Default So who can I race, and win against?

Running 93performance tune, stock except for GT-Takeoff muffler.
06 v6.

The rule I generally have with street racing,
don't race anything with dual exhaust. Since it would obviously have more power than me, right?

Oh,
and stay away from Subarus.



But who can I actually beat?
Ex Civics?

I was told a tuned/CAI'd v6 can hold up to a pre-05 GT from a dig. (Until the higher rpms obviously).

I beat the little civics all the time and all I have is dual exhaust. I believe we can beat SI's also. Then most of the little rice buckets dont stand much of a chance. But after that, we get our asses kicked

This might end up getting moved also.

Edit: those 20's probably dont help you out racing wise with the extra weight

Yeah, so I've heard, I've been trying to sell them and pick up some GT500's, but to no avail. They weight about 38lbs each?

Ya, not too sure how much the pony package wheels on mine weigh. Also, do you DD with the race tune? How is it? Heard mixed reviews about it being used as you DD tune.

ya you should be able to take a stock SI too. pretty much any 4 cyclinder non FI car is yours for the taking assuming they are stock.

the nicer v6 sedans and coupes will give you a run for your money though.

I tried using it for DD,
honestly, I love it but it can be a tad much at times. Always spinning my tire at lights, accelerating a bit too fast. Not to mention it kills the gas mileage.

I stopped running it simply because it's just too much acceleration for daily use.

edit,

how about mitsu's?
Would a stock eclipse GT whoop me?

Ya, stay away from those Infiniti G35 sedans and coupes lol. They are pretty nice cars.

And thats what I figured with the race tune. Guess I will DD the performance when I get and use the race when I wanna do some spirited driving lol

u never kno. with the stock parts on ur car u wont beat a lot of cars. civics for sure unless if they hav lik some crazy illegal engines.

if u drive an automatic, ur gonna hav a very low chance of winning.

definitely get the CAI and the tune. u'll definitely feel it.

u could probably take on a hyundai genesis.

i also killed 3 2011 camaro RS (Really Slow).

all in all just u really dunno. make sure theres no cops around lol

Depends which version, the non turbo one we will win but the turbo version makes 260 hp. Not sure how close the race will be. Never raced the turbo version.

Something I have noticed with the Race on my sixxer, (not sure if yours is a 5 speed?).
But my auto redlines in 4th gear (I'm assuming the auto's only have 4 gears? I'm cartarded..) between 80-95 WOT, I'm too scared to push it past that..

Although on the performance, it makes it to around 100 before redline (WOT).
if I'm accelerating slower I can stay in lower RPMs all the way up to 120.
