Just wondering who would win.
I'm looking to get an 87 GN or T-Type and I have a friend who has an '03 SRT-4 and also there's an 04 SRT-4 that some kid owns who works with my girl friend. I am leary about taking them on w/ one of my SC's but if I find a nice TR does it have a chance against these new turbo go-karts?
Anyone race one? Lets hear some stories.
By the way my 5-speed SC (3900 lbs) has cold air intake w/ 9" K&N under bumper/fender, gears, catless downtubes, flowmaster catback system, overdrive SC pulley, 160 t-stat, cooling fan hotwired w/ ign, larger fuel pump, short throw shifter, lowered, and 245/50/16 Yokohamas (bald so terrible launch). I can whip up on most stangs in my area but the weight of the Neon and my bald tires scare me and I don't want to lose money on the race. I could win if the Neon puts 'em up in smoke off the line and I baby it till I have traction.
I'm half tempted to just put a 100 hp dry N2O kit on my SC. I've got the fuel and exhaust flow to support it, just need to get a set of colder plugs.
What could be done (free mods) to an 87 TR to give it some extra boost?
