Re: heads up race

i think that i should be able to take him, with my mods im pushing more hp and torque. The only thing that worries my is his manual transmision. Should i be worried? do i have a chance at winning? need your opinion plz, thanx.

Re: heads up race

all wheel drive turbo vs. fwd na

mmm, if he can drive u will probably lose

if your bud uses the awd to his advantage he's going to pull you from the launch and the turbo will probably finish u off.

Re: Re: heads up race

Sorry but I had to vote you'd lose. I've seen a race at the dragstrip between a stock Eagle Talon TSI AWD and a stock GTP. The GTP only beat him by a nose in the 1/4.

A stock Talon TSI will pull consistent 15.0 1/4 mile times with a 0 - 60 foot time in a little under 2.0 seconds. Rip probably described it best.

Personally, I'd pass on it. You'll need better mods. Otherwise, good luck!

1/4 ET: 13.210 sec. @ 104.490 mph
0 - 60 ft: 1.945 sec.
