If you wanted something fast enough to scare you...your way off with the money you spent........you get a lot of car for a good price. You want something scary...get off your wallet.

There are not a lot of them out there are some sneaky guys out there. A guy I know was talking crap to this Honda at the last test n tune, so they raced Honda ran 9's just destroyed his corvette.

Alright, there are a couple dozen deleted posts and a number of infractions handed out. Why? Because a handful of people seemingly forgot that political commentary is not allowed on Camaro5.

If it gets forced into this discussion again, the thread will be closed.

First of all I like the car, did not expect this car to be fast stock and I was not disappointed, but it will be some day when like you so eloquently put it "get off my wallet". Thank you for the kind advice I truly appreciate it.

And I gave it to you free....you didn't have to get off your wallet....nothing personal. I just think we are spoiled with how well made cars are.

Oh I did, his retort was "everything I say is true" I just laughed it off. They all talked about how fast their cars were but neither of the 2 were willing to prove anything. They just "knew" they were faster.

Considering the fifth-gen camaros ARE IMPORTS (wrt American drivers), I fail to see how we would have any ground to stand on.

Wait how does his crx have 265hp? If it does then technically it could hang with mustangs and Camaros based on its power to weight alone. But its pics/vids/slips or it didn't happen.

Also super bs on the Optima being able to hang with the crx or Camaro or mustang.

I know about the optima, I told him my V6 would beat the damn optima.

He said it was a STOCK CRX, the kids a douche bag basically. I was just laughing at them because they were claiming their stock cars can hang with anything. They had no proof other than "it's my word and I don't lie" and i was an idiot because apparently turbos don't cost $3-4000, which they do as i provided a link.
