Hey there, my best friend just bought a 2000 Acura Integra GS-R w/ I/H/E and some wider tires, I told him that my 92 240SX SE Coupe has a chance of beating him, am I out of my mind or can I actually take him (I am a better driver than he is)

Post by **mattdesmond** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

IMO it's about 50% driver and 50% car in general. His car is probably faster than yours, but if you can out drive him, you have a chance. A good race would be to race then switch cars and do it again.

you'll be a good match, altough watch out for the vtec, make sure you take your limiter off LOL

Post by **silkk** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

gs-r + i/h/e = fast. if you lose, challenge him to a drift battle :P

Post by **black_s13** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

hell smoke you in speed, but you should be able to out drive him

Post by **SilviaS14KA24DE** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

OK You will lose. He has a 2000 GSR; stock with 170hp and with intake, header, and exhaust probably 180hp. You have a 1992 240sx SE with 155hp stock and 180k miles on the engine. You're engine has a lot more wear and tear so is producing less horsepower (prob around 140-145) plus the FWD setup of the GSR is more efficient at putting the power at the ground. His car is also lighter by a couple hundred pounds. And for driving skill; it doesnt matter much with this difference in power unless he misshifts or doesnt know a thing about launching.

you'll probably lose, but damnit! this country wasn't built by losers that didn't buck the ****in' odds.

race him and find out.

and if you're not sure, better not bet any money...

and don't make another vs. thread, I hate these damn things!

Post by **SupraMKIII** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

is touge only mountains? I thought it was everything involving consecutive hairpins

Post by **jdmfreak** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

Well any tome I watch touge racing clips or videos I see them on some sort of mountain. IDK if they do it anywhere else though.

Post by **driftaholic** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

touge literally means "mountain pass" even if the pass is a freakin 8-lane freeway that's almost straight. if it goes over a mountain, it's a touge

Post by **PantherRacer** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

^_^ now I don't have to say it ^_^

Post by **jdmfreak** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

Post by **Fenvy** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

chllange him in drifting? that's lame

having a rwd drivetrain advantage isn't fair if you want to race by "drifting"

even though a fwd, gsr produce more horse power, rev higher, variable valves timing, better power band, better suspension, you will very likely lose

Post by **SupraMKIII** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

yeah fwd is easier to drive fast than rwd because if you **** up you just have to lift off throttle and steer more and your car wont spin out as much. RWD is still better overall but if you dont have any skills driving rwd the fwd will beat you.

Post by **PantherRacer** » Thu May 27, 2004 5:18 pm

it all depends on your skill....what are y'all takes on awd? are there such things as 4wd silvias/240's?
