Quote: i remember you now!! didn't you win the bracket races at sembach? did you have a baby seat in the car? hahaha...exactly what type of race are you talking about? do you realize my car makes 200hp stock? and weighs 2800lbs.? I know a corolla is lighter, but your weight advantage won't make up for the power difference between the two. I would run you on a road course too....the run from wherever you were talking about would be pointless, I drive my car 3 hours twice weekely at 150kmh average, it's been very reliable so far  yes that is me.
so if you consider the corolla makes 74 hp (1100 kg)
and your car makes 200 hp (1270 kg),
so what is the top speed of your car?
comparing to 126 hp more, yours is not that much faster.
so compare the money we both paid for the car...
Silly calculation, isn't it?
But I read the same before here in this thread comparing nissan and whatwasit? don't matter.
On a long distance autobahn-race as suggested I believe I still beat you:
on gasstations, on police taking you in, or passing you upside down in the ditch.
A short one I won't do because I want to be able to slow down when necessary and keep my driving license and not endangering other people...
BTW: I always drive 150kmh average on the autobahn when possible, 1,5 hours minimum each day, more than 450000 km on the Corolla. Drove this car on Dragraces, on the Nürburgring, in the AutoX Course and on Ralleys.
But I also have other cars: 79 and 84 Camaro, 76 Aspen RT (set up for autobahn top-end hehe) and some rice if you prefer them: Mazda Pickup Truck, Subaru Stationwagon or 84 Suzuki Samurai. Well the old Jeep would be kind of slow...
BTW: there is a stock Corolla available with only 192hp... will put that engine in mine next year J/K

I had an idea that every member should go through this thread and delete their every one of their own posts. This will leave a thread composed only of R4C's contributions and make it appear that he is preaching to himself....which of course, he is. Meantime, I'm off to look at a 200SX and get rid of my Zed as I read somewhere that it was a big load of crap, that Camaro drivers are mulletheads with their heads up their own ass who think they are invincible. I certainly don't want to be a person like that when I can buy a 200SX and be really cool and stylish and the envy of Porsche drivers everywhere. See you at the 200SX Owners Club meeting.

Guess you may want to make sure you have the sway bar in and not out before that run ...

ahhhh yuuuuup. It gets scary to say the least. If something comes loose or a tire fails death could result no good. I would rather get to 100 quick.

Quote: To us, pulling means not struggling!  R4C, do you have N2O? I saw in a post earlier about how you talked with a lady at NX. Do you? OK, WELL...LS-1's don't pull hard compared to my stage III+ 300zxtt (that's what I was racing with)...does that make you feel better? No, I don't need n2o, I was just talking shyt then...so, no, i don't spray (not yet

Quote: :-wtf: are you trying to prove? Everytime we bust you on one of your points you change the subject! My car will beat yours, "yeah but my parts were cheaper"?? "Your cars need at least 400hp to pull above 120mph or reach 184mph, I only need 18psi!":roll:??? Keep your 200 at home because that would be a waste of gas for someone to race you on the bahn. Now the real question, do you even have a 300Z or did you steal that pic off of the internet to start some big mess on this site. You are beyond the chance of making friends on this board so why don't you just quit TALKING and do something to shut us up, otherwise this is just getting old! You make no sense. My .02cents.... I'm arguing the original point...maybe yall should go back and read it! I make plenty of sense, why do you keep asking me the same silly questions over and over? YES!! I own a 1990 300zx twinturbo...why didn't you call the shop I gave you the number to and ask them, they're in Georgia, my car is there now....you'll find out if I'm full of bs when I come to SC. You should do some research to find out what a 200sx is, it's not the 200sx that you know in the states....my 200sx a waste of time!?!?!....yeah, right....I ran a C5 on the autobahn the same day of the drag race....I noticed none of your shyt talkin frineds (other than bruce) have taken me up on my offer! you don't see me backing down do you? As far as making friends on this board, hahaha...I have friends on this board already, and the people that actually know me, know I'm not full of bs....alot of you think that your mighty V8 is the last word on performance and bang for the buck....like I said, when I'm ready to come to the states, I will personally call you out on his board and challenge you to that race we talked about, remember? you are going to waste me on a top-end run

Quote: I know. He talks about all these people from other boards, and these races we've never seen. Personally, I like to post here about stuff that actually happens.. I never doubted any of his non-fbody kills, but when he starts saying crap that doesn't add up, I get defensive.. yeah, and what's so hard to believe about me beating f-bodies...is it because you own one? pleeeease! yall need to wake up...who have I talked about from other boards, I talk only about my cars! If someone asks for proof of something I can't provide, then I reference them to proof....and another thing, while yall talking sooo much noise, how many of you do ALL your own work? I do all my own work. period! What doesn't add up, a 400hp 300zxtt can't beat a bolt-on LS-1 or LT-1?

[/quote]hehehe...I said my 200sx made 200hp stock...it's not stock anymore ...out of all you listed , i guess the aspen RT would be the one I would want to race....so what's done to the 318 to make it a top-end runner? 340? 360?
