Hey guys, my friend with X type jag(3.0L, 4 wheel drive, 227 Hp) wants to race me for some money to make it more interesting since I always talk how my car(bone stock) is fast and everything......So what do you think?

 

You should win. Unless I see track slips I don't give a crap who wins.

 

I think this thread is

 

he must need some cash to pay for his Jag or something. I should do that, I should buy a new ZO6 and when someone asks me how I can afford it I'll be like "wanna race for some money *****?" Basically a free car right?

 

I work at a Jag dealer and drive those lemons all day. You should be able to take him easy if you are a good driver.

 

I GOT HIM!!!!!!!!1st race was no win from anybody, but the second race was MINE!!! I love my maxima and always have! Thanks for the replies guys!

 

Did you race a guy names Bobrik?

 

4WD Jag? Never seen a 4WD Jag before.

 

No, at least not yet... Should I have been?

 

Street racing is wrong and you're a douche for street racing. Like I said, no slip no care and you should be banned for starting a street racing thread.

 

It wasn't on the street street, but at the left alone area if you understand what I mean-old airport, been left alone

 

your car is bone stock thats good for beating a car thats like that.

 

A car that's like that? do you mean? His car is "like that" too .. both 3.0L... Oh yeah, the Jag is AWD .. better launch at the cost of obesity. Not a big deal, and they should've done it at a track to get timeslips .. they're informative of a lot information, but most people that post in here lately are doing it on the street ..

 

you need to relax he said the car has 227hp, he has 190hp so he did good.

 

and your right he should be on the track.

 

Point being ....

So if a car has more hp than mine, I automatically cannot beat it?

Not likely, there's much more to it than that.

And thanks for pointing out I'm #1,

 

lol your crazy thats not what i said. and yes i know about the h/w

 

It's not Then what did you say?

Homework sucks IMO ...

 

do you know what the numbers on that car is

 

NumberS = plural = so you mean ARE, not IS.


From what he stated 227hp ... I can beat a stock 01 AE Max, 227 .. in my 4g .. so is that a big deal?

 

can you beat a acura legend?

 

What does that have to do with our discussion?

And I'm not going to post a kill list here ..

 

your the one talking about what you can beat in your 4th gen.

 

True, and I should've thought before I posted but i didn't. Your point, or so I thought unless you explain to me otherwise, was X car rated at a higher HP than Y car automatically should win, and the other lower rated car should lose, and if not it is praised ... it's not uncommon for lower hp rated cars to have better optimized gear ratios coupled with lighter weight and a better power band.

 

the jaguar x-type is not a bad car. it has 227hp @6800 rpm and 206tq @3000 and the car is about 3400lds so that race is no blowout!!!

 

I never said it was ...

My point again, area under the curve is greater than peak #'s, and being lighter with better gear ratios is the icing on the cake.

3400lbs is a pretty hefty # ... Especially for am AWD 3.0 w/ 206 ft/lbs

 

for a car that heavy ist quick 0-60mph 6.6 what do you have to say.

 

Magazine racing is . And so is 0-60 .. I like 0-100mph, or a time from 0-1320'. Does that mean the automatic Maxima does 0-60 in 6.6, maybe faster since he "won"..

 

wow!! you are special. con/over!!!!!!!!!!1

 

5 SPEED and why make such a big deal of it?Yes, I have posted, just thought like I wanted to..

 

Not a big deal, Iw as bored last night then got tired and then went to bed, I had notyhing better to do than to prove an age old point ... I forgot you were 5 speed ... Anyway, <-- it's now out of my system.

 

Nice win over the jag, but dont the jags use ford engine parts for their cars? i think you deserve much more respect for the vehicle you drive! so pick a real car to race that would give a max a hard time to beat! it looks much better when ur the underdog and beat a car that is supposed to be faster than the max! try taking out some mustang gt's for starters, you'll feel much more confident after that. racing that jag is almost similar to racing a ford taurus w the exception of awd! plus awd cars weigh more anyway! good luck!

 

Yes, I know they use ford's parts, and this thread has been done not to bribe or something, just wanted to get some opinions and thanks for the good luck wish

 

BOBRIK IS A RUSSIAN NAME FOR SURE LOL
