eclipse5302 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I'm starting a new section on my site...called "Can my car beat it?" I want a list of cars you guys want to know about (quarter mile times, stock). That way, if people want to know if they can beat a car at the track (because racing on the streets is a no-no) they can look on my site. Good idea? If you think so, give a large list of cars.

Redfox340 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Great idea! But consider the following: stock vs. modified? All types, makes, and engine sizes? Whoa! Good luck on the research... there's a ton of factors depeding on winning or losing a drag race including driver error and knowledge. Gonig just by numbers or members previous experience? - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse5302 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Maserati BiTurbo? And someone is going to see that car on the street? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTurbo Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Ok I like them. But I have seen more Maserati BiTurbo's then TGPs. And I live in Wyoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LS Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I saw a Bi turbo last summer on 81 down south aways. It was near a city and traffic was heavy but we would have had some fun otherwise. We had the LSS w/L67. Theres a couple upstate here but you never see them. I dont think they were that overly performance able. I believe there was reliablity problems. I'd have to say no on the Acura3.0 and the A6 the Aurora 4.0 maybe, the Aurora and Riviera and our LSS are big cars. I talked with a car dealer at an auction one day because I saw he had an Aurora. It was his wifes car of course . he said it was fast but not like the SC Riviera she had prior, for what thats worth. Those little 4cyl. small displacement cars might be do able. A friend of mine just got a WRX I wouldnt want to run him on the back roads not with the big Olds cruiser,TGP maybe , my Regal ? . 900 T Snob - better not have trouble with one of them , my 64 1724cc Alpine beat them. How about a 240/260/280 Z I bet their snappy. How about the Stealth or the 3000 GT ? I know which one? I bet that twin turbo smoked. I'll be interested in your findings.

Mike J. Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 I find it interesting to note cars which run almost exactly the same times in the 1/4 and 0-60. Such as these current makes : RSX type S, the New Thunderbird, Lexus IS300, Mitsi eclipse GT, Saab 9-3 SE, WRX sport wagon, Celica GTS, Golf GTI GLX, and I believe the Hyunda Tiburon v6 6-speed.
