So yesterday I was following my gf home from the bank and we pull up at a red light next to eachother. She has an 04 pontiac sunfire which is actually pretty quiclk...but not as quick as my 7...or so I thought. So the light turns green and I get the jump on her since her car's an auto and we go flying down the street. Well one i hit third gear it was like neck and neck all the way till her car governed out at 120 lol...I thought my car was faster then it is. Granted it's an 86 n/a with 150k miles but comeon, a sports car vs some 4 cylinder GM garbage. I guess the moral of the story is I NEED A TURBO!!!!

 

naaa with your NA and transmission you are putting maybe ... if your lucky 98 HP to the ground. Are your 5/6 ports working? You dont need a turbo, you need to get a 5 speed and a rebuild.

"The Ecotec I-4 generates 140 horsepower (104 kw) at 5600 rpm and 150 lb.-ft. (203 Nm) of torque at 4400 rpm."

I am not in any way surprised she can keep up with you.

But lets wait for ReTeds opinion.

 

Shame on you doing this **** on city streets!
I hope you two kill each other before you kill any innocent bystanders...

and there it is ! haha



This owned you btw

 

Hahaha.

My car is a 5 speed currently...how much do rebuilds usually cost???

 

opppsss I read that wrong I thought you had the automatic ... wow even more sad.. hehe You got beat by and auto sunfire hehe sad very sad... Make sure your 5/6th ports are working, and good rebuilds done yourself are around 1500 for a minimal rebuild done by a pro is 2300 ish

dont turbo that high milage engine it WILL blow something trust me I have had 2 of them so far.

 

jeez for 2k i can just buy a new engine...whats the point of rebuilding then?

 

Not very surprising.

An N/A car isn't very fast. ****, I drove an RX-8 yesterday that could've had its *** handed to it by a Honda Odessey full of fat co-workers down a straight stretch.

There's nothing exceptionally quick about a stock or very close to stock N/A RX-7.

They're not slow on the other hand, and they're very fun cars to track - but they don't have the torque to really get up and gone.

 

they dont make new engines any more. Doing a good rebuild is basically giving you a new engine. (if you get new housings and apex and everything) Also you can port it and do what ever mods you wish. Don't rebuild I Don't care... haha just don't be confused when a cavalier kicks your butt.

 

did someone say street-port?

 

so let me get this straight

you raced someone in there quick sunfire :lawlz:
you sped down a street at 120mph
you got pwned

irresponisbly stupid if you ask me ... meh

 

It was quick for my slow *** 7 haha.
and I got pwned in the sense that she could keep up with me...
keep your little panties on ladies, it's not like it was down a main street.

 

I don't know why anyone would want someone to die....

 

I had a foot race with my girlfriend in the 7-11 parking lot. We lined up by the gas pump. I got the jump on her (manpower>girlpower) and pulled about 6 or 7 steps on her. By the time we got to the door I hit about 15mph (governed).

 

dude is that AaronCake in your avatar?

 

That's about how fast i felt i was going with my old *** engine...

 

I hate these ******* threads. Admin please erase.

KEEP IT OFF THE DAMN STREETS YOU DUMB *****!

 

er murray should calm down a little with the language

 

I know I know...driving is a privelidge not a right. Please don't arrest me officer Murray I swear i'll never do it again.

 

yup. lol
i even PM'd tweakgames to ask him too before. lol
aaroncake and his awesome mullet.

 

mmaayybbeee haha only true rotor heads notice this.

 

LMFAO, i was thinking that for awhile now till you asked it. I bet it is, he is a very creative, intelligent guy.

 

Im raising the flag for two reasons:
1) My girlfriend's old 1999 sunfire was governed at 108mph, as were any other speed governed chevrolets that year. Maybe the newer ones have a higher limit, but even so......
2) Any road with a stoplight can't have a speed limit of more than 55mph. You expect me to believe that a girl (no offense ladies, keep reading) alone in her car raced down the road next to you traveling AT LEAST 65 mhp over the speed limit??? I don't know any women that are that stupid.

The only thing I do belive that a slow *** NA RX-7 will lose to almost any vehicle 18 years newer than it.

 

There's two kinds of girl drivers...ones that are afraid of driving and go 10miles below the speed limit, and then there's the ones that don't give a crap and drive like maniacs...im usually the one that tells her to slow down lol. I just got the damn car and i wanted to see what it could do. It's not like I think im in the fast and the furious.

 

This thread is awesome!! I just wanted to post here so I could be part of it.
