I just raced my buddie's durango on saturday night in his gated community (good spot - patrol guys are little *****es and they take a good 15 minutes to get to you). That should have been a breeze of a race, except that he has a 5.9 Liter R/T. WOW. that thing moves. If they only made it in a stick. I'd say hes in the low 7's mabye high 6's cause he kept up with me. The first race, I had him all the way. The second race, he got a killer start and had me for 1st and part of 2nd gear, but soon as i hit 3rd, i was gone. And i wasnt shifting ! . We stopped of at 100 or so each time. It was great . Tried my buddie's GS4 later...heh...bye bye...but then i raced him again with my dad's car (S55 AMG) and I roasted him. I'd like to try a GS430 with my dad's Sclass...I think it'd be close...

I had a civic Si (RIP) that had an h/i/e, plug wires, fuel pressure reg, and had the timing advanced on it and I kept up with my buddies IS300 up till about 98 mph. His is a 2001. Just thought I would let you know since I was reading and someone put "a civic would have to be heavily modified", but if they were speaking about a race (like my old Si) verse a new IS300 (5-speed) then it would smoke my old civics @ss! Thats for sure! (oh, and we took off at a 20 mph roll)

yeah...it was probably a GSR. Unless it was an LS block with the GSR head...then its actually faster than the GSR up till about 100 to 110 mph. Thats a good race though...because the integras are pretty lite!

oh.. and one more thing! before i race that INteg GSR.. i had a rolling start.. (starting about 20 mph) with an old model M3. and i was surprised that i beat him up to 2nd gear... did he shift wrong? i dunno.... he abruptly stopped and i wondered why he did that! (it was a red light in front of us)... luckily, there were no cars.. so i breezed through it avoiding fatal accidents! n e how, yeah... up to the point where he hit the brakes hard, his hood was right next to my window! ...

hmmm....lets see..
Defeated a few integras..some GSR and a few unknowns. Took care a couple of civics, the new trailblazer, and an 99 accord 2 door. All these were on rolling start. When i get enough $$ for forced induction, then ill try WRX, S4, and most american muscle.

Well the last light we can possible race at. We started going and I heard his engine rev. Bamm! we both floor it. Beat me barely by a car length. Mind you mine is just stock E/S. At the end he told me about his bother in-law that just got an IS. Coincidence I found the brother in-law on is300forum.com. Small world.

I just passed the 2500 mile mark so I'm not allowed to race (in my mind). The only guys I've raced were just a 1.8 (right?) Z3, an older Altima GXE, and a '99 Maxima. I have yet to go up against someone that is worthy, but I will eventually. I also don't want to race too much until I get my exhuast on.
We'll see though. I want to get my boss out in his '68 Shelby Mustang, and my other boss in his '97 M3. I'm sure that both will smoke me but it'll be fun. Plus the guy in the M3 doesn't know how to drive, so I've got an advantage.
