Tonight I'm driving home and a riced out Cavalier is weaving behind me and then flies by me. It had dual exhaust and sounded ricey as hell, and I'm sure it was more modded than just exhaust, plus he had a 5-speed. I'm an auto with intake and y-pipe if you couldn't tell from my sig. Anyways, I pull up next to him at a light, and his girl looks and me and smiled knowing that we were going to race. The guy looked pretty cocky too. Light hits green and I spun my tires (as always) and he jumped out by 1/2 a car. then as it continued, I started walking. By 85, I had a car, maybe even a car and a half on him, so I quit. He kept going and going, probably because he was so ****ed that he lost to a 4-door family sedan. But I really need to work on not flooring it when I launch!!

 

hows the intake and y pipe treatin ur automagic? im in tha process of gettin both.....oh yeah nice kill

 

Congrats?

 

how long have u had the y on?

 

I've had my Y-pipe for about 6 months now and combined with the intake, its great. Only problem is that I've got really crappy low-end power but sweet high-end. That's why I prefer highway racing to from-a-stop racing, but hey I take what I can get.

 

nice kill i have same setup but im getting frankencar upper

 

the guy u raced must be modded, I ran a stock sunfire GT from 10-50mph it was a tie then i walked away pretty quickly & kept walking. I think tahts when they shift into third.

 

Is the noise bareable or do you have stock muffler, cause I hear the Y makes a dramatic difference in tone?

 

Lucky he didnt have NOS cause I got taken but the same type of car and what not but he was spraying! LOL, but I do only have a CAI so that coulda been another reason

 

Congrats, good kill!!

Yeah I have a stock muffler, so the noise from the Y-pipe is barely noticable. But I did do a custom upper intake piece which took the resonator off, so my intake is the only thing you can hear anyways. It's LOUD! I scare women and children on the road with it.

 

thanx, but that's mean, hehe

 

only killed him by a car length? - thas odd, i would have it would be more

 

In maryland there seems to be a clan of modded cavs. I see em everywhere. I never thought they were fast though. Hmmm.

 

reading from your sig, you have a hybrid intake setup. I thought that kind of setup would give you both high end and low end power.

 

Yeah I do have a slow AUTO not a 5-speed like I dream of. So he had that advantage on me. Plus I had a crappy launch, whereas his was good.

And the hybrid intake doesn't yield as much low-end power as some people claim, unfortunately.

 

if u had an i30 you wouldnt have to worry about all that tire spin at the start

 

Limited Slip Differential?

 

yup
