maxima vs. probe gt (3-0)
so me and a friend are driving out of our apartment to take care of some business, when i ran across this probe gt (one of the newer ones). so i pull beside him and we both floor it. wasnt much of a race, since he could not keep up at all, by 85-90 mph i had more than 3 car lengths on him. so i let go of the gas, and he comes flying by me again! so once again i floor it, and it was over again. then i got a chance to line up against the guy at the next light. took him right off the line this time, no chance for him again. i heard his wheels spinning in 1st, but by the time he caught traction i was gone 
the guy seemed ****ed at his car cos we saw him beat the **** of his steering wheel in anger! a nice 3-0 win when it was least expected

So somewhere your statement does not make sense.

Alot of people don't realise that it's actually only got the ford body, but the engine is that of the MX-6 it's got a sweet stroke of 2.92. makes a nice sound.
you can find out more about this engine by visiting this site:

Actually, the Probe GT horsepower is 164hp Same engine as the Mazda MX6 and V6 626.
0-60 on those cars is 7.6 seconds. I raced one recently and it was an easy kill. Unless modded, not even worth the effort.

I plan on working on the tranny next... i'm just in the process of making up my mind whether to do a 5spd conversion or the automagic way. as of now, i'm leaning towards the automagic way...
