He doesn't explain from what to tho? From a roll? Dig? What MPH to what MPH? Makes quite a bit of difference.

1)1993 Camaro Z28 with intake,exhaust, and shift kit. - Yes, very possible
2) Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX with downpipe,intake,exhaust, front mount intercooler,and 16 psi. - Should have gotten his ass handed
3) FWD drive Turbo Talon - Easily
4) FWD Turbo Eclipse - Easily
5) LT1 Camaro Z28 - Possible
6) Modded Volkswagen Corrado G60 with pulley, chip,intake and exhaust,
7) metallic blue 350z that I beat by a car and half - Doubt it
8) silver 350Z by the same distance - Doubt it
9) 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 with intake, exhaust, and headers - Who hasn't beaten this car?
10) 2002 Ford Mustang GT - They have mid to upper 13s under their belt, so I doubt it
11) 2002 Hyundai Tibouron - Sure
12) 2002 Honda S2000 - Maybe, but still doubt it
13) 2002 Ford Lightning - I doubt it

Oh man as much as I hate to admit it, that car can't beat most of those cars... Here we go again another dreaming racer. 215-220whp on a FWD with no LSD with only an air filter can be tied or win if the other drivers sux and he is a monster launcher, but Law of Probability says it's not going to happen...Oh no I talked bad about the SRT-4...
wtf are you talking about? He probably beat more than 1/2 of them. The car is a great deal for $20K. Too bad 2034923490429 lil boyz will own it.

I'm gonna have to give an emphatic BS to him beating the Lightning.

A Lightning with Intake, Exhaust, and DR's beat the living s**t out of me. It wasn't even close, and I know the SRT-4, at its fastest, would be close to me.

I will say he can beat a stock Mustang GT, especially if it was an auto. I've destroyed one with exhaust, and many stock ones. With out stick tires its tough to get them under 14. (Tough, not impossible)

350Z's...possibly, if it was an auto. If a manual, doubt it. I raced a G35 coupe from a 60 roll, top down, with a passenger. He got the jump, then I slowly started to gain back (And I mean slowly). And last I checked, the G35 was pretty heavy.

And as far as the GSX goes, I've seen some with those mods that aren't that fast.

You can't be sure he did just based on what he said. If he more than likely BS'd about one race (Lightning) he did the same for all. And I stand by what I said, FWD no LSD yet great launchs vs sux drivers, than maybe he won. I think the performance for the $$$ is a good step forward by a company and yeah I agree about the lil boyz...

Maybe the Lightning was just toying - or better yet, didn't even know he was racing.
