Just wondering what kinds of cars u guys are beating at the track or the "track" . only reason i ask is because, i'll be going to the tracks later this month (if it doesnt rain) to get some real numbers and i'll be running against my friends 93 celica (very lightly modded), 79 trans am (modded), and my dads 2004 lancer (lightly modded), 65 buick skylark (modded). Think I got a shot at winning any of those cars? ...I really think i want to get a NO2 kit, just for kicks and giggles that day , any input on that? Somehow i dont think that would make a differnce. hhmmmm ~ Fastest 95 Gl Atx Zetec in Long Beach ~ "Who would ever spend their money on a car that can't get 200hp N/A" ~ Slowest High Performance Car and Proud of it! ~

If I manage to get about 160 WHP... Can I beat him?

I honestly think i can beat the celica and the lancer, it is an auto just like me, and its not turbo'ed, however...That trans am i'm goign to race against is making around 350 - 400 hp at the wheels, and the skylark is a 4 speed with a 401 nail head making around 450-475 hp at the wheels, how come i shouldnt be worrying about those cars? If a 50 shot is all i need to drop some jaws then trust me i'll do it, butit doesnt seem very plausible right now ... ~ Fastest 95 Gl Atx Zetec in Long Beach ~ "Who would ever spend their money on a car that can't get 200hp N/A" ~ Slowest High Performance Car and Proud of it! ~

Just need the correct amount of fuel (and it needs to be premium) pull some timing, and two step colder plugs. Of course, the ATX will explode.
