Does anyone know this GSX?

Theres this guy in my school that claims that no one can beat him in street race. He lives in Philly and drives a green 1995 GSX with a rice bowl with chop sticks on it. If anyone goes to Philly to the races or know this guy, can you tell me if his car is that fast?

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

Why not ask him, or race him and see for yourself.

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

I did ask him, and he is telling me that he is running 10s in a 1/4 mile. I can't race him because my car isnt done yet.

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

Ask to look under the hood. If he shows you and he's got a big ass turbo, then he's most likely putting down some serious numbers, but if he's still got the t2small, then he's filling you full of bullshit.

I don't see how that would prove anything. He could just lie and throw out a big number.

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

^ Just like everyone else these days. Just race him, losing is just as much as racing as winning is. If you're ashamed of losing, don't bother modding your car. It wouldn't matter if he's fast or not, just race him for fun. If you lose, a lot of people have done the same, if you win, you just beat out someone undefeated. When you think about it, there's not a real losing situation in this.

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

Only one way to find out... Race him. But no "pre-racing him" threads. AKA, bench racing.

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

He could be running tens its not impossible in a gsx. I'd believe someone if they were said they were running tens in a gsx more than if they said they were running tens in pretty much any other car.

Re: Does anyone know this GSX?

Start asking him questions about his setup and if he hesatates or makes stuff up hes full of it but if he knows his stuff chances are hes telling the truth or just yanking your chain
