Beat a modded 3000GT VR4..
 

I dunno if I should even be surprised.. IIRC those things are made out of lead, lmao.

Anyway, I completely walked him from a 3rd gear roll :gay: He was surprised to find out I was turbo (should have been obvious from the FMIC and the PSHSH sounds) and even more surprised that I'm only running 5 psi.

Also, I experienced my first clutch slip today (stock clutch). Stuck it in fifth and hit the redline damn near instantly. Good thing I'm putting the ACT in next week.

I raced a 240sx with a huge FMIC and no BOV with what sounded like a huge turbo. Gobbled like crazy. He couldn't pull away from me even though I bounced off the limiter in first and then shortshifted to third at only 5k rpms. The look on his face was priceless.

I just got my ACT XT with a street disc today. Putting it in this weekend.
I'm tired of not being able to launch above 3k rpms. And yeah, it has slipped a few times.

just start adding them to the list....the more boost, the longer the list gets.

thats because his turbo was running backwards :gay:
he did win a nopi event though :dunno:

if its worth anything, my stock '90 with a whining transmission beat up on an 86 firebird today, should have started from first or second though, starting at the top of third isn't very rewarding

I beat a v6 grand am?

How bout the version with a roots blower on it? My Ex had a fully loaded bonneville SSEI. That thing was a monster. At least that's what I thought until I turboed the miata :P

bonneville/grand prix with a 3.6 SC is just as fast as a 88-93 5.0 Mustang...which we all know are nothing special.

grand ams never had a blower. you're thinking grand prix.

I generally do not instigate street races, however I will usually respond if challenged by something less than a Carerra or a Z8, even if I expect to lose. (I learned recently that an Audi A4 Quattro is not to be taken lightly when the ground is moist)

'Round here we've got a lot of nouveau riche (or nouveau debt) and consequently loads of young (20's - 30's) guys with boring jobs and well-pressed shirts buying new G35s, SCs, TTs, and the like. They seem to make a sport of provoking street races against kids in Hondas with large tailpipes and wire-spoke wheels. I can respect that (dissing punks w/ fartpipes) but every now and then one of these guys finds it necessary to pull alongside my old, stock-looking Miata and blip the throttle once or twice, or come screaming up behind you on a double-lane road, then slow to pace.

Under those circumstances, I just can't resist. It's just too much fun when you look over at the other driver as you gradually inch away from his $65,000 SC430 in your little girly car. 317 ft/lbs and 288 HP sounds like a lot when your Lexus dealer is telling you about it- but so does 3,840 lbs curb weight.

Well said Joe.

Well then consider me slow as that's the fastest car I'd driven till the Miata:gay:

yeah yea yeah :P

i'm running a stock greddy kit with intercooler, and i beat a solstice off a 70mph roll......slowly walked away from him. i felt proud

it's a 3.8L supercharged the series 2 verson of the motor has 240hp 280 tq and with a stripped interior and a 50 shot mine ran a 14.0......

I ran a friend in a 03 or 04 Accord V6 Coupe 6-spd. He had test pipe and intake, dyno'd 216whp/201tq on a Mustang Dyno in 101deg.

We did 4 runs, all from 40, and we were dead even thru 2d and 3d, I would pull 1/2 to 3/4 car in 4th, then he would pull back in 5th till we were even at 130mph.

Ran another friend in a 95 Stang GT who made 310whp. From a 20 roll, he got me by 1.5 cars by 110.

My goal for the car was to beat an automatic C5 and a GXP. Did both at the dragstrip but just enough with my nasty 60 fts. Otherwise, no street racing except friends on long stretches of straight open farm road. They usually win. Racing strangers up here is dangerous for many reasons.

I'm pretty sure I made a c5 guy cry on his way to work one day.

I ended up next to a late model 911 conv't on a freeway onramp that goes from 2-1 lanes. We went from about 20-110mph, with me just barely ahead. The guy and his wife gave me a thumbs up afterwards.

well if were all here to tell good race stories, i beat a 92 integra GSR with a
b18c dual stage vtec......... good god that thing is fast.... i had him all through 4th but as soon as he hit 5th he just skated away...... but its okay cause i beat him when we got to the track a little later

meh, the only cars that try to race me are idiots in trucks or minivans....

I tried to run a 911 carerra on my way home from the CR@the gap last weekend. I figured it would be a good run with me having the boost turned down to 10psi. But dude wouldn't even give me the time of day..... rich bastards :(

I've taken my stock miata with cali. emissions on it to the local 1/8 and won 2/4 races. I thought it was funny being the only umodded car there and taking some wins. But cant wait till next spring to run with the DSM's. Cauz its the fast's cars around here. lol

5.0 mustangs are my bitch.

Really!!!! I got a few 5.0 mustangs for ya.

not to nitpick, but all VTEC is at least "dual stage", and some are 3 stage, so to speak.

spoon p28 vtec

Ok, that's still only two grinds per cam... same as all B series VTECs.

its still a honda. i shit on most hondas around here.

Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't even be discussing Honda valvetrain sheisse but I've owned 3, so I know a thing or two about them.

But I'm cured of my Honda/na/FWD days. Hell I'd sell the SRT to get something non-FWD but I owe too much on it.

in your pants..?

I was on the interstate heading to school one day when this viper rolls up. He gets next to me then goes WOT for a few seconds and pulls away.. So I did the same thing at about the same pace. He stopped so I didnt think he was a dick or anything, so I give the douche the thumbs up and he eyeballs my car and takes off in traffic, there was too many cars so I couldnt catch up and personally didnt want to during 12:00pm traffic, but what a dick..

Today an orange Lamborghini Gallardo(I think) flew past me on the Highway like I was going in reverse! I got goosebumps from the sound of that engine roaring.

I actually managed to catch it with my cellphone, extremely lucky timing on my part.

I beat an integra GSR on the highway downshifting from fifth to third.... i was slowy pully away with my ebay turbo kit i put together..LMAO.. a toyota tercel pulled next to be on a stop light about two months ago smoked me like 20 cars..... i almost shit in my pants! later found there was a built turbo, 3sgte in there...i think it was MR2 motor? what a sleeper!

look what I started...

:P

you just opened yourself up a can of corn.

mmmmmm corn.

That didn't sounds like a blower to me.. pretty sure that's a snail ..

I learned this weekend that a '92 1.8 SOHC Mazda Protege is as fast as my n/a Miata + passenger up to 95. And I'm not gonna live that one down. Damnit I need boost.

nuthins wrong with sohc, my ka24e will kick your miata's ass :bigtu:

notice the slow stock one.

thank god people on this forum dont get in a sissy fit when we talk about raceing *cough*MNET*cough*

and it was a non supercharged grand am/prix/whatever

last thursday This middle aged man revved at me in his brand new vette . . . :vash:
I was just in a WTF state . .
like seriously?
what did he expect to happen, maybe he needed an ego boost or something,
but i wasn't about to give it to him that easily.
The light turned green and i performed the fastest, 'no peel' take off ive ever done to prove a point,
HE, on the other hand, thinks that redlining and dumping the clutch is the best thing to do,
needless to say despite all the smoke he was making, i smoked his ass

Vette - :nono: Me in my stock NB- :bigtu:

And our cars run 16s stock, whooptee shit.

And yes, it's a snail (two). Fastest on a blower was in the 10s, but nobody bothers with blowers anymore, all the fastest cars have been converted to turbo.
