WFT PT Beat me

[km23honda]

I don't know if any one cares but please put input on this.

Last night i raced at PT cruiser GT (turbo) I don't know how much they have hp wise but i thought i would keep up or beat him. Because he one by a Car lenght to one of my friends and i beat my friend by 2 car length. Anyways i had a good start i pulled 1/2 car length ahead i didn't see much of him till i hit 3rd next thing you know right next to me i was think "damn turbo." By the time we had to stop he only had a bumper on me. I was thinking to myself what did i do wrong but i guess i can't win them all.

The PT was auto and turbo. Could i have won if i did something different. I have 92 Si LUDE i/h/e short shifter cam gears and underdrive pullies. What does a PT have by the way the PT was stock is this a good race or what? Tell me what you think. Laters

GT has the same motor as an SRT-4, with a smaller turbo.

Output is about 210HP.

Dang, that must be a small turbo! When I went to the Nopi Nationals this past fall, I saw the Stage 1 upgraded turbo for a SRT-4. It looked no bigger than your average T3 turbo, so if the PT's GT turbo is smaller than a stock SRT-4's, then "Dang, that must be a small turbo!" But hey, it helps the engine reach 210hp so, go figure.

think thats small, you should see the stock 1.8ts

km23honda, yeah you cant win them all. i think you should race again. those PT's weigh a whole lot. BTW, how old are you? i hope you stay in school-the post was hard to follow.

Sorry about that i was never good at english. If you really wanted to know iam 18 going to college next fall so don't worry. Thanks for the input. The kid that i raced (the PT) it was his mommy's car. Iam sure i will try and get him to race again. He didn't want to race the frist time but now that he knows he can beat me iam sure he will.

1.8t is a lil t2 aint it. But man thats depressing PT turbo or not man its still a PT. I think you should try again i bet you can win.

[km23honda]

Thanks i will keep all you posted. Maybe some time tomorrow i can get out again or this weekend. Personally i don't the guy my friends do. I told them to set the race up again, they said alright. I don't know if they told him yet.

actaully the Stage 1 and 2 use the srt4 stock turbo. Only stage 3 gets an upgraded one

Oh. Ok I coulda swore it looked bigger than a stock turbo anyway. But then again, why would Mopar show a stage 1 upgrade when all they shown was the turbo itself. If you say that they use the same turbo, wouldn't showing just the turbo on a stage 1 upgrade be pointless? But then again the display people at shows know a lot less about the parts than the dealer's and engineers anyway, so the display people probably didn't realize or weren't told that its the same turbo as a stock one.
