Si vs. TSi

ok,

this go that lives by me wants to race me.....its for 20 bucks(not to much but still) and we will be racing at the track. i have a 89' Si slightly gutted... B16 with intake, header, high flow cat, and 2 1\4 piping. and he has a stock awd turbo talon running like 10 lbs of boost or something. what do you guys think my chances are? i am a farely good driver( i like to think so at least). thanks!

Dane
ps. the point of this post is just to save me 20 dollars or gain me 20 dollars so i can buy lunch everyday this week

Re:Si vs. TSi

If you guys race a full 1/4 mile, and that is all he has done, you might be able to catch him.. It also depends on how nice he is to his car.. Some guys just launch like a madman in dsms, and drop the clutch at 6 grand

if he does that... you might not have a chance..

Re:Si vs. TSi

i say hes got ya. its all about the start.
its like racing 2 cars with similar hp, and one with slicks.
and i doubt its 10psi, but if that is what he's running then hes probably got more hp than you too.

Money says he is running over 15psi, pop the hood and check the wastegate vacuum lines.

Come on tyler get with the program. I still think that the AWD DSM will take that crx. If the other dude just drops the clutch anywhere above 4000 rpm, then he will win. The turbo will already be spooling and the car will be gone.
