TurK · 03-25-2004, 09:05 PM

and why does it "cost 138k to loose to a 240" ?

gsracer · 03-25-2004, 09:08 PM

cuz he paid all that money to lose to a 4000 dollar nissan 4 banger, i thought it was a witty title i dont know...

TurK · 03-25-2004, 09:09 PM

lol he still has a 138k dollar car

gsracer · 03-25-2004, 09:10 PM

and i still have my beat up s14,,,, shit i really did lose, not the race though

TurK · 03-25-2004, 10:01 PM

lol i guess you can think of it that way...

Jessi · 03-25-2004, 11:10 PM

I love 240s and all, but I don't think one could beat a V12. I'm not saying I don't believe you. More power to you if you did beat a V12.

nightwalker · 03-25-2004, 11:18 PM

I'm going to go race everyone and their mom and get it on video (ala cheeze frog) to show you guys that a 240 can kick some ass! but I'll need a SR first, and a gt30, walbro fuel pump, 750cc injectors, Z maf, Spearco front mount, RSR exhaust, exedy clutch, Apex AFC, Toda flywheel, greddy manifold, greddy downpipe, HKS O2 elbow, and some dyno tuning. I'll let you guys know in a year.

13.4 at 105 with a 6 spped manual, if seen many 240sr's with mild upgrades run that at the local track. And the one i race is an automatic and convertible so add a couple hundred pounds and minus points for wind resistance. so subtract another 1 - 2 tenths. does it still seem imposible that i beat him, oh and heres the link to the website i got this from so people wont think i fabed this up.

I really wouldn't call this a kill since the atmoshpere would leave some people in a 150K to drive carefully.....meaning the guy would have OWN3D you if it was on the highway (no cars around) or ON THE TRACK. BTW...I'd advise that you should be very careful. Either way..glad you got upclose with such a nice car.

BTW...the title to this thread is weird...

I can buy a 87 Civic DX for $400 and lose to a 240...or better yet...I can lose to one for free riding with my aunt.

GlacierFreeze · 03-26-2004, 11:14 PM

Too much damned squabling. I believe him, damn. And if he didn't then oh f**cking well.

hondaguy · 03-27-2004, 02:36 PM
