Default Predictions, Me vs Del Sol

I met some dude who has a Honda Del Sol that he's put a reasonable amount of work into. Here are the specs as best that I know...

~2500lbs
B18 VTEC
190whp on motor
100shot of nitrous

I'm just curious how I'd run against him. Discuss...

Well, if he's making roughly 290 with the 100 shot, and you're hoping for 300-310 with your car, I think you'll get beat pretty bad. He has a huge weight advantage.

Lol, so true.

OP, you've got your hands full man. He's got close to your power and is nearly 1k lbs lighter.

You walked a stock Del Sol. Wait til you run into one with a swapped engine and bolts on or a cam.

Or even an Si or Del Sol VTEC. The Si has the D16Z6 SOHC 1.6 and the Del Sol VTEC has the B16A(2?). Both would put a whoopin' on a Cougar with a 3.8. Even on a Cougar with a 5.0 or 4.6.
