Just recently i had come home afta spending some time with ma gurl ova in NZ. It felt crazi driving ma CRX after cruising around in a 1.5L auto Lancer dayymmmn.
While crusing around on the way back home i see a Turquiose 200SX with this massive cannon tip style exhaust from the back. Some cars u just have a feeling there that it's got a turbs(turbo) even without seeing wats under the hood.
I'm like in no way i am gonna rip it up while passing him cause he's gonna hear it from the rumble from ma exhaust and just shoot off.
So i prolonged the moment just cruising side by side with the rev's down low to keep it quiet as possible.@ times he would slow down waiting for me to pass, and i am like nah nah man u take the road take all of it.
Think think hw r u gonna do this?!?!
Ok i let him go like 5-6 car lengths ahead then i droped the gear and reved it out. Whoooshh!!! i make the pass and i don't even remotely think of slowing down. But as i look in the rear vision mirror those 200sx headlights begin to shine brighter and brighter. Then out from the side it flys past me.
Ok fine second attempt, this time there is traffic build up ahead. In terms of size there r things a gen2 CRX can do that a bigger sports car can't like fit in tight places. And for a moment when i thought i had it, when this 200 had a clear run blew ma doors down.
Searching more power for ma ride
:(
arent all 200sx's turbo?Quote:

I put my civic vtir manual up against a friends vs v6 auto and we had a dead heat.
This was in a remote location on a large stretch of road, my car is stock except for a home made intake and cannon, and his has extractors, mandrel bent exhaust and wider treadlies. His auto launch matched my launch and we dead even the whole drag through each gear, and this went well into fourth. A quarter mile time would have been identical. Quite a shock for me since ive always beaten aussie 6s, but obviously freeing up there restricive exhaust helps alot with there top end. Lesson learnt.
Not all there were a few s15 non turbos released. Come to think about it same with the s14. NOT many around but.Quote:

I've seen some SS V8 take on a GTR skyline and seen even the Skylines get their butts kick. gotta watch those v8s just oo much torque. a friend rebuilding his old V8 Classic and before the rebuild, where he dropped something even bigger v8 5.7 something or rather, it pulled like 12s down the qtr no trouble at all. and the bloody thing is an auto. :confused: Couldn't believe those bloody old crap moved so fast
