I ran a early 90's stealth twin turbo on the hwy way last night. We Started off at 65mph and i only went to forth gear instead of third. I started off about a car behind the stealth and by the time i was shifting into fith i was almost side by side with it. But i have my limits and don't like to street race. So i let off . Should i have taken the stealth a bid faster ?? Or did i do good against it for my mods. His twin turbo was bone stock !!

I think if i went to third i would have done better ! What do you guys think ? Other then me being a moron for street racing. I just had to know how i could do against a stealth.

 

if you started in a lower gear you would have took him. theyre not that impressive. i ran a bolted on at the track and i was dissapointed n his times. My dad has an RT and i thought theyd be quicker he was only running mid to high 13's with his mods

 

It depends on the mods. With the right bolt ons they can do 12's @ 110+ on the stock 9b's. Upgraded turbo's, I would stay away. Stock, you should be able to pull away and would have done better from 3rd. Why did you shift into fifth? Goin pretty damn fast eh?

 

Yeah doesn't 4th red line at like 140+?

 

Yeah... I was goin too fast for my liking. I really need a driver mod. As soon as i shifted out of fifth and into fourth. I thought too myself ( wrong gear ) . I should have went for third. I would have had him so much qwicker!! Ah well.... What ever 4th redlines at thats where i was goin speed wise. I didn't really look at the speedo. But my tach just about to touch 7000rpms. So i shifted into fifth and said thats enough for me. I was still able to reel him in from over a car to side by side with him. I had already made my piont. I just could have pulled ahead of him i think if i used third. The crazy part was, when i let off. He kept on going and didn't stop !! I guess too make him feel like he beat me. And he took a crazy sharp left turn at about 150+mph .... I wasn't feelin that crazy.

 

yea if you learn how to race 4th gear come on .

 

Bad Driving..

Not all TT's are slow.. I raced my buddies 300z with intercooler, boost controller full exhaust and a few other goodies and the car flat runs .

 

300zx is a completely different animal than the 3s's. they weigh a lot less and can make more power on the stock turbo's. The vr4s and rt/tt's can be quick with bolt ons (12's are pretty easily doable) but since they weigh almost 4k lbs they need bigger turbos to really get some good ET's/traps.
