What else do you have for mods and how much spray. I highly doubt u could hang from him with what mods you advertise. 470whp 2800lbs from a roll you would probably need 550whp+

Nice run btw! Good Kill

Sorry, I can't watch from work. What color was it? I know of several nice 240s around here with V8s.

so that puts you near......340ish?? without spray. And you pulled a 470hp car that weighs at least 600lbs less than you? Does the 240 make 200ft lbs of torque or something?

Good kill, but something sure seems strange about the physics in that race.

yah this doesnt seem right to me...that 240 at 470rwhp should smoke almost anything on the street...just power to weight...sorry bro, it just doesnt add up

good kill tho i guess

edit: Just watched the dyno...that car has some SERIOUS lag.

I did say "good kill"

He has a video of him racing a turbo import. How are we supposed to know its the same one? I'm not calling you a liar Nick, but its easy to get a dyno video of a fast car and then you racing a fast car that sounds the same, but no one can see it. Just seems like your car would have to be blistering fast beat a car with over 100whp more than you and weigh a lot less, and since you have no internal mods it just doesn't seem plausable.

I say again though, good kill.

i was there at the meet...nick followed the 240sx out of the parking lot so when the guy came back and showed us the vid i guess nick found another 240sx raced him then gave the camera back to the guy in the original 240sx??? ummm NO...nick beat him by about a car as the vid shows.....but it does seem like he's shifting slow (240sx)
