Vehicle Comparison

A guy at work has a 2002 Acura Integra Type S.
My car is a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 M6.

Anyways, I was talking about cars with his brother then all of a sudden he butts in saying how his Integra would just murder me. I asked if his car had any mods done and he said that it was completely stock. He got so worked up that he started challenging me to race him for $1000.

According to http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

2002 Acura RSX Type S
0-60: 6.1
1/4 mile: 14.8

2003 Acura RSX Type S
0-60: 6.7
1/4 mile: 15.1

vs

1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
0-60: 5.7
1/4 mile: 14.2

By the numbers it looks like I should have the advantage (that is, if his car is actually stock). I wouldn't mind racing him but I wouldn't want to do it for money, even if I was at a big advantage. I would do it just to shut him up.

He was just talking so much **** about how his stock Integra could own my Camaro. What do you guys think?

Later on he started to argue with my about Hondas owning Camaros. I just told him Stock for Stock is one thing but when you go Modded vs Modded it all comes down to whoever has the most money.

tell him to STFU and line up. tell him you dont want to take his money. you will roast him. seriously. if your car is in good running condition and has most of the power it left the factory with you will just walk on him.

Its the same thing.

"Now the Integra - formerly the apex predator of the Acura line - has been replaced by a new model called the RSX."

An integra is not even close to being as quick as an RSX and on top of that you are faster than both of em.

Either he isn't 'stock' or he is just like a lot of the import crowd who read "Import Tuner-How to tune and run your mouth, (even with a stock car!!) to scare the domestic guys" and think that just because some guy in Japan poured $100,000 into his RSX and makes an astounding 500hp, he can run around and do the same.

Sounds like just another kid who 'lives his life one quarter mile at a time' and reads too many magazines...

Race him and show him something he will never know..TORQUE!!!
