200sx can i beat one?

[vanbibber]

i need to know if i can take this guy i work with. he has a 200sx with a pipe and a dumb looking hood. its a stick. i dont know anything about them and have rarely even seen them. help me before i race him, cause i dont wanna wind getting embarassed and having to listen to him all day at work.

You can OWN that 200SX. That thing only has a 2.0 liter 4 cyclinder. The only way he could win is if you fall asleep at the starting line.

3.4 will own that car, 3.8 will destroy it.

If you have a 3.8 you will only lose if you fall asleep at the line like he said.

dude, it only makes 115 hp. One of my friends used to have a 5-speed and every day after work would try and take me. I'd just sort of half throttle past him, and he sort of scratch his forehead with his middle finger as I waved and passed him

What yr is it??? Some of the mid 80's had turboson them. .

[skorpion317]

you'll waste it.

Yall have no idea how much im cracking up right now. My freind has a 200SX. One of the old ones that were RWD. I can destroy that thing. Not even a problem. Its hilarious. Thing I dont understand though, is that sometimes it will scratch 4th gear. Unbeleivable.

[firebird4u99]

Scratching in 4th? I've never herd of that happening before but hey more power to him. Too bad he will get smoked like a joint.

Um. my mr2 is 2.0 4cyclinder and it runs 13's in the quarter and I don't have many upgrades at all on it. Find out if it's turbo charged, or if he has done a swap. Alot of us firebird owners are like " I've got a bigger engine than that guy, my car must be faster" Which isn't always true. Driving around my mr2 my favorite cars to race were the mustangs, firebirds, and camaro's. The only domestic thing to beat me was a couple vette's and this one Z28 but he was highly modded. Stock z I didn't even have a problem with.
Just don't underestimate your opponent

The way the rice market is nowadays all turds can be made fast. Everytime you race you risk losing. MOst of the time confident people have heavy mods. Ive learned this the hard way a few times.

[vanbibber]

well thats why im asking you guys what you know because i dont know about them.. ive learned the hard way alot thats why im doing my homework first
:D

Just asking him what he has modded. And remember as best you can till you can come back and post.

You've got a decent amount of mods. Just go for it, just don't bet your weeks pay or anything.
