anyone raced these cars?

[91dx]

someone wants to race me in:

2001 camero ss stock
and
an older eagal talon awd turbo


I have a 95 mr2 with 3sgte gen2 swap and apexi intake other then that its stock.


think i'll have a shot at these cars?

You left out what kind of work those other cars have.
Regardless, whether or not a car is faster does not gaurantee a win.
There are other factors driver's ability and reaction time.

There really is little benefit to theorizing on the Internet about who will win.
It's like talking about playing with your self.
It's only really fun if you go do it.

... how about you go race 'em and tell us how you did?

[rollhard]

Who cares who will win. Just race them! = ) Anyways with just an intake and the rest stock you will lose. If all drivers are equal then they should take you. You have a better chance against the talon but with mods those cares are fast. Remember a talon/eclipse awd with intake filter, dp, exhaust and boost controller would run 12s easily. Yeah, let us know what happens after you race! = )

[Need2Speed]

yeah man these guys know what their talking about. Its all on the drivers. Good Luck!

[91dx]

cool i'll let you know. The camero is stock and the talon i'm pretty sure is stock except for intake, and exhaust. we'll see

[JekylandHyde]

In reality, given "normal people" ... anything can happen.

[91dx]

cool so excluding the driver which is the fastest car?

[mcjonesy]

in totally stock form, the camaro eats you both and hangs your eyeballs from his rearview mirror as a reminder

haha no way my shits stock and its fast.

[91dx]

well I guess I have a swap, and an apexi power intake but that's not really that much. still really fast heh

[JekylandHyde]

The Camaro does have more 1/4 performance right out of the box.

The Talon should be slightly slower than you, EXCEPT they will have an easier time launching since they have AWD.

Your car is only fast because of how slow it was before. lol. Trust me, when went from a volvo 940 to a maxima. I thought the max was fast. Then i got my 240sx and i thought the 240 was fast. then i got my eclipse and thought my 240 was slow. Then i modded my eclipse and was like WAO. my mr2 felt like a slow pos compared to my eclipse even i ran 13.4 in the mr2. to make a long story short, with your car being stock with just the jdm motor, i would agree with the other guy. the camaro ss would rape you both and never look back. Good drive or not, if that camaro is an automatic, all he has to do is stomp on the gas and you guys are done for. the eclipse/talon has a traction advantage. with just intake and exhuast he will not pose a threat, only off the line but if he has a boost controller then you guys are done. ok enough internet racing, go race for real now! lol

91dx, if you think the apexi power intake makes your stock car fast, ride in hydes car. your car will probably run high mid to high 13s, low 14s. ride in a 12 or 11 sec mr2 and you wont want to get back into your car. = )
