LAME KILL: '00 Z28 VS Talon TSI I dont know what it had done to it other than a fart can and I could hear a loud BOV. I believe all TSI's are AWD but am ignorant on them. Anyway here in Cincy there is still inches of snow on the ground and some spots of wet pavement. We were lined up at a light and figured he would easily get me off the line b/c of traction issues. Anyway, light turns green and i feather it through first to about 4.5K then shift to third in an effort to keep my car under control even at the risk of losing the "race." Surprisingly I was in front the hole time. We shut them down at about 60 or so, it was a quick race and he stayed near my rear quarter. I would have had a lot more fun on dry pavement...maybe I'll see him sometime this summer.

Where in Cincy are you? No I haven't raced any 'maros lately, but that's crazy racing in this weather we've had, you must be nuts! 
BTW TSI just means it's turbo, but it could be fwd or awd.

Yea TSi means Turbo Sport Injected, and are either FWD or AWD and these cars arent your little N/A Honda junk they have the 4G63 motor as in same block as the EVO. That is what I have its a 90AWD its my 2nd one so far but im in HS and cannot afford an LS1 by myself only in my dreams LOL

They can be quick but stock they're nothing that great really. My friend has a 93 AWD Turbo w/ a better clutch and almost all new parts put on because of bad reliability and my Z24 will take it. He'll take me off the line but by 3rd (about 60) I pull ahead.

Here's a good example: at 8 psi, I got slowly walked by a g35 on the highway, at 15 psi I pulled on or stayed even with 3 different lightly modded 99-04 GT's, on the highway. That's what convinced me to keep modding it, just a little more boost with all the stock parts got me in the same league as GT's and LT1's.

There really slow stock
Sure there pretty slow stock, but I would think he could pull on you.
Your friends car must be a junk box.....

I know they can be quick, any car can be quick. He may well be faster than me, but like I said it was wet out and I'm sure his car couldn't give it all he's got and neither could I, again b/c of the road conditions. And yes, that's why I called it a lame race.
I am in the western hills area. The "race" (if you want to call it one) was at the intersection of queen city and ferguson.

Well it all depends on the launch of both cars but hey if the Z24 got a good launch and the Z28 got a bad one it might be kinda close up till about 55 or 60. Just depends on the driver. But with me driving the lt1 the Z24 wouldn't run with it till 60. We've gone over this already many times.
Just poking fun
