well tell us how many times u have lost Im sure u have lost atleast one race. i personally have seen two rx7s loose.. one was a rx7 vs. a v8 chevy luv and the other a rx7 vs. a datsun 510 rotary thats what ive seen so far. both first gen.
and no im not trying to put the 7 down i just want to see some honesty https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif |
ohh by the way the two races where at the track and not a street race sorry about that
|
umm... i'm 1-2-0 (lost to a lincoln Mark 8 twice there is a topic on it check it out)
|
I lost to a Viper GTS on the freeway going up into the mountains once. Blew my friggin motor on that run. He basically walked away from me once we hit 140MPH
|
Yeah well that is kinda expected, it's what those cars were designed for.
|
yes, of course! Although, I have yet to lose to a Viper since. Granted I have done significant mods, and I've only been racing R/T-10's, but still. It's funny how altitude takes the ummph out of naturally aspirated cars.
In fact, I was racing a 360 Modena last summer and he didn't pull on me very hard. He won, but not by much. |
i lost to a single turbo supra once, good race, had me by a carlenght at 120.
ive also lost to tcb100's FD at the track a few times. |

Yep, I have a friend who lives in Colorado outside Denver. He bought a 89 mustang gt, when he brought it out to Michigan, he was like holy **** this car is fast. We did calculations and it turn out to be like 10-15% of your power goes bye bye at ~7k feet altitude
|
i have a stock FD and had my ass stomped by a 12 second mustang....hehehe don't know what happened there https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif ..... j/k also had a stompin by a low 13 second firebird....ummm mustang GT's are a ******* joke....havn't raced any type of cobra (a new one would KILL me). that's pretty much it. of course now my goal is my firends low 12 second stang.....vengence will be mine.
|
i lost to a bpu supra and a viper when i just had my dp and recently my friend walked me in his 471rwhp 03 cobra, i thought id be able to catch up on him but now hes gettin some blowzilla supercharger. cobras are FAST
|
I've lost about 4 or 5 races thanks to traction V's V8's cars, mostly commodores.
|
I don't even bother racing, I just assume I'll either lose, or I'll break something.

I lost 1 time. It was a long time ago and I was racing a '00Mustang GT. My mods at the time were full exhaust everything else stock. He pulled me by 3 cars at the top of third.
Ummm... I then turned on my N2O (the only other mod to my car at the time) and I pulled him by 6+ cars at the top of 3rd. Since my engine swap I have not been beat. Honestly most will not race me though. |
I haven't even had a real race yet.. not that many people around here that race alot. Well, not many people that I know about anyways. There's this one kid who wants to race me.. He drives a '03 cobra, he says it has all the bolt ons. I'm sure it's supercharged. But I think I may just wait until I have a little more power before I start trying to pick up races.

yep, that also comes along with a nice 12 sec 1/4 mile

I lost my very first race in the FD. Highway pull, 70-130 with a WS-6... Yeah.. It was fun. Started in third and punched it. He slowly pulled a half-car.. I shifted to 4th and he gained another few feet. I stayed on his rear quarterpanel till we let off. Cool ass dude. His car had an exhaust.

I lose all the time. Of course i drive an automatic 90 Accord.
But i lose to GS-R's, Mustangs, Camaros, Minivans, Bicycle riders all the friggin time. I do however beat most civics. |
Damn, I didn't know the cobra's came stock with a supercharger.. I thought the saleen had the one model which was supercharged..
|
I've lost alot of races....Never lost at the track when I was driving. But one loss is worth mentioning. I lost to a riced out civic. I was showing off and blew a vital vacuum hose and although he jumped on me I couldnt catch up.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif
|
You lost to a civic? Agh.. that sucks. But, I mean hell.. if something like a vaccum line pops, you have an excuse. What all mods did he have?

Well. that really sucks man..
|
3 or 4 times at least...
at the track to a meanass '69 camaro... also to a C5 Vette that sounded just as bad as the '69 camaro. Both of those were when my car was stock and ran a 14.075 @ 99.75. With intake and downpipe, ran a friend's BPU++ Supra from a roll before I was wise on "brake boosting" Lemme tell you, running vs a BPU++ Supra doing 20psi+ on a 60mph roll in a nearly stock RX-7 isn't a good idea. Most of the time though, I have won or just didn't realize we were racing... *cough*hondas*cough*... Gotta love sitting at a stop light and laughing at the honda revving at you, then he takes off and hazards you, while you're still laughing and just putting the car in gear. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
lol... i've come to the line with a 5.0 litre mustang witch i spanked... my friends 78 starefire was a piece of cake (the kid actualy though he could beat me) and POS ford thunderbird which was laughing and saying "look out hes gotta turbo two" and i spanked his as me and my friend were laughing sooo hard. but i have yet to come to the line with a ricer civic... i can't wait when i smoke every single one of them
|
the camaro I ran made a 10.6 second pass, and the vette an 11.2 second pass I believe. I've spanked quite a few z28s and SSs but none recently or worth mentioning.
I always get'em on the highway. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |

Ya they come with 395 hp stock out of the factory.

yes very nice

ive lost 4 times. two times to fbodies ( one was spraying ) the other two were really supid races my friend set up. he gave the other cars too many spots out and i ended up loosing when i found most those races shouldve been heads up. 3 out of 4 times i purposly threw the race to race them later on for more money, not yet though.
i then walked my friends formula time after time after time comming home from the races, untill he sprayed on me and he suddenly caught up... then my car broke as usual and i couldnt go again on our usual strip. |
when spraying i mean 150-300 shot, which makes it hard to touch them on the street, especially when they have autos and cant screw up.

Lost to a 180sx all done up, when I still had my MR2, I use to race it every weekend, and I took a few other 180sx with it, FCs and a couple Skyline GTS-Ts, GTOs which is a 3000GT Mitsubishi OH I forgot I blew my engine on the run I lost to the 180sx hehe
FD--Never lost as of yet. I dont drag as much as I did with my MR2. I have raced GTRs, GTS-Ts, all Silivias at least one of each, actually more weer S14s, a FC, NO HONDA since all they do is rev their engine well the ones I delt with, I raced a Mustang all done up, I thought that would be my first lost, but he took it like a beeach good run though. Also GTOs which is a 3000GT Mitsubishi. Oh well I mentioned my one lost. I dont have that much HP, so maybe Im just lucky so far https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png JT |
I've only raced one car that was any competetion in my fd. It was my friends 300ZX and it's posted in this section.
When I had my 2000 Integra Type R I lost a couple of races. It was all stock and a honda so no certainly no match for most V8's. I enjoyed the car but sold it and bought my 7. Best decision I ever made!!! |
Before my motor swap I lost to a c4 vette the 1st month of owning/driving a stick.. Then I lost to a buddies s5 by like a foot to 110...
|
I got ass raped by a VR-4 3000GT by like 1,000,000 cars. LOL
again I have a stock 86 sport with non functioning 5/6th ports bad exhaust leaking at the header, cat, y pipe, mufflers. And bad tires that you can see the sidewall's flex by moving the car LOL. Mabey after my 13BT swap I will have better luck. |
