I beat an RSX type S in my NPI Stang.

dude dont be that discouraged, i have found out that those rsx type s's are real quick and respond well to mods, wit just a header and a cold air they are just about as fast as a 96-98 cobra. yea i kno so dont feel bad.

Don't feel sorry that you got a 2 valve, S/C that sucker, do the intake and exhaust and a couple other boltons, and you'll have a low 12 second car.
That's what I did, and I'm very happy.

I've beeten one 2/3 races. He had an intake, and i have a catback and intake...not that it makes a difference. Its a driver race. Maybe the stang was auto?

yeah my 98 gt was pretty slow with just an exhaust, but i did race a RSX once from a dead stop and we were pretty dead even until we had to slow for next set of lights.
i have spent probably around 4000 on parts and am at 270rwhp w/ 300lbs of torque, if i had been a little smarter i would have gotten 99+ gt and would be at 300+.

The 96-98 GTs are only 215 or 225 HP ('98), the 260 HP that the '99 to '04s have is better--but it's still not a whole lot for a 3250 lb car. Don't get me wrong, I like my '03 GT and with the intake, exhaust, '93 octane tuning, and 3.73 gears it's a pretty fast car when driven well--in fact it's almost as fast as my 10 psi supercharged 1.6L '92 Miata.[/align][/align]An other issue is that, and as Bob Hall generally considered to be the father of the Miata said: [/align]

ut you have a pi swap, technicaly, you would have a very slight amount more hp then a 99+ because of the compression bump

I knew a guy with an RSX with intake and exhaust that would probably be a drivers race against an edge stang...That is untill he pulled water through his CAI and ruined his motor.

SN95's may be slow, but put 500 into by doing a PI swap, and its keeping up. Not too bad at all if that is the route one wants to go.

I never ran 15's even when my car was stock. I hit high 14's but never 15's
