Default is it plausable.

ok check this out i was approached by a guy at work asking me about my ta, how fast it was bc he has heard stories etc... So at the end of the story i asked him what he had and he said he had a 2004 kia spectra with a rebuilt moter running 11.2 in the quarter so i have about 1 month tell i race this guy.

let me know what you guys think about this is it bs or realistic

unless hes got crazy money in a V8 swap, or has out some sort of massive turbo motor in there, hes talking all kinds of BS.

Since when does it need a V8 swap to be fast? It could have a built turbo 4 cyl.

Hyundai valve covers fit on the 4G63 so I thought it would be funny to swap the cover, I used to tell people I swapped a Hyundai motor into my car and that is why it is so fast. Some people will believe anything

Odds are though, this guy is all talk or the 11.3 was in the 1/8 with a tail wind...

Next time post this in the Bench racing section of the lounge OP.
The threads with no race in the kill section are getting old.

Now that this is moved..........


Your co-worker is FOS. He probably slapped on some BS parts, beat another ricer that claims to run mid 11s.
