So a buddy of mine started talking about his little camaro rs and I got to thinking that my CRX was running pretty damn fast...so I challenged him to a race! There's $20 riding on it too! I've got a '88 CRX Si with a b18 and a cat back exhaust with an intake tube. The car is pretty damn light and pretty damn fast. My buddy has a '97 camaro rs with a k&n filter and he says a little exhaust work too. WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD WIN???? I think my CRX can take him!!! LETS HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS!!!:hithead:

Well I didn't put any money on the race. My friend put $20 on me to win and my other buddy with the RS took $20 for himself to win.

If your crx runs faster than a 15.3 in the 1/4, then you got him. My friend has a 97 camaro with flowmaster 80's, and a kN filter, and that's as fast as he could run with a decent R/T.

lol @ all of you. a 97 RS has a gen II v6 which produces only 160 hp and crappy torque.

The crx has more power and half the weight. that RS weights in around 3500+ lbs and with a shitty engine. it runs maybe 17s-18s.

06-16-2007, 04:42 PM
If you don't smoke the camaro you deserve to have your car crushed.:hithead: lol. I raced a friend of mine that had one with my old 2.2 cavalier and would beat him everytime.

Actually n00b, a 97 RS Camaro will have 200 HP and 225 TQ

1995 Chevrolet Camaro 3800 7.4 15.7

With a good driver and a 5 speed car you should be able to see a 15.7 or so on a pretty stock RS
the auto cars are generally 16+ in the 1/4 due do the difference in gearing

07-11-2007, 12:43 PM
new here, but i call bullshit on that one. i'm a domestic guy that's just getting into imports, but there are plenty of slightly modded ss camaro's hitting LOW 13's. sounds like he was just fucking with you. i used to have plenty of people that THOUGHT i was racing them in my '64 chevelle but that is because it ALWAYS sounded like that. 4.56 gears and a 3800 stall will do that.

back on topic though, your b18 crx should STOMP the 6 cyl. camaro hands down. no worries:)

BS :devil:

on subject though you will easily beat the V6 Camaro my friend had one back when I had a crx with the Mini me done w I/H/E and I would win every time we raced. We would race when he would add a new part on to his car then.... He would cry because he could never beat me.

I ran the CRX at Firebird last night. It was my first time running down the strip and using the christmas tree, but I managed to do a pretty decent job I think. My fast time was on my 5th and final run at about 9:30. I ran a 15.949 @ 85.60 MPH. Think that would be enough to show that RS what's up? I think so.

08-19-2007, 08:53 PM
I *thought* the V6 Camaros did low 16's which actually could be close race if you mess up or he catches a better reaction time, etc. Historically a drag race is the person who gets to the QM marker first w/o red lighting. If you suck at the tree it's very possible you could run a 16.0 vs his 16.3 and you'll still loose if you have a .900 reaction time and he has a .500 reaction (i.e. perfect reaction).

FYI - The V8 camaros are relatively quick. The SS model straight off the dealership lot with an automatic will run a 14.0 all night long with even a rookie driver just flooring it off the line. With better tires high 13's. With a mods 12's on street tires are possible.

As much as we (in general - including myself) bash domestics and V8's they're faster than the imports will likely ever be. The most extreme imports are running in the 6's (maybe 7's)? Hell all motor V8's run 5's and the blown stuff is mid 4's.

There's no reason an "import" manufacturer can't run those times but it's going to take a motor with lots of displacement (i.e. Toyota Tundra V8 twin turbo charged in a tube frame dragger???). I think the generalization of an "import drag car" though is small displacement 4 cylinder though.

FYI - V8 camaros, 98+ run 13's any night of the week. SS's will run mid to low 13's. There is even a bone stock SS that has gone 12.9

08-23-2007, 04:16 PM
That's right, my bad...

It was a Camaro Z28 (automatic) guy I met that didn't even have plates on the car yet it was so new that ran like five 14.0xx QM passes in a row one night several years ago at FIR. There was also an Camaro SS that did low 13's in bone stock trim. Anyone know what the V6 Camaros will do?

08-24-2007, 09:42 PM
Not sure about the older V6's, but I saw a 5-speed '99 V6 Firebird run consistent 15.3's stock.

09-20-2007, 07:07 PM
well, i have a 91 hatch with a b18a1 block and a 3rd gen LS head. it has cams, cam gears, dual valve springs, STR fuel rail, and fuel pressure regulator with a b17 tranni. It may be more modded then yours but yours is still lighter so you should do pretty good. My friend's V6 accord did 15.2 on the track and i beat him by a little over a car and a half from a stop. RS camaros get spit on everyday by my hatch. it's up to your driving man. . if you can manage to launch high and let off(because of wheel spin) then the torque from that LS should be able to tear him up of the line! and that stock LS tranni should be able to stay ahead in third and 4th gear too!

this is a bit slow for this car i imagine, my eg coupe i could muster up best at a 15.3 with a b16. and i know i should be dipping into the 14's (with 2.3 seconds to the 60)

fmx_dbc
10-27-2007, 12:46 PM
yeah my car ran 15.9 before it passed emissions. I bought new ECU and a bunch of other stuff. Bought a header and ran straight pipe to the muffler, no cat. LOUD!!! might even be able to get close to the 14's now.

a bone stock v6 camaro/firebird will do mid to low 16's bone stock. and i hope the b18 crx can beat a v6 camaro.. i'm sorry if you lose. now a LT1 or LS1, your luck my not be so good.

01-05-2008, 08:44 PM
If it was an LT1 then I'd say you don't stand a chance, but since it's a six and those cars aren't light, you should take him.
