My weekend was pretty good, I got waxed on by a diesel truck Options

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).

I was only in fourth when he got me and it was a small stretch (1/8th or so) so on a quarter it would have been a few more car lentghs easy the point was it isn't like he beat me bad by 10 or 15 lengths like he was doing to the Accords, but he didn't really pull on me as hard as I thought. You're right about a modded SRT, but I doubt i'll bother with the 5SFE after the nitrous. The SS kind of shocked me because the launch wasn't spectacular, but when it hit third it flew.

what i meant was i seriously doubt that from a 25mph roll, on a stretch of road that is 1/8 to 1/4 mile long, that a celica GT can accelerate enough to require shifting into 5th. my car puts 245hp to the wheels and it can even do that.

cobalt SS's are nearly as fast as a stock SRT4, it would have left you in its dust if the driver was up to par.
