Question N/A guys...what can you beat?

I am addressing the N/A guys(& girls):

What have you beaten & what mods do you have? I beat a new dodge ram V8 from about 60-95 or so last night.

typhoon is really an SUV but yeah its so damn quick. There is a nice one at a used cars place around here. It's so nice.
And you're forgetting the Syclone. That'll definately give you a run for your money

Hell, my friends step dad had like a 92 S-10 with the biggest V-6 you could get. That thing was really fast to think about it. So is my friends other V-6 S10

Thank You

As for kills, i don't have many, just a couple of trucks. I haven't really raced anything else. I try to get other people to race, but no one seems to want to race.

I did race my friend in a fiero, with my clogged cats so he beat me And I've raced Skibum9199, in his 86 base na, but i haven't beaten him yet.

I have few kills (nobody ever races me). But ones that I can remember:

'98 or so Civic EX (I know, easy)
'98 or so Integra Vtec
'80 RX-7 (my friend's)

As far as truck kills I only have one:

'76 F250 with a 390 V8. (my friend's, this was like 6 years ago when I first got my car and it had no mods)

Barretta GT with the Quad 4.(Quad 4 actually had more power than the V6)From a roll in 2nd.This one was with jus a header and pre-silencer and stock muffs.
Geo metro.Pre HKS mufflers
Nissan Frontier 40-90
Mid '90s S-10 with a 4.3 V6 From about 70 in third.Also before the HKS mufflers and intake.
'89 Rx-7 GXL with a catback and Bonez filter.
Mid '90s Accord.From too low of rpms in third and he had a head start.
2000 S-10 with a 4.3 Vortec and a flowmaster.From a stop.Side by side in first,started pulling on him in second was ahead when went into third had to stop for next light.It was my cousins truck.

Same 2000 S-10 but had added a K&N cone filter and he had reprogramed his ECU with a hypertec programmer.Started in first at about 10mph.Dead even through first and second started pulling on him in third.His nose was at about my mirror when I had to let out because we were coming up on traffic.let out around 75.I rode in this truck about two days before and it felt strong.I expected to lose.His owners manual says its rated at 180hp from the factory so I'd guess he's a little over 200hp at the flywheel now.

losses
'85 300zx Beat me by.05 seconds in the 1/8.Nose to nose across the line.K&N cone filter.
My wifes 90 Camaro with a tuned port 350 from an '88 IROC.Dynomax cat,3" from cat to Hooker Aerochamber muffler.Beat me by1&1/2 to 2car lengths in the 1/8 mi.
Late '80 early '90s 5.0 mustang in the1/8mi.My nose was at the rear of his door when we crossed the line.
I think thats about it.My current mods are in my sig.

A few Saturns, an Intrepid, a Daewoo , but the most notable...

I beat a fox body Mustang 5.0 convertible in a 70-up race on the interstate, whooped his *** pretty badly actually.

Not a kill, but I kept up with a newer 4.6 GT, before the most recent changes. I think it was a '94. That was from a rolling punch at about 40.

An '80's model Monte Carlo SS, that was a good race. Probably not a kill, but the two of us had a blast racing. I didn't know the guy, but before his exit he pulled up along side me and he and his female passenger gave me a huge thumbs up, both smiling ear to ear. Dude looked like a total red neck, but with a great attitude like that he's cool with me.

My buddy's Honda Accord, both at the drag strip and in the curves. Dampers, springs, sway-bars, wheels and tires have all been replaced with performance parts. My car is stock, and I still stomped his *** in the twisties with shitty tires.

Nothing else that I can think of, I don't street race much and I don't take my car to the strip to drag race anymore. Drag racing is incredibly boring and too hard on the car, so I don't do it anymore. Gimme the curves and I'm happy.

Oh, I guess I'll post my losses too...

'93 Civic EX with i/h/e at the strip, cleaned his ******* clock in the curves. Friend of mine.

Newer Civic EX with same mods, another guy I destroyed in the curves. Friend of mine. I think it's a '99 model.

A twin turbo 300ZX that I met on the interstate on the way back from Atlanta after a party one Sunday morning. No, I didn't expect to win. I just wanted to watch him take off, and holy **** did he take off.


All of my friends are drag racers, and they all drive FF mostly Hondas and one has a turbo Neon R/T. None of them know how to drive, just launch it and run it through the gears.

-Older Isuzu Impulse by at least 3 car lengths.

-Ported Throttle Body
-Gutted Pre-CATS
-CATCO High Flow CAT
-ATF treatment. (not really a mod but....)
-180 Degree Thermostat.
-Removed A/C belt and pully.
-Removed Spare tire and jack.
-Removed any matrial from the engine bay that was not needed.
-Removed power antenna and replaced with lightweight rubber one.
-Removed all material from under the car and behind the grill that I deemed unnecessary including heat sheilds.

I have beaten/can beat A LOT of cars/trucks. I live in a city with about 17,000 people and the only thing that I have been beaten by is a twin turbo stealth, and a couple 5.0's. n/a rx-7's are the best sleeper cars there are.
