93 dx vs 96 probe gt

i have a 93 dx coupe with jdm b16a with short ram intake and hks exhuast also lowered and my friend has a 96 probe gt with intake and exhuast what do you think my chances are ive heard many people say the gt's are quick but i really cant see how and i am going to race him this coming friday so i kinda would like to get some more opinions on here thanks...

WERE BOTH 5 SPEEDS

I've raced a Ford Probe Gt, but it was an Asian chick that was driving it. So I really can't say if I was racing someone that knew how to race or if it was a challenge. I had her by a tire at the end and I'm in a DX D16. Your friend's car is a lot heavier so you'll probably get him. It seems like a good match so it might come down to the drivers. Don't let us Honda fanatics down bro.
DREEM :evillol:

yeah i wont let ya'lll down... im going to try my best i think i should be able to take him out no prob.... i was just curious about how quick they were.... like there bottom end and top end....

yeah and hey dude it says you say you have 190 hp and u barely took the probe by a tire????

if ive been able to walk countless GTs, you should be able to with a lighter car.

I saw a Probe GT run a 16.1 a few times... I think all he had was an exhaust.

i think theyre supposed to be mid 15 second cars

i've taken many gts without any problems, the car is heavy for that wimpy mazda 6cyl, easy kill for you.

may friend has a probe GT with custom Exhuast, has it dropped racing rims and tired. and Home depo intake. and it is really quick he beat a i4 z3 bmw. and he beats alot of fast shit look at as one of best racers in town cuz of his launch. it is perfect and he lost to a b16a civic one time but only by like inches

you've got about the same hp but he weighs around 400 more lb's than you. should be a pretty easy kill.

i do agree taht in the end u SHOULD be able to beat him (both being equal drivers), but he's going to jump u off the line.

like most fords, he's got a bit of torque (160, compared to 111) so he's going to jump off the line and have a lot better bottom end. i'd look for the top of ur 2nd to pull up even tho, and ur 3rd, SHOULD take him. its not going to be a blow out tho...good luck buddy.
:biggrin:

I disagree, he has more torque but he weighs more. I've raced probes in my crx and they never beat my off the line in my dx. either pulled in 2nd or 3rd.

u got nothing to worry about. i ran a d16z6 i/e no header against a probe gt with 5k on his motor. got him off the line and he never caught up. beat him by a car gap.

My friends Probe Gt 96 ran 15.8 at track last friday that was his fastest time so that may help you all he has on his car is Ram air and Custom exhuast and it is dropped

im ruinnin a stock 96 probe gt with a intake and im beating hondas all the time a stock pgt can run a best of 15.7 in a 1/4 and thats with about 150 whp

damn this thread is old well we barely raced about 2 weeks ago he has now a cold air intake/full exhaust/racing clutch and lightened flywheel and i have cold air intake / dc header/ full exhaust i pulled on him by about 3 cars by the end of 3rd gear it was too easy damn probe's are SLOW

Crabby, sure you beat a guy in a probe, but that does not mean all probes are slow. Probe Gts are quick cars with amazing handling. Also, the first generation turbo models are quite quick with few modifications.
