These guys obviously think their swap motor imports are untouchable. More times than not, there are tons of claims backed up by absolutely nothing. Occasionally you will run into a truly impressive import that will perform but its still few and far between in my opinion.

It gets worse in the honda crowd because they seem to all fuel their own made up hp numbers and stories. For all you know, the guy claiming 268whp could have just beaten a car that was supposedly making 250whp (as quoted by that owner) but in fact...neither is making anything withing 50hp of that number. This is just for "an instance" but you see where I'm going with it. I would run one of their cars from a stop and a roll if you want. You do not have a slow by any means so see how it stacks up.

Back when I was only with a filter/exhaust this kid with a modded crx "shifting at 10k" would talk all kinds of crap and spout its times and what not. When we finally lined up, I left him 6 cars back to 110...suffice to say he had nothing to say and his buddy told me he was giving it all it had. Then again I ran into some well built and non-riced out hondas on rt 1 in my dads 00 vette. We never got a clean run but it would have been neck and neck if not with him pulling a bit on that car.

Good luck with laying the smack down.
