today i was going to get gas in my dads GTO and a BMW 330 pulled up to me and when the light went green by second gear at 85 mph i was already 2 car lengths infront of him...i think he thought it was a cavalier

What kind of engines do the diamante vr-4's have? 3.5 liter? Too bad you didn't meet up with a galant vr-4

Any year of the galant vr-4 is badass, but I think they only had them in the us for two years in 91' and 92' when they had the 2.0 liter turbocharged engine, but still awd I believe. If you got one of those in the U.S. it would be a serious sleeper.

gotta admit... that is one fast car you got there in your signature... i'm considering making that modification myself... i could use the extra 400 hp

PWRDbyUNCLEbens · 02-21-2005, 12:57 AM

Ive got the file all you have to supply is the bumper sticker paper just give me a pm. Oh and BTW its 450 added hp just to keep the records straight.

AMG=50hp
///M=50hp
GT=50hp
Type-S=50hp
SS=50hp
SE-R=50hp
R/T=50hp
TSI=50hp
Si=50hp
Stock SE-R=140hp

Hence the 590hp

Underground_Killah · 02-21-2005, 12:59 AM

correction, 450.. bringing the J30 to approx 660 hp

Hell, if you were AWD, just one of your wheels would be putting down more HP then my entire Civ. Damn stickers. They should be put under restrictions. I just can't compete with them. No matter how hard I try. Intake, Exhaust, Camshaft, everything. There's just no substitution for stickers. Damn them all

. And that VTEC one on mine didn't do squat but get VTEC to kick in quicker. I'll have to research them more. Stickers. Damn

Well that rests all my fears. I thought it was something personal from another moderator...

This isn't really racing news, but I'm getting a 1989 Civic with a B16A engine in a few days for free!

I had a go with a Saturn Vue on the way to school. I was running a little late and the lane I was in ended about 70 ft after the intersection we lined up at. The Vue kept inching up the whole time the light was red but I easily got in front after the intersection with plenty of room, so as not to cut anyone off.

Make that kill #1 for the Taurus.

I watched a Tiburon go speeding by and passing a suburban through a turn lane..then the SUV caught the Tibby and passed it. then a civic decided to race me without me knowing. He had atleast a car length headstart and i caught him in no time.

I raced my roommate today. I have a 1972 Cutlass with a built 455 Olds/TH-400 auto (just installed this weekend, fun project), he has a 1994 Ford Ranger V6.

He didn't believe my car was fast because the exterior is rather rusty, the interior is torn up, and it is missing the grille. Well, he was desperately wrong.

From the light, rolled on the throttle to avoid spinning, and finally hit full throttle at around 35 mph. Big mistake, hit a wet patch of concrete and the whole back end broke loose. Had to pedal it but ended up winning no problem.

I just got the car, and never realized just how fast a 3800 lb car with a 350 hp/450+ ft/lb torque motor could be! As soon as the motor hits 3000 rpm the torque comes on so strong the tires go up into clouds of smoke. So bad for the environment, but so cool!

PS Drag radials are coming soon once the old radials are burned to shreds.

i want one!...now thats a sleeper.
you should run open headers!

Mr. Luos · 02-21-2005, 09:33 PM

My best race was a short one, but fun.

Yellow Z06 with at least exhaust. Sounded mean. Pulled up next to him, and we both were turning left, double turn lane. I made sure to compliment his car, as it did sound mean.
We both got around the corner, and kinda looked at each other. I hit it right about the same time he did. Neither of us was pulling. Ran doors to about 60. Let off, and slowed way down. He asked me what I had done. I told him intake and exhaust. Which at the time, was true. I hadn't installed the cam yet.
So, we are going about 15 MPH, and I give it the 3 honks. I hit it a touch late, so he pulled me about 1/2 car, then wasn't pulling anymore. Ran from 15 to about 60. Slowed back down, and ran one more time. This time, I screwed up pretty bad. I delayed a ton on the pedal. He got a great jump off the horn, and took off. Before I got into my RPM range, he already had over a car on me. So I let off quick.
He waved, as did I, and we went on our ways.

I am still looking for this car, I want to try him with the cam in.

I drive the i4, 2.0L Tib which sits at around 140hp stock. By far not the fastest import out there, but not slowest either. I will agree that a VTEC Civ would be a pretty even match or even bold enough to give my car a slight advantage. But for me having the lead I did, and as fast as he shot in front of me, theres no way he could have been stock or close to it. Sorry for the late reply, been off a couple days, but I gotta put in some defense for my baby.
