If the car was pretty stock besides the turbo/SC and exhaust its very possible. Those cars only had 225 FWHP stock.

Raced some dude in a newer Porsche 911 turbo convert, when my car was running pretty decent. Did a 30 to about a 70 roll, and had him by about a car. I was happy with that one.

Did that a few years ago to some teenage kid in a crappy Sentra SE-R SpecV when my car was stock.

Kid had been driving like a dick whenever he got near me to get my attention, so I knew he was gonna go at the first light we caught.

Let off at the beginning of 3rd and was many many car lengths ahead of him. At the next light he asked if it was a V8 and I told him it was a V6, and judging by the look on his face I honestly think he believed me.

Of course even if I was in a 5spd 3.8L Firebird I probably still would have beat him by a little bit. The SE-R's are effing slow, I think its just a 170ish hp, torqueless, fwd, 4-cylinder sled.

Back when my 355 was in the car I was in Des Moines leaving a small car get together obviously my car didnt lope much with the hotcam. A little miata pulled up beside me at a stoplight and I heard a more of a lope then Im used to, I shut my car off thinking it was missing and It ends up being this miata beside me so I ask "Does that thing have a small block?" He said find out light turns green and takes off, I didnt know he wanted to race. Next stop light he laughed and told me it was ford powered and thats why I couldnt keep up; He started stalling it up again and when the light turned green I let him have it. Took him by 5 cars in about an 1/8th mile. He didnt say much at that stoplight and turned off shortly after.

Schooled an s2000 by about a car and change up a straightaway hill on I-84. He tried again, and lost again. It was pretty good.

Also, on one of the local thoroughfares this kid lines up next to me in an early 2000's mustang gt. Light goes green. Got him by like 3 car lengths. The best part was when we got to the next light, it was his mom in the passengers seat and she was yelling to me and my buddy how he just got his drivers permit. LMFAO!

My best on the street, a 427 Cobra. Not a Mustang, a real Shelby Cobra. I was in my 67 396 375 HP Camaro, 4 speed with 4.56 gears (from the factory.) My car was all stock except for headers and slapper bars, and a good tune. Expected to get him out of the gate and watch him walk away. He got me out of the gate and I walked him in third and fourth. You should have seen his face when I showed him my engine. Street racing was a real blast in the 60's.

Later at the drags they had an AHRA Super Stock meet. This was back when Super Stock was Pro Stock. The bubble was 11.88 and two 427 Ford Thunderbolts were tied for 16th place. Yes, exact same ET. So they were going to run them off to see who was in. My 67 was in C Stock, ran to tech and got in Super Stock. Ran 11.84 and bumped them both. As luck would have it I ended up getting second place. From 16th

Last race I had was against another LT1. I was ignoring him for 30+ miles but he kept egging me on. I could see the y-pipe hanging down so I know it had atleast boltons. So I downshift into 3rd at 70mph, give him the hit and he gets ~1.5 cars out on me. By the top of 3rd I'm blowing past him, I shift into 4th around 6800, run 4th out to the shift light and I have a good 5+ cars on him with me still pulling.

The race before that was awhile ago against a c5 Z06 that atleast had exhaust, sounded like headers and an x-pipe too. It was early in the morning and he was egging me on, so I just throw it in 4th around 70 and take off. I let off at 120 with him visible in my rear view so I'm guessing i had 2-3 cars on him.

Almost forgot my loss against a corolla. I was waiting to turn right on a flashing red 3 way light. There was a truck to my left so I couldn't see if traffic was coming so I obviously wait for him to pull out. The corolla with a rice can behind me didn't seem to appreciate that so he honked. So that triggers my road rage mode, I make the turn slow as hell to **** him off, then he tries to do a fly-by and I nail it next to him. I let off around 50-60 with a couple bus lengths on him thinking that was the end of that. Then 5-10 seconds later he buzzed on by me full steam ahead.

I try not to beat on my car too much on the street, but the last time I did it was well worth the chuckle. Beating the car was not a major win by any means, but beating the driver was epic.

On a Saturday night I was cruising towards down town Tampa on Kennedy Blvd, which is the University of Tampa area (rich kid central). Im in the left lane doing the speed limit when a 08-09 Acura TSX pulls right out of a side street and nearly clips my passenger fender. I'm sure there was nothing done to this car besides the drop kit, exhaust and black rims. I swerve to miss this idiot and take a look to see the driver. What I saw was an a 18-20 year old kid. He was equipped with huge sun glasses (at night), spiked blonde hair , and a bright orange polo with the collar popped . His blonde diva was sitting next to him in the passenger seat, with another near identical couple in the back. What topped this off was that these suburban bred college kids were blaring some super srewed and chopped rap music.

As if his pocket full of pills wasn't going to get him layed, he decides to show off and smoke an old camaro with his lightning fast TSX lol. He guns it and has a half a fender on me by the time I realize what hes doing. Needless to say, I stomped a hole in my floor board, hooked like a dream (for once), and never gave that kid a chance..lol. At the next light his windows were rolled up and he quickly bailed with a right hand turn before the light turned green

Daily driven 1997 SS = $3450. Used TSP Catback = $120. Shocks, Springs, and Nittos = $975. Total investment = $4545.

Putting a rich college tool bag to shame in his $25k + car in front of his girl?

An absolute and priceless f*****g pleasure
