Because you're a contrarian by nature?

If the kid had to ask, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with Josh here. The kid probably can't turn the boost up to 15psi because his mal-nutrient t-25 can't handle much more than that and his BOV won't work properly

Hmm I can think of a few reasons he might say that.

sleepy2lazy · 09-29-2006

Even from a roll, I think it will be fairly matched, will depend on driver only.
I've met a few preludes. Plus on a roll, if you guys are in the lower mph, your fine. Higher, and you may have a harder time.

Better yet pull the wastegate vac line and say your done on that t2small. You take him easy. But in all respect...6k drop is saying alot for an AWD. I still say baby it out of the hole and tear it up after first. You give that lude some hope. hahaha I go for the big T28 for your setup as is.

if you don't have upgraded clutch and pressure plate I would stay around 5000 to 5500, but then again you could just slip the shit out of it to built a lot of boost.

Depends on the race I guess. It was never said they would drag race. Even though that's all that most think about anyways. I'm pretty sure they are though.

Sounds like you should practice a little beforehand (at the track). Then take him on at the track so you have the printout proving who really won.

I'd say it's gonna be close if his buddy knows how to race his Prelude.

Now if they do any twisty work, the Prelude will wax that 2g. Unless it's on dirt, then the 2g will be very forgiving for an inexperienced driver.

It's the one stipulation I put on anyone that wants to race me. I get to pick the track!!!!

We raced, i got him off the line missed 2nd twice he jumped ahead grabed 2nd got right back up there then we stayed even till like 5th gear his h22 pulls hard he pulled away. O and yah my oil line burst for the turbo at 120mph lots of smoke and the turbo was glowing red no damage just need to replace that line.

niterydr · 10-14-2006

So the prelude won?
Where is my cookie?

Tough luck on the turbo, hopefully nothing is damaged severly.

Also you guys arnt going to belive this but i beat a 95 supercharged trans am 5.7 lt1 vortech supercharged yeah hes a kid from my town st. peter, mn he claims it runs 12s i beat him until 110 mph and my talon is stock so im pretty sure i beat him in the 1/4 mile and if you guys dont belive me ask 3speedgsx he was there with his 91 fox body gt mustang

Good kill. From roll prelude, from dig, dsm, that was the theory the entire time.

**JET** · 10-15-2006

Something must be off with the TA, since your car wouldn't make it out of the 15's. He probably messed up the launch or something. Nice kill!

Well his T/A is a automatic, he spun the tires a little bit.

FattyBoomBatty · 10-15-2006

I choose DSM. Am I too late? I skipped the first 54 posts or what have you.

3speedgsx · 10-15-2006

I did see the race with the Trans Am in person. It's a 1995 Automatic, Vortech Supercharger pushing 6 Psi. He also has 3.73's and BBK throttle body and a couple other supporting mods. I don't know whats up with it, it should run 12's no problem, I have no idea why it's so slow. Then i seen the talon beat the prelude and then i raced with my new car 1991 Mustang Gt 5-speed with a couple non-motor mods done to stiffin the fox up and it was a good race. We will have to rerace to get a clear outcome on whos car is faster. Also how is a car a TALON with 200k and a screwed up tranny even that fast??

untouchable · 10-15-2006

wanna race tha neon lmao

xveganxcowboyx · 10-15-2006

I want to know how a prelude isn't beat by most everything. Seriously, 190 horse and 160 ft lbs. I'm not impressed. I don't care how sweet tha V-TAK is.
