First Race today. If you want to call it that. :roll:

Acura Integra vs HHR.

Smoked him.
And he had CF hood with chrome hood pins (+25 HP)
Stainless canister muffler (+40 HP)
Type R Stickers all over the place (+5 HP for each sticker)

:one:

Not that the HHR is any speed machine, but really, why do they even try????

I'm still trying to figure that out. :confused: I think it's all about making the car as distasteful, bright, and loud as posible. :eek: There are a few ballsy imports out there but they are few and far between. :roll: Smoke every import you see for America. :thumb:

Did he have a big wing on the back (to lift the front tires on his FWD car!) :D

Congrats! :beer: Show 'em whose boss out there! :thumb:

No. Believe it or not, there was no airplane wing on it. I am sure he'll go get one now though. Those boost your HP by at least 50! Then maybe he'll hunt me down for a re-match. I say, "Bring it!"

Mansfield, huh?

And Redbird, South Dallas, Deep Ellum, Carrolton, North Dallas, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite (oh, what pretty eyes you have!). Just a few.

I spent some time in the LSS - good people! :thumb:

Yeah, It is all just one big cluster -> DFW And yes, just about everyone around here is just a "good ole boy"

LOL!!! Talk about anti-rice. Id never do 95% of the stuff considered rice, but there are certain aspects i like about some of it. The extra hp you can get from stickers is amazing to me.

I added a chevyhhr.net window decal(I put it right under the rear spoiler so I think it's doing something to reduce rear drag even more) and it has added horsepower and kept kittens from being killed...

p.s. jonyyb I only got two magic beans in my envelope when others on here have reported they got three is there anything that can be done?

Oh yeah! I haven't put my chevyhhr.net sticker on yet. Probably will tonight. Keep remembering at the wrong time/place. As long as i get my sticker on before he wants to race again with the wing, I should still be able to win.

CHEVYHHR.NET sticker (+95 HP)... at least that's how we all feel :bow:

i once a own a teg ls but i never add sticker or add a annoying exhaust. kept it stock. dont judge a car by its cover thats one thing about hondas/acuras. ive seen some clean honda/acura out there that are pretty quick for n/a.

"honda/acura are so easy to steal. makes me not want to get one."

Word. I raced a GSR powered hatch at the track that would have cracked my ass if I was stock.

Also, the fart cannon mentioned by the OP may very well be worth 40hp if you're talking about a turbo car upgrading from restrictive stock 1.25" exhaust.

And just for the general information of some others in this thread, the necessity of a wing has absolutely nothing to do with drivetrain configuration. I agree that big ricer wings are stupid for street cars, but saying that only rwd cars benefit from wings is just plain ignorant. Any road race car with a properly tuned suspension setup will benefit from more aerodynamic downforce, as long as it is not causing excessive drag. FWD cars can be tuned for oversteer, which can then be controlled by aerodynamic downforce.
