You have no idea 😀
 
Huh, seems Estella's name was on the title of the Eagle Talon too...

LULZ, she's bought cars from the same dealership as me, Bonham Chrysler :laugh:

No. I made 141mph in a 3rd gen Prelude Si with nothing but an intake and ECU mod. 5th gen with Jackson SC and ECU made 155 easy. These were indicated speeds, which can be pretty far off (as much as 10mph easily). If you've run a quality 16V DOHC 4-cylinder lightweight car before, you know that they can be deceptively fast. Regardless, FWD < RWD for anything much over ~220hp.

Some things strike me as funny about this thread. I'm a car nut, so

(1)- It's not hard at all to believe an H22 Accord would do 140. Or to believe that a late-80s C4 Vette (auto?) would be a pretty even game. A boosted H22 Civic/Accord/Prelude would give even C5s a hard time. Mid 12s in the quarter is common (as was my 5g lude).

(2)- The latter years of the C4 got *MUCH* faster, and by the C5, Chevy was dead serious about making them stupidly fast cars 🙂

(3)- If you want serious performance (ie; 10 seconds or better), get a Vette/Stang/Z28 of reputable year/model, and go at it. You can only take FWD 4-bangers so far.

This is pretty close to accurate, I happen to own a H22A4 (*USDM H22A Motor) Prelude with some minor mods. This being said I can tell you even without any forced induction (i.e. no JRSC) that the prelude with standard bolt ons is capable of 150mph, granted this is just about all it has but 150MPH out of a 4cyl 5spd is pretty good IMO.

I also happen to own the same generation of accord that ZJ owns. To this effect, he could probably do 140, but would likely be maxed out, this being said due to the accord weighing in about 200 lbs more than the prelude (I own both). An accord with an H22 swap is fairly quick but at the end of the day the corvette may have similar HP numbers (200 range) but it also has easily 100lb ft more torque all day long. This is what will make the vette walk down an accord/prelude. Especially off the line, while I realize that this did not take place from a stop or a dig(slow roll) even at highway speeds being in your powerband and having 100lb/ft advantage will allow an engine to reach peak power FASTER than an engine with less torque. As torque is the measurement of how quickly an engine spins up to X RPM while under load. Also the Corvette (even the slowest one) weighs in at ~3100-3200lbs, which is the same weight as an Accord, this being said it also has a lower coefficient of drag due to it's lower center of gravity and shape. This being coupled with 100lb/ft more torque = ZJ might be able to _almost_ keep up in that the vette wouldn't blow his doors off from 60-140 but would gain ground quicker than his accord could and thats on acount of having 100-130lb/ft more torque.

One more thing, I know exactly what the engine code is for the Euro-R or Type-S motor that he claims as well as being familliar with the distinguishing parts visible on the outside of the motor (the 220hp version he claims to have) so if he would post a pic of motor in said vehicle it might lend credibility to his statement but I very seriously doubt he has the 220hp version and more likely has a plain jane H22A (200hp 168lb/ft) which is no slouch but isn't what he claims. Thats also all at the crank, which means they put down (on a good day through a good trans/clutch) 160whp, and most guys with a $1000 header (custom made) and $600 cat back exhaust along with a cat, and a hondata stage 3 ecu upgrade (~$800) along with cams (another $600) can put down ~190-200whp. The stock ECU is HORRIBLE about performance mods (esp bolt ons) so on factory ecu no bolt on mods get you much in the way of anything as far as performance without tuning (i.e. hondata or something similar). So he is officially FOS, and nothing more than a ricer that gives other import tuners a bad rap, thanks!

It's all about the Jacksons (if you're white trash 😀 )

It represents the maximum amount of money zane johnson has ever possessed at any given time, which disputes one of the more common personae that he inhabits in his thread.

To re-hash a phrase once used in these pages, ZJ is, in reality, just "regular-ballin'" 😉

It's close to the intersection in this picture and matches the name of the store in this picture.
