im to worried about. From what I hear about you. **ANYWAY**. Im gonna end it like this cause I have a feeling this is going to go on forever. And its just gonna start getting bad. I support Domestic 4’s all the way, \*shyt i have one. I just dont like seeing that there putting out “ **Somewhat** stock numbers to na imports.” With all this new stuff coming out why do you have to put a power adder on it? You think the companies would be spending more money doing that. Instead of just making a pretty high hp na motor. Yes I know who cares if it got a power adder. To me it does when I see a honda run 9’s thats not fully blown drag car. Or even a mistiu running 8-9s, I see them videos in the muiltmedia section of that one guy. With the totally street mitsu. I dunno thats just my opinion. To add to that A wise man once told me “American cars were made to sell, imports are made to last…” ---
