My car has beat lets see...nothing worth gloating about until now. About 2 weeks ago I raced a modded mid 90's Honda Civic 5-speed, 4-cyl. Some of the mods were cold-air intake and exhaust. I think thats it anyway. Right from the start I took him with some brake tourquing and only gained on him after that. He is a very good driver so I know it wasn't from lack of experience that I won. He later told me with a smirk, "You got that V6 24valve, thats why you won." This might not be much, but for an 11 year old car prolly near the end of its days, it was a day the sun shinned on my baby.
and by raced you mean at the track right...
Of course. Anything else would be against my morals and religious beliefs.
Sweeet. You beat some mid 90s civic with intake and exhaust. Let us know when you beat a yugo, geo, or ups truck. I heard those are all pretty quick too!
Umm yeah...
Dude, even a stock svt is slow. (and I bet my svt cost less than your car!)
I wasn't critizing your car.
I guess want you want to hear is Great job! But a slow car beat another slow car. Really not exciting.
Yes this is a contour forum but i do have an interesting story of a race with my car and yes it was on a track.
I am not sure if its because of his driving but i recently beat a turbo'd Jetta running 21 PSI. He also had exhaust, intake, and a custom tuned chip.
I have a stock SVT, soon to put headers, intake, and exhaust just waiting to install.
I dont know about what you guys think but i was pretty happy to have beaten him.
What do you all think?
No the jetta was manual.. andhe was runnign 21 psi...
I'm impressed... impressed that the jetta owner could find a turbo small enough to not have enough power @ 21 psi to beat a contour.
