I guess i can post this considering there is now time limit. A few months back before coming on to this site I had a very interesting challenge. an old friend of mine had just become a police officer and said that he thinks the Camaro could beat my car. The Camaro was a V6 auto as well. and at that time i had a running 1989 Mazda RX-7(in which i still own, but the apex seal has gone completely bad. when i move i will replace the 13b rotary with the turbo II version from 91). the only thing that i have done to the car was an HKS Single out exhaust which lowered weight by 37.4lbs but at the same time lowered my horsepower to the wheels by 1.7hp. We raced at that track, which is a 1/2mile long and i was only able to catch him off the line. After that he walked away. About a week later i purchased the Accord with a 4spd auto and a 137455mile motor F22a1. I replaced the motor with another F22a1 98329miles on it and a 5spd manual transmission also the matching gauge cluster from that car. I did a few mods custom cat-back exhaust that i made at my shop, 8.5msd wires, msd distributor cap, converted the coil to external and used an msd blaster 2, and a Msd 6al(i am a big msd fan). kept the stock tires, which i have no clue what the were because if i remember correctly they were all different. I installed a short ram intake, and made a set of 4-2-1 headers. Well i ended up hooking up again with the same guy at the same place. This time he catches me off the line and i am reletively quick off the line, if i can't beat you in the end i will beat you off the line, and he started to pull on me hard well when i reached about 65mph i started to catch up to him. When we reached the 3/8mile marker i was right beside him. as we crossed our we were side by side. if there was no limit on the accord and a little longer distance then i would have beaten him. Now the purpose of this is to state that i Have beaten a V6 camaro with the so called police package and in theroy and times a 1989 RX-7 with a aftermarket exhaust. I do not race on the public roads at less it is a prepared event and closed off, i race track only. I like to keep it safe and i have a family to think about as well as my job.
the reason why i said one of them completed because he wants to go again upgainst my accord because he feels as though we never really had a chance to go for it in that half mile. the two things that stops me from doing it is that he wants to go against me in my new configuration and the location of where it is. i have moved since then and will be moving again. So when the time comes i may go back for it.
