Yeah i say just race him and fuck it. Better to lose than to not race at all. I dont mind losing. If you lose, your car probably cost a lot less and is a lot older anyway. lol.

hey ok lol watever that guy said about winning by 2 1/2 car lengths..LOL. is he joking? i have my 88 turbo. stock. short shifter only. my buddy has a 3000gt some mods. all bolt on..nothing huge. and yes its stick. and i put him to shame everytime we race. straightaways turns wherever. ive raced him to 130..smoked him..badly. trust me man even with the n/a ull have this. and if there are even any slight bends in the road..better for u. those things are slugs around the turns.. and they catch wind like its there job. u will deffinatly have this race. i say put 60$ down. ill mail u the extra 30 if u lose.

I beat one. Easily. I'm N/A. He was about 5-6 carlengths behind me at the end. I was only running off of 5 cylinders at the time. You should get him.

This is y i was running off of 5 cylinders

i have never been in a auto supra
but here's my best bet

does the autos have numbers under the D in the shifter,
drop it down to the lowest gear
thats the best way you can launch your car

our cars hav a good launch off the line but the problem is keeping the pace
it does tend to lag during higher speeds especially the n/a

and keep a positive mind
if you keep thnking your gonna lose
you already lost to yourself b4 u even start the car

well.. i saw an auto 3000GT.. with Borla exhaust, K&N Intake, and a racing underdrive pully.. it ran a 16.7 in the 1/4 mile.. or there was another auto 3000gt that had exhaust, intake, underdrive pully.. and also a 55 dry shot of nos, that ran a 15.8? there not that fast.. so obviously that extra 22hp doesnt do much?

Frostburn, Theres a big difference between specs and which car is actually faster. So unless you have raced either car against the other, i would say dont discourage him. Sure, specs help, But there is a lot of variables that you could never calculate on paper. One advantage youll have is the auto launch, and he is front wheel drive. Thats an inate traction advantage right there. Aside from many other things
