You weigh a sh*tLOAD more than him.



I weigh barely over 1 ton and put as much poop to the tarmack in my Saturn as a V6 should. Think about that.

I have to agree with stanqlover, I destroy those things on a daily basis, and that is with my son, daughter,and wife in the car!!!<img border="0" src= smileys/smiley2.gif> But not to worry there are plenty of speed parts for the sixers, I seen one in MM&FF in the low 13's high 12's.<img border="0" src= smileys/smiley4.gif>

i suggest different gears they help alot when you got a smaller engine it has a problem pushing 2.73s so go with at least 3.73 with a sixer

I would suggest nitrous and weight loss (for the car and driver. Let's face it, no point in taking out 150 pounds of crap if you weigh in at 300)

OK, b-ing an import fan as well, I know a thing or 2 'bout 'em. What the bonus is is that they have the power to weight ratio down for them. If you have 200hp in a Civic (my friends) and you only weigh 2000 some pounds, you'll pull. Now, owning an 02 V6 I know they're heavy as sh*t. If you have 200 hp in a 2000 pound car verses the same hp in a 3000 some pound car, he has you beat, I don't care how bad you wanna fight it, the Civic will pull (Civic and Integra is the same car, only Acura). Also, those things have real good hole shot speed I've noticed. Lighten up the car, drop some money on speed parts, you'll show 'em who's boss. Hope that helps.

If it was an LS or a GS you would own it in your V6. If it was a GS-R then it has 200 ponies and is pretty darn quick for a 1.8L engine. Evenly matched I'd say. The V6 Mustang isn't slow but it could be geared better I think. The type-R (also (1.8L) is DAMN quick because it is so light. and it comes with factory mods) They usually have funky spoilers (assuming it was rolling and you can't see the rims) and they are a dumb color like Yellow. They screw. A GT will take them but it would be a good race. Off the line, the GT has it, on the highway the type R will play. Never saw "that" race so can't say who would win.



Good luck with your car.
