My friend is picking up a GSX this weekend with a holset hx40 in it. He wants to line up when he gets it. My mods are a k&n intake, zzp shorty header, zzp catted dp, and magnaflow exhaust. I'm getting tuned with hp here soon. Who would take it? I don't know much more about the gsx he's getting. It could be fully built for all I know

 

He would take u. But he'll probably break down. Dsm ftl. Ask how I know...

 

Lol how do you know

 

Well I owned a 4g63 as my first car and it ran when it wanted to. It was a gst though with a stock turbo. Some bolt ons and seemed pretty quick. I never been in one with a big turbo so I would say he may be putting down more power than you while being awd and weighing less. Although if you have the "driver mod" it should be close.

 

if its running right he will take you hard, both from a roll and from a Dig.

but then again it is a DSM, and "running right" isn't in their vocab.

I had a 1993 Eagle Talon and the thing was a HUGE piece of ****. You think the Cobalt is bad? lol you have no idea until you own a DSM

 

^truth

 

he will make you look like your're standing still lol..

 

How about u pick up a tvs and get tuned. U may keep up.

 

Just make it a best 2 out of 3 race reliability is your friend not his
But if that thing is "right" your gonna get a steady dose of taillights

 

Hot lap him, you'll be fine (as long as your IC pump is functioning) and his may not make it.

 

I owned a 93 talon with a jdm 4g63t. it was nice but I burned it to the ground before I could make real power. lol fuel line rupture I believe, but ill never know cause its ashes

 

Dsm's running Holsets usually pushing mid 400's to low 500's to the wheels. That HX40 is capable of 600ish. However it will be a bit sluggish spooling.

 

The AWD should offset the spool time vs a Cobalt.

You will get killed.

 

I figured this would be the outcome. He's never owned a manual car before, but he's drove my ss a few times. He's not bad at it, but I have the driver mod until he learns manual good lol

 

The only chance you have is being used to driving your car as he will be brand new to his setup. Other than that he'll probably pull a county on you even if you had a TVS. Like ozzy said 400-600whp, solid 11 high 10sec possibilities for him, unless it blows which is very likely with a DSM.

 

Im just going to leave this here

 

Ouch

 

The best way to find out is to just race him

 

Oh I plan on it. We're buddies, so we ain't putting money or anything on it. He just wants to see what the gsx is capable of. He knows my SS is fast.

 

Will there be a goro of this event

 

Go Pro? Probably not considering neither of us owns one. A passenger to record it? Most likely yes

 

That will do

 

lol goodluck. i had a 4g63 myself... the thing was fun but barely ever ran properly... DSM ftl is right..

i got a ride in a 411hp dsm before though... it was pretty quick.

 

I had a white 98 that I built. Made around 400 to the wheels. Never ran 100% right though.

 

LOL, "Holy ****!" and that was a 400whp Evo. GSX was going like it was it's last pull ever, could have been.
