me vs. '93 ford probe GT w/mods

[-The Stig-]

He's thinking backwards...

FatNinja... when he says engaged it means the clutch pedal is out.. or better yet your foot is off the pedal... disengaged means your foot is on the pedal pushing the clutch in...


Remember FatNinja the clutch works by giving the transmission/wheels power by 'gripping' the flywheel... and if you just suddenly jolt that clutch with a shit load of HP like how N20 does... it'll still slip even though its completely engaged... or at least thats how I'm seeing it... (I could be wrong.. I mean I drive an Auto )

I hope that made a lil sense

Yes that is correct, I was too lazy to type it up like that though LOL.

They never made one. I have raced MANY Probes, and none of them ever put up what could be called a respectable fight.

Actually, the 1989-90 Probes came with a 2.2 liter turbo-charged motor. The same motor that came in the same year Mazda MX6s (basically the same car). Check this one out. Not too shabby for a stock car (or so he says).

On another note, there is a local Probe here in town with a V6 with a custom turbo. I've never seen it run but have heard that it runs low 14's-high 13's with street tires with a very heavy sound system.

Wow! That is pretty interesting. No wonder I haven't seen any, they were only made for two years.

If you think about it, it has the same potential as your turbo LeBarons...2.2 I4.

Yes, and odly enough, the only two good GTCs werein 1989 - 1990. Very coincidental, it is almost laughable.

actually the turbo probes were built from 89-92, i have owned 2 of them and they are a car that responds to mods very well, kinda the oppisite of the newer 93-97 prones, they have been known to actually lose power from mods.

Yeah the latter probe, never really stood out in the performance categories. I have raced many...none ever hung. Now, on the other hand, the older models are pretty damn fast.
