since i take it, it is a GS-t.. i figure that he is a highschooler.. so chances of it being a BIG turbo and a built motor are slim..

to be honest with you, i would look for a nice used wet kit (nitrous) and slap it on the car.. then from a dig or roll, you WILL put his dick in the dirt...


try to get him to run from a dig and take his *** all the way through 4th gear.. but if he STILL wants to do a roll, get you up to say a 60 roll or so... get yourself in the second gear sweet spot and just roll his *** through third and fourth..


good luck

Just race him and remind him of what horsepower and torque are, also wax the *** end of your car so he see's how nice it looks at it disappears into the sun set.

If you want to get rid of the most turbo lag you can in a DSM without hooking up the juice, then you purchase the Garett T3/T4E hybrid, 50 trim compressor, Stage III turbine wheel, .63 AR turbine housing. Excellent street racing turbo for the DSMs. I havn't purchased one yet, but thats what i plan on hooking up to my Talon if it isn't sold.

With the AWD system you will be hitting high RPMs in no time, and the T3/T4 spools so fast.

If you race a DSMer, and he has anything bigger than a 50 trim. He better be running N2O along with it. If he isn't they obviously havn't been doing their research and don't know what they are doing.
