Hondafags are more comfortable throwing away 5,000 dollars pushing it at the limit than you are to throw 15k+ away approaching the limit.

>>16769740
>>16769761
if you can only drive in a straight line and get beat by civics..maybe you are shit at driving?

>>16769761
This and time to accept you suck at driving young man.

>>16769740
>half the power
>only 2/3rds the weight if that

power to weight ratio and lack of risk like what >>16769761 said is what makes this such a tight race. Plus, as much as I hate Honda's even though I own one and just registered for Drag Week in one, they *do* have the capability to handle quite well for not much money.

>I watched every episode of Initial D therefore I definitely know how to drive on mountain passes

>>16769777

praise kek

>>16769740
Learn to drive, dragfag. Also say good bye to your car.

won't matter much after the asteroid impact

>>16769740
Civic sI can be good. Kept up pretty well with my vette. Of course I was just docking around.

>>16769837

what kind of road was it? light weight cars seem to be king in mountain passes. have seen integras chew out porches

>getting shit on by civics in twisties with a fucking STI

You might be the least-skilled car owner to have ever mistakenly considered himself a driver

>implying most STI owners wont get shit on by any civic driver who specialises in touge driving.

the problem with most car enthusiasts today is that they spend more time upgrading and making their car look nice than racing. And when they do race, its straight line "racing" like highway pulls, or red light drag racing, etc


especially the fags that buy power, like sti and mustang owners.

>>16769949
I'm just saying the car is more than capable in corners and OP is a failure. I could probably beat him with my sister's 10 year old Outback.

>>16769949
An STI of any year is inherently more capable than any Honda understeer machine.

>>16770013
What about the NSX

>>16770037
I did say understeer machine. The S2000 is fine as well. Even if it's just an expensive Miata that wishes it was a Z3

>I beat slow cars where the engine does all the work but when skill is involved I get rekt

Yes it's definitely the car's fault.

>>16769740
>is horsepower a meme?
No
your driving a shit

You might be surprised at the power to weight ratio of some of those cars.

I bet I could beat STIs easily in my Celica on twisties, 180hp 2500 lbs.

>>16769846
Curvy. Was in Joshua tree in cali. We were going down hill and alot of curves. He surprised me. Almost as quick as the miata with us but the breaking and acceleration killed them. It made me love my vette even more.

learn to drive
aquire skills
don't be a passive

also, if it struck your mind that hp is a meme, you ought to get a bus pass

>>16769953

it depends what kind of corners though m8. laps times are just that. motorway lap times. mountain pass roads are a different animal. lower weight is way more advantageous in the mountains, especially on the downhill.

something with less than 250hp can easily keep up with a 500hp car if its light.

spooky truth anon

>drag week

faggot

>>16769740
typical subafag

>>16769740
What exactly is the problem? Understeer?

>>16770994

it just feels that i lose grip before they do. maybe i need better tires?

>>16770037
The original NsX?

Most people can't drive it that well approaching the limit. Even professionally trained drivers, or those with track experience. It's set up to be excessively return to neutral, so you have to be someone like Senna, who could keep it out of neutrality in order to get more performance out of it.

>>16769740
The STI is designed to be thrashed on dirt/gravel/mud roads.

The rest of it is mass and your skill
