Default ~HELP~can i beat a 98 Mitsubishi gs-t???

hey guys, my friend from work has been bothering me lately telling me he wants to race & i tell him i don't wanna race b/c i will spank your car & don't wanna make you cry & lose to a girl lately though he been talking a lot of smack & i feel like i need 2 shut him up! but i have never raced a gs-t & never driven one, so i don't know how they run? so far i know his car has air intake & exhaust mod's only i believe. so i need some advice before i look like a fool. Smoke him or get smoked by him? thanks!

All depends on his mods.. Since its not the awd gsx, I think you will have him off the line. If that person is pushing a lot of boost you might be in for a suprise.

if he only has intake and exhaust, then he's not pushing anything above boost.

look for a boost controller mounted near his dash somewhere, and that'll let ya know if he's pushing any more psi. if all he has is intake and exhaust, you'll bury him easily.

Wis, he needs more than just a boost controller...I raced a GS-T with at least exhaust, and by about 70-80 my g/f looked back and told me I could probably stop. He was ~10 cars back, and losing ground.

They say you can hit high 12's on the 4g63 engine with the stock bottom end. But I think this involves much fuel and tuning upgrades. I/E + Intercooler and b
