Funny Race Today. CB7 vs. Chevy Corsica

[Pazzword JDM]

So some high school kid pulls next to me today and revs his oil burnin, exhaust leakin, body work needin, ricer CHEVY CORSICA up at a light. The light turns green and he "takes off", well, he tries... I then proceed to slam the gas to the floor and blow all four of his doors off. He then pulls next to me at the next light and rolls down his window as I'm admiring the park bench bolted to his trunk lid and says..."Well, you got me man." WTF did he expect. People like that need to stick to watching The Fast And The Furious 10+ times a day and hanging pictures of riced out probes and cavaliers on their walls. I mean, wouldn't you be embarassed to drive a car like a Chevy Corsica STOCK, let alone put a huge spoiler on it, and slap stickers all over it. I dont know why I am posting this, Im just really bored I guess. Thought somebody might find this story intersting. LMAO.

VVV Seriously...Why? VVV


Lets dedicate this thread to all the usdm riced up cavaliers, probes, corsicas, berettas, escorts, etc. Post pics if you can find em.

I saw a beretta run 1/4 mile in under 10 seconds.
It had lots of decals, a really long wing, a parachute and wheelie bar. Totally rice.

There's a lot of Beretta's in Altoona, PA that race around the Blvd. You'd be surprised. I actually pulled up next to a Ford Fiesta with a full custom Exhaust on it, with the muffler coming out on a slant 2-3 days ago at Sheetz. Whatever floats their boat, I guess.

It would be different if he pulled up beside you and you had a S2K or something. You have a cb man dont think it totally crazy for a corisca trying to race you. I like that you blew his doors off lol

Good point. I don't mind beatin' up some 6 cylinders with a 4 though. Shit's great.

GM V6s from that era made much less power than same year CBs... they were fucking pathetic, heavy and dinosauric

i fail to see how their 160hp V6's had less power than our 120hp I4's.

Enlighten me.

Those pushrod V6s ran out of breath at higher RPMs. My old GTP was a beast until it just couldn't flow the air anymore!

Those cars have plenty of potential. You generally find Hondas in better condition, because people take care of them. They expect a resale value. Plus, Japanese engines, at least in the 80s and 90s, were often built to tighter tolerances than American engines... resulting in a more efficient and long lasting design.


Just remember that most GM V6s of that era were in some way related to the enine in the Grand National... and we ALL know that car is no slouch!


And to the OP... with no stickers or wing, I would totally drive that car in the picture (is that a Corsica or a Lumina Z26? Looks like a Lumina...)

[jhoff]

my se came with 140hp from fact
my first bonneville le, with the 3.8 came with 165hp from the fact

[deevergote]

They make power. They're archaic designs, so they breathe like crap... of couse, that means they respond well to headwork and a compression increase. The weight of some of those domestic V6 powered cars, as well as the crappy automatic transmissions, make them potential prey for a CB7. Especially now, since they're all quite old...

[Pazzword JDM]

lets face it. the technology in a honda of that era is waay better than the tech in a gm of that era. plain and simple.

thats still only an opinion. and can only be based on a couple of points to be true.

This may be a honda forum, but that doesn't mean the best answer for everything is honda

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_60-Degree_V6_engine

The LG6 ("D-code") was produced from 1990 to 1996. It used throttle-body injection and
iron heads. It produced 120 hp.

The LH0 ("T-code") was introduced in 1988 on the Pontiac 6000 STE AWD. It featured a more exotic (for the time) multi-port fuel injection. While not known for its high RPM power, the LH0 has strong low- and mid-range torque. The 3.1 L engine has retained an excellent reputation for reliability. It was produced until 1994 and was exported in some models. This engine produced 135hp and 180lb/ft of torque from 1988-1989, then upgraded to 140hp and 185lb/ft of torque.

(Olds Cutlass Ciera)- 1989 2.8 2.8 L (173 in³) V6 125 hp (93 kW) and 150 lb·ft (203 N·m)

Never mind that Accords had almost the same interior/cargo capacity, straight line performance and definitely beat those cars in gas mileage.

dont forget about power to weight ratio. old ass chevy corsicas were just a way for chevy to market a crappy-ish car that looked somewhat sporty to white trash redneck hillbilies. hahaha naw but in all reality they arent that great. even with a 1991 f22a1 the technology seems to be more prevelant than a chevy corsica. the only thing that chevy did right was the almost 60 year running corvette. gotta love em

[DriftMaster]

HAGHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAA

That happened to me too... not the race scenario, but the racing a Corsica.

My buddy had a stock Corsica and I had a stock CB7.
Race starts.

....

We are neck and neck.

....

Cars on both lanes coming up!

....

He slams on the brakes and puts his turn signal on. I blow by him and squeeze between car 1 and 2 (a few inches of clearance...MAYBE).

....

I win!


All this going ~180kmh.
