01 z28 vs. skittle
Today me and my buddy had a chance to run our cars. hes got a stock skittle and i have a 01 z-28 a4 with cutout and a lid. First run was from a 30 roll, i didnt realize he was at 5500rpm and had to shift at 6, needless to say it didnt end up to great for him, he was 2-3 cars back and falling, i shut down at 90 due to the short road we were on. Second run was from a 20, i pulled 2 cars or so and shutoff. The third run was from a 10 punch, i spun a little, still side by side, and once i caught i pulled a car and a half and had to shut it off..
I honestly thought it would be alot closer of a race though, maybe he just sucks at driving..

Hell nah..... even racing for fun I wouldn't want to be subjected to that kinda humiliation. That would be an annihilation... a stock integra Vs. an LS1. Luckily my car was never stock.... as soon as I got it home it was turboed the very next day!!!

I wonder how a stock Type R Integra would do against a fully loaded stock Trans Am convertible. I've got to believe weight would make it close especially if it was a Spoon model assuming closely matched drivers of course and slicks for the Integra....man...I sure do let my imagination get away from me sometimes or maybe I drank too much....Sundrop...

good kill he sounds like a decent driver to me...mod for mod your ls1 will always have the edge. unless you dont mod much and he ends up with a Down pipe, full exhaust a stiffer waste gate(17-18lbs of boost) and a tune, then i wouldnt worry and even if he dose mod he will only be a threat from a roll, RWD>FWD....keep us updated on future runs!

I still think it's cool running stock for stock, regardless of who's driving what. I'll drive the slower one for all I care; I just love racing. It just gives you a real feel for how fast each car really is out of the factory. Any car can be made fast with the right mods.
