Win or lose. Post them here. I figure since we cant go into "kill stories" and post gettin beat by V-8's, V-6's or even I-4's for that matter, we can have our own kill/got-killed stories. Even if we post something like "killed a cavalier", it dosent catch the turbo crowd well. I have a couple that Ive posted before, but will re-post here. 1G or 2G. N/T's only. Hope this catches.

Beat a 95 GT
My first race since my cold air mod. I was just cruising around last night and saw a 95 mustang GT. I followed him around for a little while and he never even looked at me. I reved a couple of times and he didnt even care. I got in front of him and was about to give up when we actually got a light together. I reved and he still did nothing. I hate it when they think im a waste of gas ricer. So i take off anyway. He does nothing. We get up to another light and i have my friend with me who is a big mustang lover and i said "You think i can take him?", he said "Thats a negative". I said "Well im going to try anyway", so I rev and so does he. I hold the rpms to 3K and slip the clutch hard on take off and the guy in the mustang just drops it. He spins for just a little bit when Im out front by just a fender. It dead even til i shifted to second and he lets up. I couldnt believe i beat one. All it had was flowmasters im sure but some people think those cars cant be beat. After the race my friend was like "I think he hammered down on it". I just laughed.
My next race was with a 98 Cobra convertable. It had chrome cobra R's, a cowl hood, big spoiler, and some kind of exhaust with Z EATER on the license plates. Well anyway he pulled up next to me and i thought i heard some kind of whining like a supercharger. Sure enough he had a gauge pod where the clock goes in those cars and there was a boost gauge and some other gauge. We got a light and i was by myself and he was by himself. I reved and he knew what i wanted. So i take it to 4K and slip then drop it and spin all of first and he's only at my front bumper and he spins a little himself. Then i shift to second and he pulls out a little more and he only beats me by a car length in between us at about 60 at the end of my second. I thought man i kept up with that thing and he was getting on it cause it sounded awesome. And at no time did that boost guage even more cause i was watching it. Must be a bad case of domestic rice cause the only Z's he eating is Z24's.
Thanks for letting me waste your time. Scott
PS my mods are a Pacesetter header, header wrap, accel wires, NGK plugs, open K&N where the IC goes, Gutted converter, flowmaster on stock pipe, ported and polished head, and 10:1 compression.

I raced my girlfriend in her 92 cavalier last night 
. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's a 6 cyl. I'm dying to lift her hood b/c that thing has a lot of pull for a 4 if it is one. Anyways I was following her to her friend's house and she got a red light and just to be funny I pulled up in the other lane and revved. She revved back and the light turned green. We were pretty even through first. 5 grand was coming up in second and I knew that she had to shift so she did, but I kept it up to like 6500 before I shifted . Thats pretty much how I beat her..big power band.

Jesse - not bad for a 1.8L!!
Killed a Black Honda Civic, Riced out, going 120mph in a 65 highway with heavy traffic (Had me on top speed, but I am a pretty good driver, and have done so many mountain roads, I know how fast I can swerve and turn) After the race, we pulled off the highway (Me and my female 'assistant' next to me) and he pulls up nest to me, and thumps out his stereo. I turn mine up, and he gives up on that, he didnt have enough cash to buy sound system after the chrome rims, tint, and muffler tips. So then I motion to turn the stereos off. He yells that I got nothin on him, and my reply was simple "You may have a faster car, but I won because you dont know how to drive. Your car may be newer, but your sound system sucks, and you didnt get the girl." To which she wasnt my girfriend at the time, but she is now - and she was a stang' lover too, but now she likes the Turbo DSMs...
Second good kill was vs a 69 SS Camaro in downtown at about 11pm at night... It was white. Gorgeous car. I pull up at the light, and he pulls up next to me (The road is only 1 lane each way, because there is parking so it's a wide lane, but at the light it was car free, so temp 2 lane) I always loved Old camaros, so I roll down the window and start chattin with the guy. He's pretty friendly, talkin and whatnot, he's got a huge engine and more HP then my car could take, but he says, "You got a good lookin car, and you seem to be the fellow that wont turn down a challenge. Wanna try to beat me?" I took it. Right off the line he had me beat, I have an AT, so I knew his M/T would get me. So I was tailing him tight, keeping the pedal to the floor, with no more then a car length between us and slowly growing. I knew I'd loose. Then a car comes up infront of him, turning from a side road, and he brakes. We're both going 60 or so, and there's a yellow line to my left side, him infront of me, a car infront of him, and cars on the right curb, I think "is it wide enough?" I instantly swerve and slide in, with no more then 6" on each side from hitting something. The look on his face was good, the look on the Toyota that I shot by was priceless. Next light, about another 1/4 mile away, I take it easy, so he can catch up. He gives me a congrats on a great win, and tells me that I pulled a good move there, that there's no way he could have fit in that spot. I wasnt totally sure that I could make it, but the 90% was good enough. So a 69 SS was my second good kill.
Next good kill unfortunatly was not driving my 92 Talon, but my mom's 98 Grand Prix GTP. 4 Door Black Sedan. At a light, up pulls a ford probe GT with a dude in the driver seat that looks like he thinks he's the man... his sound system is second to none, but the premium system in the Grand Prix is good enough that I dont need to listen to the crap he's listenin too. With the windows rolled up I can hear him rev his engine, he's got it to redline, he wants to race. I dont rev, I laugh at him, and he looks pissed. The light turns green, and both of us peel, his stick first. My nose is half way down his side, he's got a small lead, and I watch the supercharger max out, the flick off the traction control, and floor it, and within the next 200 yards, I had atleast 3 car lengths on him. He got his ass handed to him by a sedan. That was funny.
Then the most recent. Not the best one, but good enough. So good, I didnt even need to go past 50mph! It's at your usual light, rainy, slick roads, and we're pointing uphill. Up next to me comes a late 80's firebird, all riced out. Seriously riced out. It looks pathetic. The paint is crap, but the chrome rims are big - too big - the tires are a sheet of rubber, and blue headlights, vynl decals and all - it looks sad. Off the light we go, and not even 50 feet out, he hits a BIG pothole. We were totally even, but I watch in the side window as his car sinks, and slams down. I pulled off the road to the side, left on my hazard lights, and walked back the 20 feet to his car in the rain. He's out swearing, and starts swearing at me as I come up. His tire is blown, the rim is bent to all hell, and it's actually pushing into the body. The rim was so big it fell in and hit the lip and stuck- and the car kept going. He probably had axle damage as well. Not pretty looking. He's swearing at me of how he's gonna sue me and how it's my fault. I just look back at him, this little round kid, about 17, trying to talk trash, and it's not working. I told him to shut up, and he did. "Racing is illegal. Lookin at this accident, every cop and insurance agent is gonna know you were going atleast 45 and it's a 30 zone. In bad weather too. It's very obvious. And there's nothing to say I was racing, not to mention I dont even have to stay here. It's not my fault you didnt look at the road and see that pothole. Not my fault your tires dont actually do anything, and your suspension is so low you couldnt get back out. It's not my fault your car is f%$*ed." I take out my cell phone, "Now, you wanna call someone, or you wanna sit in the rain?" I gave him the phone, and he called his older brother. They were talking and he was getting a little teary eyed, and then he hands the phone to me. He wanted to be sure the kid was okay and that nobody else was hurt. Asked me if I could stay till he got there, and I said I would. So I stood there, got out my jack and his, and he pulled the car out of the pothole, and stood there in the rain, I gave the kid some help, and his brother came a few minuites later in a pickup truck with a flat trailer. I helped them get it onto that, and his brother hit him good upside the head for being dumb. He then thanked me for not calling the cops on his brother, and gave me $5 for letting him use the cell phone and off he went. Not a nice kill no, but one of stupidity that he tried to race when he should have known better, and watched the road, that pothole was about 5 feet in diamter, most of it only an inch deep, but the part he hit was 5" deep. A sad story, but it proves again giving a brand new driver a lot of muscle and an ego is a terrible thing to do.
More kills to come!

beat by a '01 cavalier Z24
My friend bought a 2001 Cavalier Z24 about 2 months ago. Every once in a while, we talk about racing. So today we're playin b-ball, and we're gettin ready to leave and he says, "Your not goin home, your goin to race." So Im like, OK. We go to this place where everyone races called Co-Gen road (perfect 1/4 mile). We get there and a 3rd friend goes to the end to see the finish. We count to 3 and take off. I had him good on the start. Into 2nd and I still have him. As Im shifting to 3rd, he starts to pass me. He gets about 3/4 of a car on me as I top out in 3rd. I hit 4th for about 2 seconds, and then had to slow down. He ended up beating me by about 3/4 of a car. Not bad, considering he has about 55 HP on me.

1.8L vs. 2000 Malibu
OK. My girlfriend and I are in one car. And my friend and his girlfriend are in his mom's 2000 Malibu. We come to a light on RT.6 here in N.E. PA. There is no traffic, so I figure I'd mess with him. I start revving my engine and stuff, and he looks over and yells "wanna go?" laughing. So Im like "cool, Im goin to smoke this 4 cyl." I thought it was a 4, not a 6. So anyway. We start dead even, and I was pumped. We're doin about 60 and we're still dead even. I switch to 4th gear around 75 and I start to pull ever so slightly. Then we both let up cause we had to stop soon. So I guess you can say I tied a 2000 Malibu. Later, still bumbed that I couldnt beet this 4(still not knowing), I looked them up on my computer and seen that those things have a 3.1L? with 170hp. I was very surprised after reading that I even kept up.

I've got a few under my belt!
Well I haven't even had my 93 Eclipse GS 2.0 for half a year yet, but I've got quite a few races under my belt.
Kills(best to least):
1)96 Firebird- Smoked him for about 1/2 mile before I hit the hazords!
2)98 Integra(GSR?) Won by like 3 car lengths in 1/4 mile
3)97 Mustang GT- beat him in 1/4 mile by a good car length
4)Early 90's Mustang GT?(foxbody)- 3 car length lead before I hit the hazords from fear of top ending
5)95 Mustang GT- Don't even think it was a 1/8 mile before I decided to put him out of his misery HAZORDS!(6 car length lead)
6)98 Honda Accord- Not even a challenge. Poor ricer!
7)97 Honda Civic(modded)- Won by a good 4 car lengths!
8)Honda CRX(modded and riced out)- 3 car lengths
9)92 Honda Prelude- At least 10 car lengths!!!
10)97-98 Neon- Good 5 car lengths(keeps coming back for more)
11)Many more meaningless ricers and wanna be racers
Got Killed(smoked to held my own):
1)97-98 Integra GSR(fully modded)- launched great as I was ahead(3 seconds) by about 1 car length when I turned around and he was gone! Must of put at least 10 car lengths on me in 5 seconds! DAMN!!!!
2)late 80's early 90's Mustang Cobra?- Launched really bad and he gave me an ass whoopin! Must of lost by a good 6 car lengths! Oh Well, maybe some other day!
3)late 90's Integra Type R- What's so special about em? Gave him a good race and only lost by about a car length. Definitely not the best bang for the bucks!!!
DSM Encounters!:
1)2nd generation Eclipse GST- EVEN! Heard the turbo spool but no pull! Fender to fender for about 1/2 mile before we called it quits and pulled over to chat!
I'd say I've done fairly well considering my baby is almost stock! Mods include K&N filter(no air can) and Custom exhaust system(not very big though)! Other miscellaneous free mods.

1)97-98 Integra GSR(fully modded)- launched great as I was ahead(3 seconds) by about 1 car length when I turned around and he was gone! Must of put at least 10 car lengths on me in 5 seconds! DAMN!!!!
2)late 80's early 90's Mustang Cobra?- Launched really bad and he gave me an ass whoopin! Must of lost by a good 6 car lengths! Oh Well, maybe some other day!
3)late 90's Integra Type R- What's so special about em? Gave him a good race and only lost by about a car length. Definitely not the best bang for the bucks!!!
DSM Encounters!:
1)2nd generation Eclipse GST- EVEN! Heard the turbo spool but no pull! Fender to fender for about 1/2 mile before we called it quits and pulled over to chat!
I'd say I've done fairly well considering my baby is almost stock! Mods include K&N filter(no air can) and Custom exhaust system(not very big though)! Other miscellaneous free mods.

I've only had my Talon since early March, but I've had a few races with the local ricer gangs.
A late model Honda Prelude in the rain. I creamed his ass after a LONG burnout. Couldn't get any traction (looked and sounded cool though)
An eighty something Camaro. We were sitting at a light in front of the grocery store, and he kept eyeing me. I just got the car, so I pretended not to see him for a few seconds. I wasn't sure of my cars potential at the time. The light went green, and he floored it. I almost went home with my nuts in my hand, but my kid brother was in the car with me, and he would never have let me live it down. So I gunned it with him about 1 1/2 car lengths ahead of me, and quickly caught up, then passed him before the lanes merged. Laughed my ass off cause he followed me home glaring at me in my rear view. Come to think of it now I know where that flaming bag-o-shit came from that I found on my porch that evening. Went home with my head so swollen I had trouble getting outta my car.
A REALLY hot girl in a Neon on the same stretch of road a few weeks later kept riding my ass on a two lane road. I wanted her to pass so's I could get a better look (I'm a pig, and I don't care) I finally gave up, and floored it. She was almost a quarter mile behind me when the road merged. I think she didn't push it as hard as she could have though.
An ass load of civics and Del Sol's (around a dozen) almost all of them riced out with mommy and daddy's money on route 30 have went home crying after pushing me around. I gotta end it there, cause my neck hurts from my inflated ego now

Another kill for the 90 Laser 2.0 NT
I raced a 90-91 Talon Tsi AWD tonight. It was completely stock. I got up next to him at a light and revved a little. I didnt hear him rev but when the light turned i never saw a car take off so fast and i could hear it chirping the tires ever so lightly. There was no way i could even keep up from a stop so i didnt even try. He let off quick. I got up to him again and he just had a dead stare on his face not paying attention to anything. I get up about a block from him and i guess he wants to run me back cause he comes flying up like a honda fly-by so i dropped it down into second at about 45-50 and stomped it when he was about at my back bumper. I took it to 7K then shifted to 3rd. He was not gaining any ground at all. I went all the way to 90 MPH and he still was back there. I let up and woosh, there he goes. I turn around and go along my original path. Ok my question is could my mods and his drivetrain loss acount for him not gaining on me? Im 100% for sure it was stock. I had a friend too and he was by himself. I would have traded my car for that Tsi anyday of the week if i didnt already have a 91 turbo laser, and i would probably have traded anyway, lol.
I have ported and polished head, 10:1 compression, K&N and MAS in fenderwell, pacesetter header, header wrap, sccel wires, ngk plugs, gutted cat, and flowmaster on stock exhaust.
Blade_93GS- What free mods do you have? I was just wondering if theres some free stuff i dont have.
Thanks. Scott

My races
I raced a new Couger from about 75up on the interstate daybefore yesterday
he came up on me going about 80(i was doing 70) and reved at me, so im like what the hell and rev back and get even with him
he cuts on his interior light(at night) and nods his head and i hit third and go, hold it till redling and hit fourth and kept on walking
i got to about 125 and had about a car and a half on him and hit the hazards, then noticing how close i am to my exit get on the brakes hard to exit, my first kill
well after that i got a tad bit cocky
so yesterday i was going to work and a honda sports bike(CBR??) came up next to me doing about 75 on the interstate
so i drop to thrid and rev hard
he looks and me and shrugs his shoulders and then nods at me so i take that as a lets go signal
i floored and and thought i had hit the brakes.....
in about 5 seconds he had gotten 15-18 car legths easy
i was crying i was laughing so hard
i always heard bikes were faster than cars but DAMN!!!
in my Z24(POS) cavalier(92) i raced a Z28 and he didnt pull near that fast, it was insane the speed this thing got...so leason learned...no more racing sports bikes..wonder if i can take out a harley....

Bikes
Friend of mine has a bike, idk what exactly is is, it's a honda I think, with like 95hp on it. Now think of it. If a talon weighs 2600(being a little light on the lbs here) and we got 170hp(Being generous with hp) He's got a bike and him weighin about 450-500lbs. He's got 1/5th the weight and more then half the hp... the numbers say he's got more pull per pound then we can see. But then again, if he gets into an accident, he wont be around as much as us in our dsms...

Mustangs suck
Who says the new V6 mustangs are fast?? I know they old ones were VERY slow, but rumor ahs it the new ones are pretty quick. I was very curious. I pulled up next to a brand new red convertible. Some jackass driving, with his girlfriend in the car. My friend and I look at each other and know he will bite. So, I inch forward, revvin a little, so he looks over, and inches forward a little more. The light turns green and we both launch. I pulled half a car before I hit second!! We got to about 85, and I was a good 2 cars on him. I hit the hazards, and laughed. Dont mess with non turbo baby!! That guy learned his lesson. And his girlfriend was ugly too.

At high speeds, its all equal.....
When your doing 110, it doesn't matter if you have a turbo or a non turbo. I have raced M3s, all types of Porsches, an Audi TT, A4s, Integras, etc. Sometimes we don't race but just cruise at upwards of 100+ mph. It's more fun screwing around with a sweet car for an extended period of time, rather than just a quick race where one of you gets wasted.
For instance, one time at 2am I was coming home from Atlantic City. I was following this black Porsche 911 Carrera, we were both doing like 100 the whole way. We fucked around with each other a little, but I just had fun cruising at 100mph with him. Other times I think cars are just intimidated by the way mine looks and won't even fuck around with me... (WW Agressor kit, 18" Fittipaldi Diablo's, slammed w/H&R coilovers, Altezza tails, one of a kind combat wing by WW that they gave me for fucking up the first one they sent)

2nd Gen NA MR2
It happened Friday evening after work on the way to a friend's house. I was getting onto the freeway, and there was an MR2 behind me. He was riding my ass heading towards the freeway onramp, and I noticed he had aftermarket rims and some scoop-looking thingy on the roof behind the door, so I figured he would probably want to go. I was hoping he didn't have a turbo under the hood
Anyhow, getting onto the freeway, we both gunned it. Being that he was behind me on the onramp, he caught up to me damn quick. Soon as the onramp merged onto the freeway, there he was right beside me. My first thought when he pulled up beside me was "oh shit, he's got turbo..I'm toast". To my surprise, we were neck and neck until probably around 90mph, at which point I started to pull on him. By the time I hit about 115mph, I had a good 4 or 5 car lengths on him so I shut it down. At that point, I think he just kinda gave up anyway, I'm pretty sure he could have pushed it a little harder on the top end and made a better run of it.
Funny thing was about twenty miles later, I was getting onto another freeway interchange and who do I see right in front of me? Good old Mr. Two again. I made it a point to blow past him at a high speed and slow down for him, but he didn't even bother this time.

Re: Bikes
170hp? why would you say that..... the 1.8s have 92 the 2.0s have 135 and the turbo awds have 195(all first gen, second gen - 2.0- 140 and turboawd 210) you cant even use that as an average for people w/ mods. so what made you pick 170.roadpie4u said:Friend of mine has a bike, idk what exactly is is, it's a honda I think, with like 95hp on it.

my brother has a 99 v6 stang, its great on the low end (no need to rev to 3k+ to keep up w/ traffic) but on the hig end i don't think it leaves too much for our cars to desire.
stock for stock, i still say the new v6 stangs got us though
what i like about more cylinders is the passing power!!
