Default Beaten by a 240sx

One of my friends has a 89 hatch 240sx with a sr20det swap and no matter how we race i still lose. Should i be losing? I only have minor mods bbk pullies, mac intake and 4.10 gears.

96 GT has a significant power to weight disadvantageagainst the 240SX. Even my 00 V6 manual mustang will beat an Autostock 94-98 Mustang GT. I can hang with the manual version of those years and I havezero mods except for CAI and true dual exhaust.

You auto or manual?

With those two, i see why your losing. You need to get a pi swap ASAP or beef that suspension with some good DRs. He's got an rpm and weight advantage over you and you've got gears, if your trying to win it should be from a dig.

Those 240's are quick with the sr20det's in them, I got raped by one about a week ago.0-60 he was ahead by 2 cars. But it all depends on how much boost they are running.Do a PI swap then blow it. Then he will be wishing he had a mustang.

Shouldn't put 94-95 96-97 98 all in the same category. At my track the 98's seems to do better than the previous years. What kind of times does a 00 v6 manual run?? I'm still having trouble believing that statement. But I've been wrong before.

+1 if that guy is beating gt's, he is running into some real lousy drivers, or cars that are ready for the graveyard. glad you called bs on that.
