94 Integra Turbo Vs Trans AM V8

Weeks ago on a Saturday at around 11:00P.M. right before I was let out of work, a race was setup without me knowing. Once I arrived to the meeting point it turns out I have to run a Trans AM, Yeah there not all that but it does have a V8 Engine. Now think V8's are suposed to totally outclass 4 cyl motors. So seeing how ive never raced a V8 I was a little nervous. But hell I Figured I would give it a shot. Before leaving to our running point the Trans Am Revs Up, The Noise was Monsterous, and the body of the Trans AM sways back and forth as if it was going to lift off the ground. It was almost enough to make me wet myself.

Once we got to our running spot the stage was set and we were flagged. I didnt rev high enough and all you see is the monstous Trans Am take off, I had chocked down but didnt totally stall out. He must have beat me by 10 car links. I was furious once i got to the finish, I flagged him down and well said we are running again.

Now seeing the Trans Am take off and leave my ass the first time I had already expected to lose, now lemme remind you this was the first run since I put my T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo on. We Lined up and Got Flagged Something just clicked inside my head everything went into a blur, From there we took off... I expected to see him in front right off the bat, but for some reason he wasnt showing up in my view. I turned my head to the passenger side window, nothing was there. Looking at the sideline all the people were jumping up and down screaming OHHHH OHHH...
you know how the viewers get all jacked up when something unexpected happens. Then I lookin my rear view mirror and the Trans AM is about 2 car links behind me... Who would of thaught... It was glorious. And I now get to say V8's Aint Shit I Hope you guys enjoyed my street racing story... When I get home from work i will tell you about the dreadfull Integra Turbo vs The GTI Turbo Race.

good run. what are all of the mods? you should have to run 10+ psi to run with a TA if it were a 98+. or the guy cannot drive worth crap. keep up the good work and keep her looking clean.

Good kill man. I'm a big fan of the Trans Am, but even I know that it's not invicible. Nice intercooler by the way, that looks so mischievous(sp?).

Nice kill. I have much respect for turboed Tegs.

I had a friend with a nice 94 standard Vette. He got beat by a turbo, nitrous sprayin integra. Man he was so pissed he wouldn't even talk about it. Three weeks later he was ordering a TT kit for his Vette.

Yeah I guess that was a little far. I have had my ass handed to me buy some muscle v8's at the track... only when I go to the track I spend through 1st 2nd and 3rd. So I wont be going back till i get stage axles and slicks. Hopefully that will cure some of my problem
