Racin question

There is a kid in my town that has a civic with a turbo and I was wondering if i would be able to beat with turbo II rx-7. Theres also a kid with a 88 corvette and I want him to race for title is there any possiblity of me beating him with some mods? If so can you tell me what mods I would need.

Its a tough call without more info. My 87 T2 smoked a 92 Vert Vette! Well ok, not smoked bad, but I pulled on him & slowly passed him...What mods do u have? Find more about them too, always know what your up against...I dont race if I don't know I will win!

Depending on how much boost that civic is producing, I doubt he'll be a threat(he'd need at LEAST 10+lbs)...as for the vette...they are slow in the top end..at least the 80s vettes were...I think as long as you have some good exhaust/intake you should be ok with them both. But do as the others said, find out more...because when your racing for titles, your racing for keeps man..be careful!

I don't have any mods as of yet but i am going to get a downpipe exhaust and a intake and maybe a blow off valve as for the vette it is stock and the civic has only whatever the boost level is from that kit. Thanks for the help though guys

if you get all that stuff you should do something about your fuel system otherwise you will lean out

im definately not going to racing him until i get some mods. Do you guys think i should have a rolling start to sort of help me because of his enormous torque output?
