Default So a little turbo colt beat my LS3 *Vid*

Apparently it traps 122. He gets nice jump and I chase but props.. a little car like that you do not expect to be that fast! I bet fair fight he'd pull me up top.

The only even race and you miss 3rd gear lol. If he traps 122 i dont see why you wouldnt stick with him up top with your mods you should be mid 120s.

It only weighs 2,600 lbs. Not sure how much power he's pushing but enough to make it something I don't want to be next to at high speeds. That little car wasn't meant to go that fast.

Probably either a full 4G63T swap or a 4G61T with a 4G63 head.

My best friend has got the 61/63 combo, and even with the stock TINY turbo, at 20psi it makes over 270 to the wheels.
(Stock bottom end, basically just EVO 8 injectors, a Walbro pump, and an SAFC).

Fun little car.

I bet the car in the video makes a bit more than that.

Wow...that's a stock appearing turbo. By no means large.

Properly massaged, they can make over 400whp, but most tend to be in the low 300whp range.

Wonder if that means he was running meth or race gas and higher boost then? His car being maybe 500lbs lighter than the C6, would most likely need to be making high 400's to pull him like that!

InsomZ: I hear ya on not wanting to be next to something that unstable at high speeds! Been near taken out enough times from guys that couldnt drive there torque steering FWD turbo cars. BUT, at higher speeds is the only place you could expect to walk that tiny little square car!

Never thought I would see a fast Colt.... never ever....

Colts weigh just 2100 lbs in hatch form (the sedan weighs about 2600)... and this guy probably had some form of weight reduction...

Maybe it's just because I'm used to the DSM community, but fast Colts aren't really THAT rare, especially with some of them coming with turbos stock (4G61T), and the 4G63 being a fairly simple swap.

x2, your bound to come across one ricer among the bunch who knows what theyre doing and their cars usually look like ****. My buddy had an early 90s talon like 1992TsiAWD (not that yours looks like **** lol) and it would roll out w/ awd, and he was always lookin for f-bodies and vettes

Nice video, that little bugger moved out! I'm gonna have to guess that it traps higher than he said as well. Probably a case of him giving you the last trap speed he has and hasn't been to the track with the "new mods" yet.

Yeah he said ~400 and he weighs 2600. I ran him last night and he said I had 2 cars on him when I shut down.

I love cars like that. Being the underdog is awesome. We all thought I'd need to spray him but I got him on motor. Nice guy.
