Meth kit+current setup=definite win. I think it will still be a win without the meth kit. My friend races 300fwhp SRT4's practically every weekend and rapes them with 345rwhp and 460lbs tq on the 125 shot. He keeps pace with a 380fwhp turbo'd RSX-S so i dont think that you should have a real problem. Now if he sprays...it all depends on how much he's spraying. If you race from a dig, you will spank him because chances are that he will spin like a b!tch because he is fwd and when the N2O hits, he is gonna spin even more. And still...a roll race is more along the lines of a 5mph roll...not a 40mph roll. Then there isnt any driving really except for the shifts.

Not with a good tune, LSJ's are extremely strong/capable little 4 cylinders.
I think off the meth a roll race will be pretty competitive but I'd give the edge to you.
OP, start this thread in the S/S section, alot of really knowledgeable members there, who would be very interested in this topic. Also, get a vid of the runs.

This guy must of lied to you. You would get owned by a 400whp Skittle. They weight atleast 600lbs less then you. Did it have a turbo swap? I'm pretty sure that stage 3 cars are only capable of 370whp. I'm assuming you ran a dig to lower speeds and he ***'d up his launch?
I would have thought this race would be alot closer..........
What are your mods? Spray?

um no we raced from a 40 roll as well he didnt hit his shifts like me but i still had him by a half a car. the str 4 had a 50 trim turbo on it as well. My car seems to run with cars it shouldnt on the street for some reason not sure why. I raced my buddy with a 03 cobra with 470rhwp and he didnt pull me untill 55 mph and he only had a car and 1/2 on me untill 113 mph.

i call BS on this whole thread... 400fwhp neon would rape you, that 380fwhp rsx would rape the other person in this thread who says they beat it, and that cobra would own you too
if he posted this in S&S they would eat his *** alive...thats why its here instead
go to S&S and post about beating a 400fwhp neon from a roll and see what happens...you will be laughed off the board...same for the guy who thinks he beat that rsx...my guess is that the owner of those cars lied about what the car is making...if you beat that neon, it didnt have 400fwhp....my buddys neon srt4 with just exhaust and a tune is running in the high 12s, and from a roll its pretty nasty as well...double the HP and theres no way you would beat it with the power youre making
just because you make similar hp doesnt mean you run the same
my truck makes 340/365 at the wheels and runs a 15.0 @ 90mph... because its a heavy pig
your car makes 20hp less than that neon and weights a lot more...hp:weight says youre making it up, especially from a roll...if you said dig race, it would be believable...unless the neon missed a shift from a roll, and then i could see you beating it
let alone the 6 speed cobra with 90 more hp than you

I just remembered a race with an ION. Back when all I had was 260rw with the PI engine and 2.73's. It was dead even on take off then I nosed a car length ahead of him from the 1/8th. My skills have nothing to do with it, Just the power of my car vs. his.
