Nick1234 Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Ok so i was driving around a lot with my friends this weekend, and they consistantly can kick my ass in any race. Its great when a base, 4 cylinder honda accord and a 2003 dodge neon beat you. I always do good till 35, then she shifts, and the car falls on its face. I hate it! It sucks like hell. Oh well, hopefully i can sell her in this comming summer. Nick Quote
Shaners Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 The new cars have some serious power!!! A good freind of mine thinks that his wife's '03 Accord V-6 could probably easily outrun the "massaged" V-8 in his Camaro (sold)!!!! Unless you want to put a chip or some custom programming into it, then you will be beat by todays "econobox's". Quote
Nick1234 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Posted December 22, 2003 a chip will not affect my gear ratios though so what good will a chip do. Quote
93GTP Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 2nd isnt so bad with the 3.4 cars, but 3rd is garbage. I can't wait to swap in my getrag 284, i fucking hate the 4t60e. Quote
SmokesGTP Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Third is fucking garbage you got that right. Quote
rudefyet Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 so is your mom j/k lost to a neon cause of my second...but no biggie i'll have a tgp soon enough Quote
topless94style Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 The cool thing is though, when our cars keep up with or beat new cars. That is something to be happy about. i took a 2003 civic and a 99 maxima(from a roll) and all cars are stock. Not bad for a 10 yr old car with pms. Quote
Nick1234 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Posted December 22, 2003 See the thing is with my 3.1, i hold my own till 35 mph. When i race the neon, and the integra, and the accord, i am actually winning, i am winning all the way through 1st, but then, she shifts to second, which is such a tall gear (35-70mph) i lose. I know what you mean though canadian badass, if i had a 3.8 in say an impala or monte carlo, i would spank their ass all day long, but they are running little 4s. Quote
Nick1234 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Posted December 22, 2003 282 tranny would sure be the answer, but i don't know if i like this car enough to do that. Just save the money, and get something else. So basically im just complaining. Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 when my car stopped throwing code 43, and before it got fat, I'd own any Neon or Civic I saw on the road the only Neon I had a slight amount of trouble with had turbo on it. 1st and 2nd on the DOHC are done pretty good in the Auto... not as good as they should, but decent, and third is.... adequate... 1st goes to 70, 2nd goes to 140, 3rd will probably go to 210, it's not really the gears at that point, it's that now, aero dynamics are now making a difference...
