gawd dang that thing is fugly.... if u lost I'd have to ban u
It's a punchline on rims but unfortunately they are fast. Good God it is ugly though, it looks like a winged suppository that glows. Where's the lineup to buy one?...pfffft. Good run OP!
I think it's BS. That thing would be making way more 298rwhp at that pressure. Something is seriously wrong if he is spiking 30psi.
The spike is meaningless. It's caused when the wastegate goes closed. It's what a turbo car holds thru the entire RPM range that matters. For instance if his can holds 20+PSI from 2000-6000RPMs he's got a pretty stout car. Only kids brag about what they spike. My car will hold 24PSI til 5800RPMs then it drops off to 20 by 6500RPM.That just means I shift at 6000 to stay in the cars power band. Nice win OP. I think your making more than 310HP.

That makes sense. His car holds 22psi and is definitely very fast.
Above 130 he will DEFINITELY beat me. But traffic and general road conditions limited us to 130
Is that what yall raced to, 130? Yeah you can tell at the end he was starting to slowly inch up. those little suckers are quick from a roll, i raced one from a 60 roll and it was pretty close but i got him by a car when we shut down at 120. Im sure you'll murder him from a dig though, if not you have a 14 second car lol

Yeah, it was a 40-128(my limiter in 4th). He was definitely creeping up top, if we went over 130 I would be DONE. My car falls on its face when I shift into 5th at 128
From a dig... He is done

We are trying, he posted a thread in our forum asking how to "sexify" his car

tell him to get some side window louvers for that fast back look
nice race.. glad you didn't let the ricer beat you.. I guess some people just dont know better.. they grew up watching F&F..(concerning neons/wings, nothing against turbo 4cyl)
