Probe GT A friend of mine has a Probe GT with a 75 shot, headers, exhaust, and is getting a turbo installed at the end of this month. He claims he will be putting 300+ to the wheels, and his car only weighs 2700 lbs. How bad will he beat me if/when we race?

Man things must be getting slow 'round here. Now we got people racing Probes 
If this guy with the Probe isn't an especially good friend I got a plan for ya.
1. ask to look under his hood
2. cut the oil feed line to the turbo when he isn't looking.
You'll be a shoe-in for the win. And your LS1 street cred will be upheld.

I think even with the turbo, you should probably be close. Just race and find out...
That should be some motivation.

And actually, a 5 speed Probe GT (93-97 V6; 89-92 GT's were turbo 4cyl junk) is a fun little car to pedal around. I think there are actually some quick (comparitively speaking) turbo 2.5 Probes around.

Well, going from personal experience, sorta... these cars are rather inexpensive to purchase. So, perhaps they just got enough money for the car, and bought it, so now they have a probe, or civic, or in my case POS jetta... Then you really don't have a lot of money, but you have a job, so you make a little bit a week. You may save for a week or two, then get a mod for your car, and keep building it up. Then perhaps, you save a couple thousand and get a turbo, or whatever. Saving up a lot of money to buy a car can be extremely hard, but just saving a week or two's worth of paychecks isnt nearly as difficult. so, you have money to buy mods, and you have a car... what car are you gonna put the mods on? your car. I personally want to do a litte bit of mods to my car this summer, just so I have a little more power, and also mainly so that I can learn something, before I go ahead and try something on a REAL car. That is just my perspective on things...
I had the same problem (money wise) but instead of buying a noise polluting rice burner I got my truck, then I got a job that was paying me 20 bucks an hour or more (comission) so I finished my truck and got my Z for a daily driver. Besides 3rd gen fbody's are just as cheap as a civic or jetta or whatever.

MillaTK, Thats pretty much exactly what he did. He bought the car 1 yr after high school for about 3k. He works at the local hospital cafeteria and slowly built his car. I give props to the kid
