last night at about 11pm on my way home i was on rt. 34 (i got pulled over like 2 days prior for speeding) and there's some tiny black dude drivin a 4 door gsr integra. at the same moment the light turned red. i really didn't want to race so i took off VERY slow in 1st. so did he, then i just gave it a little more gas to slowly pass him and he takes off all quick. so i just play catch up but really wasn't fair. the next light turns green before we get to it but now we're racing in a 40mph roll on. there was one really sharp turn and i was pulling on him but i was still behind him. i went around like a 65-70 degree turn at like 80. and it was a little hill sort of bump and my back end wanted to slide out. thanks to my suspension mods i was all good. his back end slid out a lot. and he was on the outside lane too. we went again but there was always a car in my lane so i couldnt catch him. i kept on slowing down so i can move to the left lane. he walked me that time and i got a little upset when he put on his hazards. so at the next red i looked over at him and threw a quick rev so he knew i was going for real this time. the other light turned yellow and at the red i got to my revs for launching and held it.

on green i was OUT. my best launch ever! spun just a little tire, but i was gone. i quickely got 3 cars ahead of him, shifted second, and my new stock clutch was a pussy and didnt chirp the gear but i still kept going. shifting to third my revs dropped a little low cuz my gay syncros or whatever. but it went into gear because i slammed it so hard. at about 100 i let off because the road got to a little busy part, where stores are and cops hide so i let him pass me but he knew i was pullin. i'm pretty sure he would have beat me in the long run.

Actually I am pretty sure that you could have beat him the whole way through. I can actually beat stock GSR's all day long. I only beat a modded GSR once but that was a driver error infact I heard him miss a gear.

I know for sure you can't beat a 2 door GSR, because i spank civic ex's all day, i even beat V8s. I raced my friends 5.0 GT and took him by 2 cars. By the way I drive a 99 GSR

i didn't get a radar detector yet, and no i havn't stopped speeding. :( i got a court date the other day for 60 in a 40.

as for beating 2 doors, i'm pretty sure i can beat one also. i lost to a 2dr 95 prelude dohc vtec by a mere bumper! it had an intake and exhaust. i also don't think it was driver error since i repeated this 2 more times.

all i really want is a motor for my car so i can go brag some more about beating these cars by lengths.

btw: eclipse_gs- i pulled on an older 5.0 when i raced a friend of mine. don't ask how, i just did. lol

The last year for the 5.0 was 94, and by the way i said it was conv. At car-stats.com it says it does a 15.1, my mods are K&N intake, 4-2-1 DC headers, Shunk2 exhaust, and screwed secondaries. the 4.6 i raced, i think it was auto, i didn't win by that much. I won by half a car, I also raced a prelude DOHC VTEC. I won by alittle, we raced on the freeway, i pulled just a bumper.

It is 95 for the 5.0, and 96 is when they started using the 4.6 SOHC for the GT's and DOHC for the Cobras

If all you got is headers and exhaust on a gs I doubt you would beat a mustang GT. Now, if it was as you said a convertable, and an auto trans, and he didnt know how to drive, then yes it would be feasable. And like I said in a previous post, 95 is tha last year for 5.0

I don't know why ya Mustang boys find it hard to believe that an import can take ya! The mustang GT Was stick, if you go to www.car-stats.com you will see that the Mustang GT Conv does a 15.1, and you well see that a GSR does a 15.5. i pretty sure i'm in the high 14s.
