...Who will win the race?

[96240SX]

Ok, I just betted a couple of my friends that I'm going to beat them in a race..The mods on my car...atleast in a couple of weeks...is an injen intake, and the exhaust that I will hopefully get, the tanabe G Medallion. BUT, I have an automatic. One of my friends, which has a 94 toyota corolla..LOL has a k and n filter charger on his car, but nothing else. its an auto. My other friend has a 96 chevy cavilier, its a stick. I betted them each 20 dollars that I will kick their ass in a heartbeat, but I hope I am right. ( or ill be out 40 dollars)

I'm pretty sure that I will beat the corolla, I beat him once, and thats without all my stuff that I will have on, but now he has that filter charger...but I can still probably beat him easily withouth all my stuff.

The cavilier might be a little harder, since he has a stick shift. Everyone keeps telling me that he will beat me, but they don't know about all my "new" stuff..  But there might be a chance that my stuff won't be ready by then, but hopefully, i can make him wait a couple more days.

So..who do you think is goign to win?

Who will win?

My money is on you <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

You've got to win for team 240.

Just watch out for the cavalier...they're actually pretty spunky cars stock. &nbsp;My dad had a corsica v6 and that engine comes in the cavalier. &nbsp;Let me tell you that a 3.1 v6 packs a punch. &nbsp;If he's got the 2 litre....don't sweat it....no contest.

[96SEChick]

I think you've got a good chance at winning. &nbsp;How good of a 5-speed driver is the Cavalier owner? &nbsp;It probably doesn't matter--you've got a 240SX and he's got a Cavalier--you'll win! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Good luck!

[lunatik]

OK 96240sx

&nbsp;I'll tell u what, that corolla. &nbsp;that won't even be a race even ifyour carwas atock, andhis was modded they aren't fast at all. &nbsp;As for the cavalier, well my gf has a 96, pretty much stock. &nbsp;I have a 95 SE, and she can't even keep up. &nbsp;If you lose t eithe then u are doig something wrong. &nbsp;Good luck, and makes us proud!!!!!

[STOCK240sx]

dont worry man. its a 240sx it'll win.

i have the same question kinda too. will i be able to beat any of these cars with my 5-speed STOCK240?

1. 00 celica gts auto
2. 00 audi a4 1.8t stick
3. 99 honda accord v6 and i4 auto
4. 00 prelude
5. 93 lexus ES

please say that i can at least beat the ES. haha
thanks

[96240SX]

well hehe, It sounds like you guys have a lot of faith in me. Ill make sure to it that I will win. But the real standings will be placed on august 12th or 13th. I will tell you guys who wins of those 2 races. Thanks for the input!

[matic 240sx]

dude you so got this race in the bag!! &nbsp;and stock240sx, you wont beat the celica, and accord v6 for sure, you better beat the i4 accord... i dont think you will beat the prelude... i dont know about the ES, but the celica gts... will spank you for sure... &nbsp;they are running 14s

[STOCK240sx]

haha its over then. &nbsp;need to challenge them on canyons then. no straightaways.

[96SEChick]

The Celica will probably even beat you in the twisties. &nbsp;Those things handle unbelievably well. &nbsp;There was a stock 2001 Celica kicking everybody's ass (including an NSX, modified Miatas, and Porsche Boxters) by at least 5 seconds at SCCA events. &nbsp;They're awesome cars when it comes to handling.

Celica's are really THAT fast? &nbsp;I did not know that. &nbsp;I've raced several stock preludes and from my experience...if you are stock like myself, you will spank it 0-60...just after 60mph &nbsp;that v-tech kicks in and woosh....gonzo.

95240sx....pump those cars and pump em gud.

***you got a lot of pressure riding on this....gotta save face <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[LanceS13]

96240SX, I think you have both those races in the bag.

STOCK240sx, I don't know about the audi and lexus, but the prelude, celica gts, and accord v6 will take you. &nbsp;The i-4 accord will be an easy win.

[West]

You *Should* win depending on how well of a driver he is. Experiment with starting off the line. Hold the brake down and push the accelurator down some so you can get a small jump off the line. Im not sure if this helps or not but give it a try before the race just to make sure. You should win if you have your Injen and Exhaust. Just hope it isnt the z24 Cavalier.

[gt7152b]

Yeah, it helps to power brake an auto 240. Just see how high you can get the rpm's without spinning the tires on take off. The higher you can rev it, the better.

[98 nismo S14]

you will prob be about even with the prelude, i beat a 5th gen SH but mine isnt stock....

[LanceS13]

stock vs. stock and equal drivers, a 240 can't beat a prelude...base or SH. &nbsp;

Will my Turbo KA @ 6psi on a TO4 beat a Mustang GT w/ modded exhaust and intake?

Oh by the way, I 'm referring to the new model stang that brings 260 to the crank

Should smoke him.

Wow, you just made my day West. I am anxious because I haven't put the turbo in yet, but by next week it should be in. There is a stang that always drives by thinking he's hot stuff and I want to see the look on his face when I pass him.

[HondakillaS14]

96240sx, you should definitely have these guys beaten hands down...but then again it all comes down to the driver....and Bomex, like West said you'll have no problem with the stang

[98 nismo S14]

you better be able to beat that GT! im about even with a 94 GT with cold air and a H-pipe, i have CAI, header, GReddy Cat-back, cams, ACT clutch.....

[96240SX]

West: the Cavilier is a 4 cylinder, lol. Maybe I should raise the stakes a little...

[96240SX]

Bomex: Is that orange car really yours? If it is, that is one nice peice of car. I would be scared S#@!less to race it.

[andwys]

Before my 240 i had a 93 cavilier 5 spd. &nbsp;Those front wheel drive piece of craps are in insult to all cars. &nbsp;They about the same power as the 240 though I think you will win

[lunatik]

Well I'm glad that you guys told me before i got spanked. &nbsp;You see i have been lusting to race a Prelude, or a Celica. &nbsp;I think i will wait for some upgrades before taking on them!

96240sx: Yes that is my car. I wanted to link up a picture I had on overboost, but this one is more recent. It looks like &nbsp;beast, now I'm trying to get it to run like one. It takes alot of research to build the KA. I have been talking to different people and getting advice from turbo KA owners. Chris May from executive clean car is a really cool guy. He knows ALOT about the motor and his is in the 400+ range.

[96240SX]

How much did the body kit cost to install? I've always wanted to know the answer to that question..

[All motor 240]

Stock240SX, I raced the new turbo A4 when I had auto and I/H/E and it was about even. Now that its converted and Ive added a new ECU and camgear im sure I'll blow him away.

Well, I had the car painted and the kit installed at the same time so it was a package thing, so I can't tell you for sure

What are you guys talking about? &nbsp;I have a completely stock 240sx and can stay dead even with 94 and older mustang GT sticks, newer auto GT's, can beat trans ams and accords aren't even a challenge neither are preludes even ones with HEAVY mods. &nbsp;But i have been told my car is a friek because even 240 owners can't beleive how fast my car is. &nbsp;I ran 15.12 @ 95.1 mph at the track COMPLETELY stock.

[LanceS13]

your car is definitely a freak or your some awesome driver or both....most 240s run a full second slower than that stock

but did you have to revive a topic that's been dead for three months?

[whateverjames]

i think it's possible





with slicks maybe

[confi168]

hey i've been thinking &nbsp;about getting new clutch for my 92 s13, prob a racing clutch. Which one do you guys recommend?

sorry just searching for something i never saw before and i would reccomend Clutch Masters clutches i've heard good things about them.

sorry meant 15.21 but my car has something wrong with it now and it can only do high 15's and low 16's. &nbsp;It's been slower since the check engine light went OFF, go figure.

[Klah Kalash]

This is probably annoying, but how about this:

My '90 240SX SE

against

My freinds '95 V6 Avenger

Both auto, both stock...

I heard the avenger is 0-60 in like 9 secs.....
How would my 240 compare to that?

[konkman]

Well as for the first race, the corola is an easy win, the cavalier will be your challange. &nbsp;Just make sure you take off your resonator box before your race.

As for the avenger, I don't think you'll beat the stock torque of the v6 avanger. &nbsp;My $0.02.

[gh6o6]

so a 240 is faster than a normal mustang?

[chickenmanq]

For christ's sake, it's a corolla and a CAVALIER! &nbsp;I don't care what engine it has, the body's put together by Chevy! &nbsp;He'll probably scatter bolts all over the road when he shifts! &nbsp;And I like Corollas, but come on, you have a Nissan! &nbsp;Makers of the 300z's, the 510's. &nbsp;Is there really any doubt you'll kick their @$$?

[misnomer]

A 91 and later 240 should be able to edge out the older (98 or so and back) V6 Mustangs. If my source is right, they've got us beat in torque, but only 145 horsepower in a much heavier vehicle. I'll have to drive my friend's stang a bit more before I decide finally <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
