Yep. I was beat by my own TII in my own R1.

R1 had Efini y-pipe, DP and RB cat-back. Turned a best 1/4 time of 13.58@102.8mph. Running about 10psi boost.

TII had full exhaust, cone filter and fuel cut defenser. It also was a little lighter than stock, at the time of the "race" it weighed in at about 2600-2650lbs. It has turned a best of 13.425@105.5mph. Running about 9psi boost.

From a ~4mph roll with my friend driving the R1 the TII pulled ahead by about 1 car length to 100mph. After the TII hit about 100mph the R1 just pulled away.

The R1 now has a M2 IC and a intake, the TII won't be able to hang again.

The R1 absolutely smoked the TII in any type of autocross competition.

Thanks for the reply's guys. The closet i've got to beating a 3rd gen was holding with it about half a car behind him. He had a street ported motor, and exhaust. But i have never beat one out right...

I don't think you'll find many here that will ADMIT to being beat!! Eveyone is a race god here!! No one EVER loses!! Ahhhh.... if only life were really that good!!! I got beat by a fully built gutted hatchback on slicks the whole deal!! BUT I have not been beat by a T2. Haven't seen one to race out here yet. Just cause you have more power doesn't mean you'll win. Got to get it to the ground to be effective.

Ok, here is the deal. A fully modded T2 can beat a stock third gen. Otherwise no way.

I got beat on the 1/4 by a TII. But it definately wasn't a stock turbo'd one...

I ran a 12.4 @ 117 and he was lifting running high 11's.

Can't remember what he ran the second time, but the ****** was faaaaaaaaast.
