How badly will my cousins MKIII 90 Turbo be able to whoop me?

And are they good reliable cars?

Has he been to the speed shop? It could be a "whuppin" or a bad "whuppin" Got Nitrous?
Maybe you could suprise him

 

[Sterling]

his name is Phaux on the boards
just check some of his post

He has new intake.. exhaust and blow off valve.. not sure about downpipe...

Having some troubles with his engine, so he is loosing performance, and doesnt want to push it.


I think I could beat him if he doesnt get his car fixed.
oh and his is an automatic.

mine would be a 5 speed Manual

If your stop signs are 100 feet apart or less, he's toast. After that....

VERY cool

I would LOVE to smoke him

Since his is a 4 speed (right? auto is 4 speed?) and mine is 5..

And I can get to 4th and 5th faster... do you think I would have an advantage there? a noticeable one...

Bye, bye

Sorry, but not a chance. You'll take him off the line because you have a 4.0909 diff, and he has a 3.7 if it's an LSD. Once he spools that turbo though....His is a 4 speed which does not give much control over shift points, but as I said, once he spools that turbo.... I recommend you shift at 5800 in 1st, and 6200 in 2nd if you have a 6500 redline.

Maybe even better

You might even have a 4.300 diff. That should be good for 103.5 feet!

There's just no subsitute for boost. If you had a custom built motor you might have something for him, but he could get bolt on stuff & easily reclaim his advantage. His car is stock right?
