3 Races In Two Days..

[MaXXuS]

Race One:
Unkown Street bike, couldnt have been more than a 600 for sure. We were rolling he egged me on and went WOT, i shifted into 3rd going about 50 and pulled on him, he was @ about the middle of my car and steady.

Race Two:
350z (stock), no contest didn't care after 50mph.

Race Three:
This one kind of gets me, it was an SRT-4 and I am not sure if he was stock. His bov didnt sound stock though. Anyways we start off even then he pulls by about a car and when we hit 70-80 I start to pull up on him dramatically but we had to stop before it went any further, we raced again and the same thing...even, he pulls, then I start to catch up real quick, shit a truck is in the way and now I am at my street...If that car was stock I am in disbelief at the fact that a stock SRT could possibly beat an 06 WRX...although 70-80 was a dramatic pull so I am clueless, hope I find another one.

[freakray]

Yep, definitely clueless....

Ummm, I dont want to bust your happy bubble but your car makes as much power at the crank as a stock SRT-4 makes at the Wheels. so yeah...A stock SRT4 is a bit faster.
You would get him on the launch cause of the AWD but then he would just catch up and match you. After 80 or so mph your car's awd hinders its acceleration. Thats why so many stock SRT4s have been able to pull on stock Evos and STIs on highway races. we've even got a guy here with a yellow Cobalt SS/SC that has pulled away from STIs and Evos.
Im not too surprised the SRT got away from you.

EDIT: hang on, you said you slapped a 350Z around? bro I think you missunderstood the guy and thought he was actually trying to race you. That or you got the jump on him and shut it down before he passed you. check out the specs.

2003 350Z with the 287 HP engine:
0-60 : 5.3 sec
standing 1/4 mile: 13.77 @ 100.94 mph

2006 WRX TR 230HP:
0-60 : 5.5 sec
Standing 1/4 mile: 14.2 @ 95.6 mph

And thats with the old production power rating of 287 hp on the Z, the newer models are even faster with 298 and 300 hp figures.

and for arguments sake the SRT-4 230WHP
0-60: 5.5 sec
standing 1/4 mile: [email protected] mph.

I got the jump on him, it wasnt a long hall. As for the SRT-4, that makes me want to cry. A stock SRT pulling on a stock evo though? I had an Evo 8 RS and I raced a GT on the freeway and pulled on him until his speed limiter kicked in then I was gone. I couldn't see an SRT beating an Evo unless it had some mods done. So my car some small mods as you can read, but I think they make more of a difference on top end with the stock ECU settings. Well anyways that sucks for me that an SRT-4 is faster than my WRX because I think those cars are kinda crappy imo.

2006 Mustang GT (Stock)
Top speed : 143 mph
0-60 mph : 5.1 sec.(manual)
0-¼ mile : 13.9 sec @ 104.0 mph

2004 Lancer Evo 8
Top speed : 156 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 4.8 sec., 4.4 sec.(RS)
0-¼ mile : 13.1 sec @ 105.1 mph

Yeah I don't think the 350Z driver was trying if you beat it from a roll... I have driven a non-STi WRX and it is hideous from a roll....

[Igovert500]

So you beat a 250cc bike?

Then thought you raced a 350Z, who was just cruising

And then finished it up by racing an srt4 who pulled on you, until he let off for traffic, and you caught up?

Sound about right?

[VR43000GT]

What kind of bike was it. Just a lower end cruiser or was it a sport bike. Because a most sport bikes around 600cc's would destroy a WRX. I'm thinking it would of had to of been something like a 250cc Ninja or something close to that.

[Musashi3000GT]

Nah dude, Ive pulled on 800CC cruisers before in less powerfull cars. Its possible.

No, I raced an unkown street bike, then a 350z off the line to about 40, then I raced an srt who pulled on me until 70-80 when I started to catch back to him 2wice but truck was in front of him when we came around a curved street. I don't think my car is the fastest car I know its not. My car has a few small mods, I was just seeing what people thought about power differences with these mods, and about high low end differences in power.

[TEXSRT4]

how can an AWD car that makes less power and weighs more pull ahead from a ROLL??? it doesnt make sense bud. either the kid didnt know how to shift, or somthing was majorly wrong with his car. yes, stock for stock, evo guys are scared of the srt because of the same reason i stated above.

when it comes to the Z, he couldnt have been racing.

600cc bike? your joking right? most 600cc bikes run mid11's or faster. no way he was running.

[VR43000GT]

^^^ He said at the most 600cc bike. Could have just been an old Honda cruiser but he hasnt told us yet whether it was a cruiser or a sport bike. And yes, stock a lot of those bikes can run high tens.

[Musashi3000GT]

Bro cool it. The guy never said it was a sports bike. He said "street bike" and he never said it was a 600cc. he said "it couldnt have been more then a 600". it could of been a 150, a 250, whatever.

Evo guys dont fear you son, there have been guys thats have pulled it off but that dosent mean they "fear you" for fucks sake they laugh thier asses off at you cause they can actually push a button and lower thier rear windows!
and that pulling away dosent happen till after a good 120 or so mph.
you need alot of highway to pull it off with those funny little brakes, or you might end up in a masterfull fwd skidd off the road.

and he already admitted he got the jump on the 350 then shut it down quick.

No I think he means SRT4 guy. As far as the bike goes it had to have been an older sport bike, it was during the night so all I could see was the color of the bike which was black. Srt4 dude chill out, don't take affense to my comment I just dont care for neons. That doesn't mean I think srts dont have balls. There is no way the bike was a 600 I just don't know for sure what it was.
