Drake said:Yeah i heard the same thing about HP ratings back in the day. Didn't they say that the stingray had like 190hp or something like that. Low balling it to lower rates and so they could compete in certain racing classes.

I got the idea because of a refferance he made to some win by "Daddy-o". It wasnt till later I realized that was the guys last name.
vhawwwdrake said:Our family (2 sons and I) love cars. When my son turned 16 i bought him a CRX and for his senior project we did a motor\tranny swap on it etc. About a year later I bought a 80 vette. When his little CRX smoked my Corvette I was obviously both surprised (ya think) and very curious at the same time. Over the next couple years he convinced me that the old saying 'no replacement for displacement' was a myth of by gone days. So last week I sold my Corvette and bought a 94 Canadian model Civic EX and me and the boys are planning out what\how to build it to replace my beloved old American toy. There is enough info in this site to keep me busy for a long time. Thanks to all who post.
