This seems to be a epic and personal battle for me to win, let me explain.

durning highschool i was portrayed as the kid with the fast car at my school (one kid had a new GTI but his parents bought it for him so i was cooler) anyways, one day a girl i knew's boyfriend pulled up in a civic SI (new one, white looked nice) so she proceeds to tell me and everyone else that her boyfriends car could waste mine in a race, i said it probly can cuz it did cost 8,000 dollars more then my car. well fast forward about six months to my grad, i am outside talking to the guy in the civic (me and him are...kinda friends? at this point) so we are talking cars and of course the conversation gets to "my cars faster then your car but we should race" so i let him know what i have done to my car (intake, muffler) and he tells me he has a intake and is looking at getting a kpro tune or something. ok now its summer, i got some more goodies on my car (short shifter) and a header/downpipe on the way, i bump into this guy everywere and he always wants to race, but i am always with my girlfriend and i dont like racing with her in the car incase something happens and i injury or possibly kill her.

so what do you think my chances are? a intake/h/d/e sts cobalt vs a civic with a intake??

cobaltL61

Let us know. If it is up a hill, you will win

I'll give the nod to you if those 2.4 intakes give the gains I've heard they do, and you nail the launch. Stick it to him and shut his GF's mouth, sounds like she has a big one.

And where did you go to school where an SS N/A was the fastest(ish) car in the lot? My highschool had a dude running a built, boosted T/A that would make a big-turbo SRT-4 **** its pants (this was in '01).

DaREDss

yeah my school was a little more baller, we had a fully built sr20 s14 450hp pump gas, bolt on mustang gt with spray ran 12's, 2 skittles, 2 ss/sc, sr20 on 14lbs, gst, gti, 04 cobra , 06 mustang gt with bolt ons, and a ls1 gto.

_UnLiMiTeD_

my school had a few mustang Gt's, a turbo civic, LS1 t/a, LS1 Camaro, 305 Camaro, a Ford harley davidson truck with a $20,000 paint job and then just beater cars. at that time i had a 93 beretta 3.1 with exhuast and intake, it was faster then all the other beater cars muhahha lol

BULLETSSMOKE

if its 0-60, you automatically win, unless you just suck at driving. but you should win

_UnLiMiTeD_

having torque FTW, but with your boltons you should be rigth at his hp level and more torque.

Projekt

ok boys and girls lets not have a highschool e pissing match ahah, i went to a small private high school, so like i said, it was me and the GTI boy

BULLETSSMOKE

2.4's come like 150-155whp stock. Si's are like 180-185WHP stock.....but like 110wtq stock....lol

If it's a dig race, you should take him by half a car.

Projekt

good to know, i plan to do it from a dig, i dont wanna test my chances from a roll against VTOK

BULLETSSMOKE

If he requests highway run, just say no and start laughing at him. Say you only do your races like real men from a dig.

BradSi

Take his g/f for a ride in the balt. Apparently she has never felt torque.

Z06vettespd

It's going to come down to where and how fast you shift. Have you taken it to the track and if so what where your times?

whodis

2.4l balts are 175 hp and with the torque should beat him silly.

FASTL61

Dude..2.2's are faster than those civics.lol atleast the 2 i raced at the track.My 15.5 to there 15.7

memphisr24

Get some dr's on the bich

Projekt

oh yeah, my stock time was 15.45 so i am not really worried about shifting

i beat the **** out of my shifter, much like something else that resemables that shape.

mrsilent13

lol....thats a good one....you should give this a try

teh_punk

a guy in my class had an nsx, an m3, and a Z06. he got t-boned by a drunken off-duty cop in pennsylvania, settled with the city for millions, then moved to indiana.

WhiteSSBalt

I beat both a new Si and an RSX type-S with my current setup. It'll be close.

Factory specs mean nothing. Dyno charts and driver skill are the key factor.
