Yep nittos, and them go hand him his *** for sure. I had the same sort of deal about a year ago with a wanna be badass ricer. But he was built bottom end, turboed, front mount, N20 75 shot, and still 5 cars back to 75. Go do dome raping, i too had the fastest car at my HS. ENJOY! He while your at it put like 20 bucks down just for fun and some fuel in the old tank!

The TT 3000GT is faster 0-60 but slower in the 1/4 by a fraction.
This is both do to the rev of the V6 and the all wheel drive traction
advantage.
For a 1999 3000GT VR4
Acceleration: 0-30 mph: 1.70 sec. 0-60 mph: 5.00 sec.
1/4 mile: 13.44 sec. @ 101.79 mph.
For a 1999 Camaro SS
Acceleration: 0-30 mph: 2.27 sec. 0-60 mph: 5.27 sec.
1/4 mile: 13.42 sec. @ 106.15 mph.
You should however smoke any factory Acura by around a second
going from 0-60. The Type-R and RSX at 195HP and 200HP respectively only
make 140 in torque and run a 6.2 0-60 on a good day.

You have to be fast enough to catch Gray before you can question him.

Heres whats up those cars are absolute junk no matter what you do to them they cant get out of the 13's my buddy had one with a turbo and nitrouse i dunno the details but i know he dont **** around when it comes to cars, although an integra is ****** around. but unless you hear the guy roll up and it sounds like hes got a ls1 swap with the sweet sound of all our exhauts, then you got nuthin to worry about. **** ill put in ricer terms "ten large" on you and split the winnings.
LOL
Dont waste your gas

Default Hmmm

It will cost me more money in gas to race this fool ... *theoretically* then his entire exhaust system costs... he can go buy a foldgers can and get 30 HP so unfair ... Ehhh if this fool ever gets his *** in line i will destroy him and represent
I would have to say i would be quite impressed to see a LS1 swapped into a acura integra... where the hell would you put it...

If you can take Darin's VR-4 I'd be pretty amazed...hes done a lot more work than you have...I don't think you'd have much of a chance especially to 60 like these guys have pointed out...And you should be glad that Tylers MR2 Turbo isn't around anymore because he could probably hand your *** to you...

Should i be worried or should i just go there and hand him his ***? Cause i know if i get a close race or he somehow beats me I WILL NEVER hear the end of it... especially since i think i have the fastest car in the school. Oh one other question at 120 MPH if you put a LS1 on cruise what does it rev?

Oh and if i put this in wrong forum I apologize for the mistake.

So you don't know whether or not to be worried (meaning you're unsure of his mods). Here are three ways to find out the answer to your question:
1) Arrange to go for a ride w/ a friend who likes to race. Then get your friend to challenge this person in the Acura while you lay low in the passenger seat.... see how he fares and make your judgment from that.
2) Or, if he does the weekend dragstrip scene, just observe him at the 1/4 mile track (the legal way) and see what his Acura does.
3) Honestly, though, after a little 1-on-1 discussion w/ this Acura guy, you should be able to tell what he's got (and if he's BS'ing about his mods.) And who knows.... you might even get the opportunity to look under his hood!

Rule: Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer!

Run him soon, and post about how bad you beat him. I don't have much of a doubt that you will win, and if...if...if you lose I don't think it will be by much. If I were anywhere near you I'd run you in my Eclipse (fwd even) for a warm up...she's just mildly modded
