Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2004To EVERY Honda (and Other "Rice Car") Owner...
What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a Camaro? Do you think you will actually burn one with your wimpy 4-cylinders, as compared to a V-6 or V-8 Camaro? You guys must like getting burned- and what is the deal with reving your little 4-cylinder engines at stop lights? Are trying to sound impressive or are you just trying to keep your engine running? By the way, just in case, you DIDN'T know, adding some stickers and a spoiler to your car DOESN'T qualify as a "performance upgrade" in any way- all it REALLY does, however, is give everyone a good laugh whenever they see your joke of a car on the street. LONG LIVE THE CAMARO alt.autos.camaro Okay Mr. Camaro guy. The stickers that they have on their car are probably performance upgrades under the hood so they are relevant u dumb a.s. If they're not then u are okay to assume that the Honda belongs to some wanna-be poser. But I hope u know that the fastest Civic ran below a 10 second in the quarter mile?? I believe it was somewhere around 7 seconds. Which is I believe around where ur Camaro runs... so watch ur mouth and get ur facts straight before ever confronting the import scene again, Mr. Potato Head. > What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a > Camaro?

WHAT...they don't run on rice??? > i saw a civic beat a dodge viper in a race once. > I would also like to say that calling honda's rice cars is racist. I would also like to say, what does a Dodge Viper have to do with anything? I am referring to a Honda vs. a Camaro (of any model- stock or not.) About the term "rice car" being "racist-" I ask you to remember, that racism generally refers to the races (as in black and white- just in case, you didn't know)- not to vehicles. "Right is right, and right always wins." > About the term "rice car" being "racist-" I ask you to remember, > that racism generally refers to the races (as in black and white- just > in case, you didn't know)- not to vehicles. we are all members of the human race and we better damn well start treating each other as such or this whole gig's gonna go up in smoke yielding yet another victory for the shadow people. > "Right is right, and right always wins." ...sounds like something W could put into his new song "highway to baghdad" by GB/DC sung to the tune "highway to hell" by AC/DC. >What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a >Camaro?

Just run right out there and try to buy a new one. A few leftover V6 rental cars but that's it. When's the last time you saw a Honda in a rental fleet? They don't do that. <rofl> > >What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a > >Camaro?

STi I would take issue in that the original Camaro was a better designed/built vehicle than the Mustang. I just could have not a bit of respect for any vehicle that incorporated the trunk floor as the top of the gas tank... <shudder> SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 >I would take issue in that the original Camaro was a better >designed/built vehicle than the Mustang. I just could have not a bit of >respect for any vehicle that incorporated the trunk floor as the top of >the gas tank... I figure there were a number of reasons the Mustang beat it. These included ease of getting in and out as well as outward visibility. The smaller overall size (real or imagined) and real storage area. One might recall that the majority of Mustangs were V6's and that of those the bulk went to ladies as owners and the rest to rental fleets. The Camaro may have been faster, and it may have done some things better, but in day to day use it fell short and the lack of sales reflected that. > >I would take issue in that the original Camaro was a better > >designed/built vehicle than the Mustang.

Uh, I don't think that V6's were a factor in the 1960's or a good portion of the 1970's for that matter...

In the 60's and 70's there were still Camaro's.. ;) In the '60's there were still Camaro's worth buying! icruzn@webtv.net (98' Camaro) wrote in news:24278-4174BC80-301@storefull- 3178.bay.webtv.net: > What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a > Camaro?

Here's what an idiot decided to post on alt.autos.honda. I've never read or posted on the camaro newsgroup, nor will I likely do it again, but will you please keep your trolls in their cage? The Camaro newsgroup can be trolled as well, and to quote someone from the Honda newsgroup, "I pass camaro's all the time in my wimpy cr-v. They are up on lifts, jacks, junkyards, on blocks, etc.. Yep, got to love those camaro's, they can pass anything on the street except a service station." Cosmin > What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a > Camaro? Do you think you will actually burn one with your wimpy [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > alt.autos.camaro In case you guys are wondering, I posted that message in alt.autos.camaro to see what those people think when they're being trolled. Cosmin Hate to bust your bubble, ph3w1, but I know a guy who juiced up his "wimpy" 4-cylinder Honda Civic to where it was putting out 300hp AT THE WHEELS! Last time I checked, a 1998 Camaro Z28 only had about 285-300hp, AT THE ENGINE. Then, you factor in the HUGE difference of the power-to-weight ratio, and I'm sure that 300hp Civic could dust any Camaro, anytime, any place. Also, as noted by another poster in this NG, Camaros are NOT known for their reliability. They tend to fall apart around 80,000 miles, if not less. My 1990 Civic has 190,000 miles, purrs like a kitten, uses almost no oil, and is still going strong, even though I drive it very aggressively. I've never seen, or even heard of a Camaro reaching that many miles without having to have a complete overhaul on virtually all major parts, even under NORMAL driving conditions. (Engine, transmission, clutch, etc.) I'm sure you and everyone knows what FORD stands for (Fixed Or Repaired Daily; Found On Road Dead, etc) but let me tell you what CHEVROLET stands for: Cracked Head Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time If you want a REAL race car, buy an Acura NSX and witness the awesome power of Honda muscle...that is, if you can afford it after wasting all your money on trying to keep your precious piece-o-crap Camaro from falling apart. An Acura NSX possesses a 3.2L V6 that pumps out 290hp WITHOUT turbo or supercharging. Has Chevy ever done that with a V6? NOPE. Why? Because their engines SUCK @$$ compared to Honda's engines. Do yourself a favor and get lost while your Camaro still actually runs... <scroll to bottom> > What is the deal with you Honda owners trying to take on and burn a > Camaro?

Well, he did have a problem with axles literally exploding. The clutch and tranny were heavy-duty enough to take it, but he couldn't find any axles that could take the punishment. ;-) Jonathan |
