Went to a racing meet today In faytteville. I saw some really nice cars and a crazy hot looking chic flash for us biggrin.gif. I went racing against an nissan (old school car forgot what it was called), and B16 JDM type civic swap. Unfort. lets just say that my car is slow. Lost to both cars. My car is completely stock + stock 4age ST engine (stock) too.

Im at the point where drag racing is out of the question, cause my car is so slow and furthure engine mods are somewhat useless cause Im so poor.

I was thinking somewhere that I might get a GTS and swap it out with a BEAMS motor. I want NA, cause its just less maintence.

Any comments.. (yes! im stupid cause I race on the streets)

well yeah, its only 40hp more then a normal st. so its a little quicker then a gt, but thats about it. i got a ride in a 4age that was in a 5th gen, it was "quick", but not fast in any way. ... throw a 3s in there and its a whole new car with well over 100HP gain then what you get stock. any 4cly NA car becomes no problem at all to beat.
