OKay, so I'm acquainted with a guy I go to school with who owns a 2000 Integra GS. They're nice cars, I really like the styling, but they're everywhere.

He's got a whole setup for his car and whatnot and is working on his exterior styling because he is already confident with his stock performance. It's a 2-liter inline-four, about 140 hp. (Where have I seen these specs before? wink1.gif )

He claims a 1/4 run somewhere in the high 14's. I call bullshit. Is that possible? I don't think even GS-Rs are that fast! Which reminds me, he claims that the GS isn't THAT much slower than the GS-R. Puhleaseeee, give me a break!

I have absolutely no trouble keeping up with him when he's admittedly at open throttle, and it's clear to me, IMO, that I have more power than he does.

One thing I do believe is that it weights under 2K lbs.. just by how light/agile it appears.

Bah, Tegs.. nana.gif

There is absolutely NO WAY it can weight less than 2000lb, it should be around 2500 if not a tad more... the civic hatches weigh less than Tibs, like around 50~70lb, I don't think this Integra is close to that, it should be the smae 50~70lb lighter than the Tib at the most.

The 2000 Integra has a 1.8L I4 pushing 140hp.
A 98' Integra GS-R runs 1/4 mile times around mid 15's.
His Integra weighs around 2,600 lbs.

Your right, utter bs.

Hehe.

I bet his GS runs somewhere in the 16's. But since he also sucks at driving stick, it probably runs a 17.

Oh yeah, he took off his stock airbox lid or something of the sort to make his car louder. You can see the filter now sitting in the box.

Soon to be r-i-c-e-r. owned.gif

His car sux0rs, and all the big talking makes his car sux0rs even more.

Under 2,000 lbs my (_|_)

If he bought that car and someone said he would be running high 14's, he should be saying" rippedhand.gif " very soon...
