Alright I was at the races over the weekend and got beat pretty bad by a 378rwhp 726 rwtq (I believe that is what he said he dyno'd at CP earlier that night) diesel Chevy, go figure, I also ran a Cobalt SS, I got 1st and 2nd gear by third he caught up and by 4th he blew past me like he was spraying and beat me by 2 car lengths, the next race was against a Cherokee 4.0 Litre V6, no contest I won by almost 10 lengths (sad thing was he beat every Accord out there first).
Last weekend I ran a lightly modded MX-6 V6 and matched him (35mph roll, if it was from a stop I know I would have won), the second run was against a built D16 (I don't know Hondas very well but it said VTEC on the valve cover) 4 door that got me by a half length the first time, I won the second run with him (it was close but that's what everyone was saying, the last run was a 25mph roll against a well modded LS Civic coupe (everyone said he was putting out 170 to the wheels) he got me by a good car length when I hit fifth. The road we ran on was every bit of a quarter mile so it was a fair run. The Cobalt was a 3 run race because he kept missing second and I don't like to claim wins on BS like missed shifts. I did get to cruise with a 525 rwhp 350Z twin turbo that will be in Import Mag soon, he just finished shooting. I'm really close to tearing my head apart to find out my specs because a lot of people on here have the 5SFE and complain because they can't beat a D16 with a couple of bolt ons, I ran with one with a built head, intake, full exhaust, and was lightend to 2400 lbs. so that will be my project when I get a beater (hopefully this winter). My next races are against a Suzuki Reno (when he gets his bolt ons), then an Eclipse GS-T with a Big 16G upgrade (after I get my 75 shot).

Like I said he claims to have a built bottom end, all I go off of is what the people at the races say, I was asked to run him and I asked what did he have, they said a VTEC, I didn't bother asking what kind prior to the race, we ran and he got me by half a car, probably because I hit a puddle when I went to line up IDK, we came back and it was close, and everyone said I won.
See I always see people on here hold the Honda above all, wow I got beat by one car length in fourth by a 170whp LS/VTEC Civic the 5SFE does really suck. Like I said my Celi has never been dyno'd and never run on the track, so I base it off of cars I run, the MX-6 is a 170 hp 2800lbs. car stock (the one I ran had an exhaust that I know of), and I was pulling on it until I missed fourth and believe me the guy was being serious, it's just that every time someone hears of the Celica beating a reasonably powered car (Civic Si, Probe GT, etc.) they flip out and call BS, I don't bring much but you people know I do when I can get it. Either way I hope I only pull 115 at the wheels, then I can laugh my a** off when the 160hp VTEC I just beat can't believe he just got out run by such a weak motor. |
