MazdaSpeed Protege, but this wasn't straight line...we did it at the old road course in northern MN that's abandoned. I killed him, but it was mostly thanks to my car having really good handling. Plus, he considers me a better driver than him, so had I been racing that same car against a skilled driver...it might have been different.
Straight line, uhm prolly a Golf 1.8T. The only turbocharged car I've ever beaten. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

Tonight I beat a supercharged mustang. Until 42 mph. Then it won.
Then I beat a newer end mazda (didn't catch the model) until 47 mph. Then it won. Further on through the night, I beat a 300zx, because it's driver didn't know what he was doing and kept it in first gear or some such crazy shiznaz, I had no business winning that and will not count it. Then I beat a BMW, until 44 mph. Then it won. The pattern continues. Stupid 2nd gear. The end. This post has been edited by shid: Jan 11, 2004 - 3:11 PM |

Dude, minivans are no joke. They have power haha.
Your ST model has 110 hp and 115 lb ft of torque. A GT puts out 135 hp and 145 lb ft Those are actually both decent numbers, as say, a Civic Si puts out 160 hp- but a pathetic 111 lb ft of torque (correct numbers? going off 99 year). Simply put, our cars have excellent acceleration- but still not enough hp. Hence, why I beat the mustang UNTIL it pulled ahead at 42 mph. Until 42 mph, I was doing a lot better. |

I second that notion, Also that "crappy" tourque means nothing in a "real" race once that car hits 5k RPM's it will put your GT in a coma. V-Tec is not to be frowned upon. Its weird- a Supercharged stang will crank it off the line but somehow you hung till 2nd gear *shrugs* I guess Automatic Celica with intake and exhaust can hang with those cars. Mine sure as hell cant, I have a (lighter) 97 HB intake/Exhaust/Pulley/Wires/Plugs/SAFCII

Are you sure the Mustang was supercharged? I came really close to beating my friend's automatic fairly-new V6 'Stang, but in third gear he pulled away from me.
If it was supercharged, chances are he probably had a really bad launch and didn't know how to drive his car well.  Edit: By the way, the best car I've beat was probably my friend's lightly-modded Eclipse GS. Also, it was kind of cool that I beat a car that I saw on display at Hot Import Nights.
