What kind of car would make you feel worst if you lost to it in a race?
- Thread starter destrux
- Start date
A few years ago i was driving around my buddys 6.0 bpu gto around the local cruise spot when a geo storm with dora the explorer stick on wiondow tint and a student driver sticker on the rear bumper pulled up next to me. he honked 3 times and i didnt go since i thought it was a joke. my buddy told me to smoke him so i honked 3 times, droped it to 3rd(we were on the highway) and got on it. This geo absolutly destroyed the gto must have had 5 lengths in a few seconds. idk if anyone can top that in embarrassing.

Probably because no one has actually lost to one... lol You would have to be trying to lose.

The geo storms were based off of the Isuzu Impulse- in 91 and 92 they had the RS version...an AWD 1.6 turbo that made 160hp, easily EASILY made into 300hp for an AWD ~2600lb car
That said- I think you guys were matched up against a Corolla/Prism- I know a guy who's running an E-85 1.6 and putting 250 to the ground. Doesn't sound like much, but MAN does that thing move out!
Why would you feel bad losing to an RX-7? It was Mazda's flagship sports car...
I have to admit though, that is one CLEAN fucking install, and the video is awesome. I'm sure IJ would like it

If you watch the video from the RX7, youll question the phrase "spinning aint winning". I think you'll still get smoked (pun intended) with him spinning.
Spinning ain't winning? One of the two cars that's beat me was spinning uphill, and still pulling on me. :nono:
As for the Prius thing, trying to auto cross on tires that are designed with economy in mind is just plain foolish...

When my twins were going out, i ran a friends 6spd stock 02 maxima, lost badly from a dig, and from a roll only was able to put a fender on it, Now this happens to be the current stock quarter mile and trap record holder (14.0 &101mph) but i still get crap for that over a year later...
ive lost to a probe, an lt1 camaro, and a turbo cobalt.. id say that sucked a bit

Pretty much all of us at SILV 2010 lost to a LOT of Civics. Granted, I drove my car home in comfort and continue to drive it daily, but a 10 second buzz can Honda is still faster than most of us.connor.stephens;1695705 said:

Nothing wrong with losing to an LT1 car, but the rest of those... that's a little embarrassing. Your friend with the Maxima must be a decent driver to be able to keep up with you that well. I mean, what does a non turbo VG30 put out, 230hp?

How fast are we talking about.
P.S. LEt the weight reduction begin!!! lol
Well, I'm pretty sure I had the fastest run of a Mk3 that wasn't err... Tony? Guy with a massively powerful 7m and hydroglide trans, black and orange car... I've met him, but the name skips my mind right now. Anyway, I think he managed to get a decent run or two in this year. Anyhow, nearly all of the Hondas that were there were running 10's all day long. Not sure if any of them broke into the 9's, wasn't paying much attention to be honest...
A 1990toyota extra cab with a 3vze... back when I was stock I almost got smoked by one. It was raining and by the time I caught traction he was a full 2 lengths ahead then he was way behind me lol

bone stock his car put down 225whp, bone stock it ran 14.00@101.xmph, the probe i lost to was a gutted (~2300lbs w/ driver) built 10.5:1 compression 2.5 v6 Jap motor with a 62mm turbo running 13psi and race gas, put down 325whp... turbo cobalt was like a stage 3 or something and ran low 12's at high teen traps. and on the gt40 i almost lost to a scion tc...te72;1695786 said:
All in the details man... I suppose if your twins were on the way out, and the other guy is having a better day or is a better driver, it could happen to all of us. As for the Probe, that V6 that's a common swap out of the MX6 wasn't a bad motor, just cramped as hell. They put out over 200hp stock, I can only imagine one turbo'd.Gt40881j;1779139 said:
Trucks can be a mixed bag man, my parents had a 96 CK1500 with an LT4 in it. That truck surprised a lot of people.flight doc89;1779151 said:
