**** i raced a 427 swap rx7 with a 200 shot. He put down 846 to the wheels I was at 830 at 19 psi. He had issues hooking below 60 mph. But in short we raced from 80 yes 80 mph lol. We where door to door all the up past 160 mph. I gave up bout mid way in 6th gear. It was a dam good race. I accept it because i did the head and cam for it lol. God bless him he was taken away oif2.

My most humiliating loss.......... A bone stock 90's 4dr. Jetta on a 75 shot.

Of course i lost due to my own bad driving. Spun all of 1st, and 2nd. It was a close friend to top it off so i have never and will never live it down. (first race ever going from Auto to Manual btw)

I was destroyed by a Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. He was running a break in tune that put him about 450awhp in a 2600lb car. I had nothing for him anywhere.

Funnest part is when my buddy in his turbo b16 beats higher HP cars in his stock motor 1.6l. The owners of the car's he goes up against want to kill themselves. Last night he ran a ferrari daytona, an isf and a c6. Walked all three pretty bad, each car left after the run without stopping LOL.

It's their true nature, when they're fast or not, you can still give them **** for their car. So yes.

Sounds like the typical response of a stock 4th gen or stock gto owner. If you cant beat em, insult them. Am I right, or am I right?

Wrong on both counts. I really could care less what your car runs in a straight line. I rather drive a circuit and laugh.
Sounds like the hurt pride of the owner of said type of car.

Lol, ok I have a car that is fast in a straight line and one that handles really good while being decently quick too. What's your point or I suppose I could ask what do you drive since you seem to like judging others by what they drive?

Which body style LGT? I sold mine to a guy out in your area. Mine was a low 13 car before he got it. No clue whats been done to it since.

I never got to race my friend in his evo(evo 8 with boltons evo9 turbo and a big cam) but I know how he rolled and he would decimate my V...

Racing a honda is a lose lose situation. Either you kick a puppy by beating them. or you lose to a properly built one and look like a fool!

They aren't to bad stock. But with a little work they have as much potential as a STI!

Mine was about as far as it could go on the stock trubo when I sold it. Short e85. And it eas a low 13 car. With a STI turbo or bigger it could be a 12 second car
