Lemming Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just wondering, who else is running a NA 4-banger in TTB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAC Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Haha, if that's the massive 3.0-liter it doesn't really count as being a 4-cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemming Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Haha, if that's the massive 3.0-liter it doesn't really count as being a 4-cyl. Yes, it does have a 3L 968 variocam engine, but hey, it still only has 4 pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I imagine a few Honda Challenge cars would fit the class... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slink Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 i have a stock na 2.2L honda in ttb . no where near the power of that 3.0l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthTT Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 i have a stock na 2.2L honda in ttb . no where near the power of that 3.0l Oh, you're not competitive at all in that underpowered honda. Are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastSaleen Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 i have a stock na 2.2L honda in ttb . no where near the power of that 3.0l Stock? lol - beats my Saleen all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastSaleen Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah, I knew that. Honestly, I took second to a stroked Mustang GT (stroked to a 342) by less than a second when I borrowed a 135hp 4cyl Plymouth Laser at BeaveRun. It's very possible to be competitive in TTB using a 4cyl car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slink Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 hey brian, how did the race go on sunday, i left at noon because of the 10 hour drive home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastSaleen Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 My car couldn't race due to the hit I took on Staurday - too much damage to the left rear suspension. As you probably already heard - Eric flipped his Miata. Race B was close and exciting, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemming Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 i have a stock na 2.2L honda in ttb . no where near the power of that 3.0l It is a fun little car, can't tell you how many times V8 owners have come over and asked me if I stuffed an LS? in the car. I always reply that it just has a Porsche 4 banger in there I hope to be under 2300 lbs with driver next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slink Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 2300 lbs. wow. i have to weight 2855lbs. i do like the sound of 9,000 rpm with the little 4 cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't weight that now, more in the range of 2650. Next year I'll be running GTS challenge. If I stay in TT then I'd likely be bumped to TTA.
