hey guys do u think it is gonna be a easy race for me against a Vw rabbit?? i have a 1990 max se 5spd with no mods, and he has a 1989 or 1990 rabbit gti 5spd with a short shifter, air filter, and oil cooler?? am i gonna win against him. cause he wants me to race him on the track? thanks

 

hmm, do you know how much hp he got. those things are lighter. just go for it

 

no problem

 

and what about a 1992 prelude normal version, auto. u think i can take that??

 

I use to own a 91 Prelude and it was pretty quick. I'm pretty sure you wont beat that prelude.

A stock auto 92 prelude can run under 15 seconds? Wow that's pretty quick, I didn't think they were that fast

Both of those cars are prone to heavy modding .. If they've done his homework and spent afew grand on the car, he'll beat you. If not, you'll win easy.

 

a 5 speed 3rd gen wont get that close either.

 

Well said!

they quit making rabbits in 84 and you gotta watch out they can get pretty crazy if you dont know exactly whats under the hood I had a cabriolet with a turbo pushing 8 pounds of bost and a 150 shot of NOS and it would walk my 99 maxima bad. with just the turbo it beat my max in the 1/4 mile by 1/2 a second and that was with a bad piston ring.

 

Not really. The 3-gen VE powered maximas have done right around 15.0 near stock and have run mid 14's w/ just the basic bolt ons. The VG powered 3-gens have a much harder time.

 

Get that wascally wabbit!

 

anywho...
i used to own a 91 SI and they run anywhere from 16.0 to 17's depending on mods and tranny's so a stock VG 5sped would have a close battle against one...

 

I had a 92 Prelude those have 160HP they are pretty quick in five speed. I dont know about auto you should be able to take it.

 

the 93 Ludes are pretty fast...I raced my frineds a year back at the track and he shot off and never turned back...ran a 15.1 I think bone stock, pretty damn good! shockled the hell outta me till I found it had ~190hp!
