Got my $hit kicked

smithbling · 05-28-2001, 10:49 PM

Okay, my car right now has 2.73's, headers, mufflers, and a KN filter, along with one passenger.

I pull up to this 87 LX on the highway doing about 75MPH and I am in 3rd. I pull even and he hits it a little before me and instantly puts 2 cars on me then very slowly pulls away until 120MPH. We get off the highway and go from a 35MPH(in 2nd) roll until 70MPH and he instantly pulls one car and maintains. I get beside him while driving and roll down the window. Get this! He says "Pick a different car next time buddy" I think you little ***** !

I figure if I ditched my buddy and the tank of gas reading past full, I would have kept him alot closer. Do you think that instant pull is from gears.

Yes

I drove my friends 90 lx hatch today with 4.30s, that thing feels 10 times more responsive than mine, and in 3rd it will go sideways with some pedal on floor, although i have run a better e.t. than him.

Sounds like he had a bolt-on car with more gear than you.
