ha ok so here i am bored an i decided to go out an street race some random peeps in my local street scene.
first off was a 2001 Lexus IS200 M/T with intake an catback exhaust, an well too my suprise he was remarkably slow.....from the launch he got off to about half a length ahead but at 1-2 shift i began gaining(i think he doesnt know how to power shift lol) an by the end of 2 going into 3rd i pull ahead a full length an by 80 im clearly wining by 1 1/2-2 lengths. he said he dropped it at about 3500rpm at launch while i was able to full brake/full throttle from 2400. so should i be suprised at the win?....i know stock his car has 215bhp. ok off to my next victim a 2nd gen acura tl 3.2 coupe A/T.....im pretty sure it was a standard 3.2 at 225bhp considering the Type S versions are rated for 260bhp. well short story from launch to 65 it was all me by alot lol..again should i be suprised?
an last which to no suprise a friend with an 2nd gen prelude H22 M/T fitted with intake exhaust an some minor other tweaks...at the launch it was easily quicker but mid way in second it was basicaly an one car race with me in the lead lol...did catch the wrong side of a SS colbalt which proved worth all 220 supercharged ponies were there an easily dispatched me lol.

No, you shouldnt be surprised really. These cars are pretty decent in stock form.
But next time if you want to race, take it to the track

Oh god here we go with the bashing

well ill put my 2 cents in even though im sure this thread will be locked soon.No you shouldn't be surprised Ive taken my buddy 3.5SL Altima quite a few times and took a honda coupe and sedan V6.These cars seem to have really nice power for them being a 3.3 im surprised but love my sonata.Yes racing belongs at the track but to be honest ive only gone to race at the track a couple times,either way Ive gone up against quite a few cars but some to really remember are

2007 Dodge charger on 20's no i didn't beat him but i was on his **** the whole time,driver even said a hyundai?? **** nice job keeping up
2006 Honda Accord Intake and catback,Beat car length 40 Roll to 100 and 0 to 105
2008 Coupe and Sedan Honda Accord ,Beat car length highway 70 to 105 and then sedan was a red light
2007-2008 Nissan Altima Coupe and Sedan Both intake and exhaust 3.5 SE and 3.5 SL beat, both highway same time 2 car lengths 65 to 110
2006 Acura TL V6 unknown mods Beat half a car red light
2006 Cobalt SS Beat 2 car lengths idk how you let him beat you but that was a simple win for me!

Plenty more too but those are some off the top of my head at least in the sonata now the G's list HA haven't been beat yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
