Lost to a mazdaspeed3

me and a buddy raced last night. went from a 40 roll, and we stayed DEAD even till around 80, then he began to pull decently. Lost by about 3/4 to 1 car length before i shut it down. It was only him in his car, and i had a buddy in my car.

his mods were just a magnaflow catback and mazdaspeed brand intake.

my mods are (RL) - 2.9, 42s, meth injection, italianjoe mani, catted dp, 2.5 catback, cx racing he, K&N intake.

edit - i know how to drive...before someone mentions that.

yeah, its really sad when you have a 2.2 cobalt and tryin to mod it that can still only hang with base rsx's but hey, o well.

Anyways, im sure my buddy in the wont have TOO much to do with it,...but i duno, i was def surprsed after finding other threads on here. Either he gained, or i lost it at the top end though.

You either:

A) don't know how to drive

B) tune sucks

C) your buddy in your car weighs like 500 lbs

D) lost and realize that any car on any day...

How am i being a dick? The first guy was to me, and i was soley talkin to him, no one else.

A) I do know how to drive. Going from a 40 roll is not too much rocket science.

B) Possibly, as always. Good point.

C) He wieghs around 150

D) Yea im not saying it was a BS race. I lost, but going from other thread, just seein with my mods if its running where it should be, ya kno.

Hey dude, yeah the MS3's are very fast... Stock they're pushing 263hp, and 285ft lbs of torque, just a few bolt-ons + tune literally puts them in the 290hp & 300+ lbs of torque...

I know two guys that have some decently modded MS3's ( They're kinda dicks.. well one is..) but they're fast there's no denying that.

So I'm not surprised that you lost you said by like 3/4 to 1 car length which isn't that bad... It's not like you got walked or anything.

But yeah, even between a stock SS/TC & a MS3 it'd be a drivers race...

gay.. i was the fastest balt in my town it sucks everyone wants tor ace you cant get threw 3 nights on a tank. according to the people in my town you can put a 50 shot on and auto 2.2 and be faster than an ss/sc thats topped out on mods nearly, only thing i didnt have was internals. not to brag but it wasnt evern worth racing other base model balts (no matter what they had), tiberons (slow), mustang gt's i would walk. then one a day a CRX pulls up and tries to race wtf wasnt even an si. and got pissed cause i looked at his engine and told them no point in wasteing gas. now back to the point at hand i havent raced a MS3 would have if i still ahd the balt. i did race a twin turbo SRT4 ill tell you bout that one. from a 50 roll he whoops my ass at 100 the pulled me by 2 cars. i think he was spraying. we was dead even then he looks over smiles and the all of a sudden bam pulls me by 2 cars. what yall think? sorry didnt mean to thread jack.

he right tho it was close. it could have been weather conditions deciding that race if it was only 3/4 of a car

i will excuse your ignorance. 2.2's with the right mods are beasts, with my mods, i destroyed a fully bolted RSX-S. I hang with stockish LSJ's, that is pretty impressive for a car that cost half as much as urs brand new, and under 2k in mods.

sorry for the thread jack but its been this **** on the little guys crap lately, im sorry having a blower makes you think you're better than all.
