4 Bangers worst nightmare

for the past two weekends ive been to the street races ive killed every four banger that has gotten in my way. friday night i found a group of civcs with mufflers and intakes. they didnt even bother to ask me if mine was a six or four. Saturday night i found a little better conpetion. A 94 Prelude with custom exhaust and CAI. I killed him by like 4 CARS!!. then i went up against a 98 Integra GSR V-Tech with exhaust, CAI, bigger plugs and a whole other stupid stuff. I killed him by like 1 1/2. They were all wondering what i had in my car. all i told them was that i was stock.

street racing is far from the most intelligent thing you could accomplish.

Re: 4 Bangers worst nightmare

who cares! its fun to do given you take the necessary precautions ie. clear street guys at the starting line and finish line, plenty of slow down time, controlled traffic (we like the factory area of town...no traffic at all)
thats awesome...do you have a 2000 GT? i can't seem to nail a GSR but once, and his tires were screwed ...he gave up after 2nd

The Evos have 4 cyl and so do the older Eclipses with the 4G63. And I'm sure the stock Evo can take your car.

Re: 4 Bangers worst nightmare

a gt and a 3000gt SL would be a pretty even race if you ask me.

Re: 4 Bangers worst nightmare

id really like to race an Eclipse in my cavy, i think id beat it. Those lil 4 bangers are nothing. Give my cavy a run or something like an evo, STI, R32, Redline, Z28, Mustang GT, something a little bigger than a crappy civic. Look in my sig for car specs

Re: 4 Bangers worst nightmare

My brother raced a 99 cavi Z24 or something like that. the cavi had an exhaust and my brother had an 03 GS with no ehaust cause his fell off due to some bad welding. the cavi only beat him by like a nose.

Re: 4 Bangers worst nightmare

nm man i raced an syperder eclipse GT today, i spanked the shit outa it. Wasnt even a challenge, he got the jump on me off the line, but 20MPH i had caught up, by 40MPH i had a car length and growing extremly fast. I think once i passed him with the supercharger blasting he just kinda gave up.

are those cars that you think you can hang with? please tell me that you're not talkin about a skyline R32? i think everyone of those cars expect the redline would hand you your ass in a paper bag.

and what did you expect when you ran a GT eclipse? it runs mid to high 15's in the quarter and your running high 14's. your should have dogged it.

you also weight almost 500lbs less than a GT.

Re: 4 Bangers worst nightmare

its funny how forced induction cars always pick on naturally aspired cars and then brag about winning. whats up with that? wasnt that the reason you went forced induction?
