nice kill man

 

no if it was a TSI that is te AWD one so 9 buses i have to call BS too. Maybe you a exaggerated just a little.

 

My memory is failing me, but the TSI is AWD and either the (can't remember exactly) TEI or TSE is FWD.

 

tsi's came as both awd and fwd.

 

Sorry to bring back a dead post, but I need to defend my self apparently.

From what he told me it was a 1997 Eagle Talon TSi. Stock turbo and only performance mods was his catback. He didn't give any excuses about a bad launch, but maybe he didn't tell me. I will talk to him again and maybe film a second run since some people can't accept a fact.

 

Some ppl are just cynics...like I said..NICE KILL!!

 

because most people dont beat other cars by 9 bus lenghts espically a turboed talon in an sn95 gt with exhaust n gears....But then again good kill if you beat him

 

Ugh..I just realized I put 9 bus lengths. IT WASN'T 9 BUS LENGTHS. I like to exagerate.
It was atleast 3 lengths. I will video tape it Monday Night. Check back then!

 

TSI's were AWD turbo, ESI's came in a FWD turbo and a FWD non-turbo (only on certain years). A 97 Talon TSI with an auto is crap, my buddy had one and lost to a 92 miata. A 97 Talon TSI with a 5-speed is capable of low low 15s with a good driver. My guess would be that you are running very similiar times. I would say either A) He is an auto, or B) He is an ESI with FWD. Get it on tape, I'm not calling BS, but those things can launch like a MotherFker. How high was he launching? Was he really revving it up there before he dropped the clutch? If not its either an auto or he's an idiot.

 

I KNOW it is a manual. Maybe it is an ESI Turboed then. Im pretty sure he told me it was a TSi though.
