a few days ago i was driving down tht highway and i saw a tibouron gt v6 and i pulled up next to him and took off and he went after me. we were about even until i shifted into 4th. then i slowly pulled away. i thought it was odd b/c everyone i know said that a tibouron gt v6 will smoke me in a race. but i guess i showed them. |

not saying that... just, I know my car made almost no power above 80 mph... felt anemic to tell you the truth... but if it were down around 70, I could manually put her in 2nd gear, and surprise some v-8 drivers with how quick she jumped to 80.. and then just shut her down like I was 'too good' to finish the race  ... but yeah, down from near a stop, it's a totally different race. Torque comes in to play... gearing comes in, all that sorta thing. When you're at interstate speeds, there are just too many things limiting the race.

i have a 2001 v6 mustang with flowmaster exhaust and cold air intake 5spd
i was a head of him the whole race and it grew larger the farther down the track we got
get this
after the race the guy say"my car aint running right i usually take v8 mustangs"

standard ricer excuse.
theyre not that great, supposedly they can get a mid 14 with the right driver, but like most drivers with imports, that aint gonna happen. i guess though theres a tuning apparatus that works on both the tibby and celica that takes almost a second off the 1/4 time because the cars run so rich and little timing from the factory, but it costs like $1200 bucks.

A dude that Kyle raced who had a specv said the same thing. I think it was missed gears, fuel is off, clutch was bad, and I think a couple more as the conversation progressed. Then again, he was claiming 240ish hp in a car that puts like 180 stock with just upgraded injectors. Silly ricers. lol
