I dont mind shit talking perse, something like my buddy who has a bad ass camaro talking smack about subarus is just funny, shit talking where the person obviously has no idea about cars or tries to insinuate that I dont know anything about cars, that is annoying.

They did make a 3 cylinder turbo Geo. I think it was around 1990-1991

no turbo geo.
there was a turbo sprint, they are COOL. pretty easy to get em down to 1400lbs and up to 100hp or so.

Ok, well either you are wrong or the owner's manual to my dad's 1990 Geo metro was wrong. Because I specifically remember it mentioning a turbo Metro. Unless that manual was used for both cars and they failed to mention the turbo was the sprint...I'd like a mitsubishi mirage turbo, small but quick, or a mazda gtx

it is possible that that manual included info on a chevy sprint since geo was under GM ownership but I am not sure. there could be a turbo geo but I doubt it.

theres a turbo isuzu impulse i believe it was. for some reason, they are tied into the geo/gm crap too. thats what i remember anyway.

Festivas have 4 cylinders


I would love an Impulse Turbo, with the big "Handling by Lotus" badge

LoL. there was one at the races last time and it was so sleeper. some hondas thought it would be an easy kill, all i could say was, they got their ass handed to them. was really funny to see.

Isuzu Impulse = Geo Storm. There was a Turbo Geo.

I saw a Turbo Sprint the other day. With the neat little "intercooled" badge.

Killed: Some old chevy 2wd truck w/ tool box

Well, today on my way home from my girlfriends I was following this old Chevy truck, I wouldnt have really engaged in a speedy pursuit if it had not been his persistant pedal to the floor acceleration around almost every corner and at every stop sign. So as we both stop at the last stop sign he floors it (who knows if he was trying to get away from me or just driving fast) but I decide to pursue. The first 4 uphill corners are sharp S turns, usually taken at about 35mph if you are just cruisin'. So ofcourse he decides to cross into the other lane on every corner he can, and as we reach the top of the hill, he pulls of the road onto the shoulder in a hurry, but only to wip in behind me (I guess you could call it a wip, its a truck, nothin special...) and tries the old bright lights and right on ur ass trick, but of course he is slow and I am fast, I quickly leave him for dead because his car is slow....


ok, ok, I probably didnt need to write all this but I found it funny and a little fun.

Cliff Note: I make an old chevy pull off the road for me.

my friend just bought a 88 supra 5speed non turbo
so we went out to play
from a light (at the drag strip duh!) too 100km i had him by like two and a half car lengths

I pulled in behind a hopped up honda civic hatch with fart can. It was lowered and what not and had a full 4 people in it. As I cruise in behind them , one kid notices my FMIC and they all turn around to check it out... The I do a nice romp on their ass getting onto the freeway. Of course they didnt have a chance, with an extra 600 lbs in there...

While it wasnt a race, it was still fun.

Dude, if I saw a FMIC like yours, I'd be scared.

yeah, something about a fmic just hanging out in the open screams crazy man behind the wheel.

killed another STi with my daily driver legacy SS

In my old car I accidentally tried to race a cop. I was in a bad mood and it was raining really bad. There's a spot back near my parents house where people always try and whip past you at a stop light, so I was like fine, I am romping this crown vic. Just looked like some douche of a kid, light turned green and I jumped way out on him, and I could hear his engine so I went harder because he couldnt get traction. Next thing I knew he was next to me and I could see flashing lights, but I thought they were behind me so I tried to get over and he sped up. Now I was looking in my rear view for the cop, I coudlnt see him, then I looked over at the guy next to me and he had a badge pressed up against his window. So I slowed down and he went about his business. pretty funny That is one of the last times I really raced, with the exception of egging cars on in the snow like mustangs, civics and the such

kills:
plent of honda's to name
few evo 8's
few stock REX's
STi (only because the guy couldn't drive)
S-10 truck w/ 4.3 V6
few others i cant remember

killed by:
EVO 9 MR (full exhaust, intake, and upped boost)
89 ford ranger (302V8 and T67 turbo 600RWHP i didn't know before hand)
thats it really, its hard to get any races anymore.

I try to stay on topic, but I'm too curious now. "The Scooby" what do you have done that you beat Evo 8's or were they terrible drivers?

or not trying?

I almost put a 302 in my 93 Ranger. Then I got a Subaru.

when i was running them it was at 16psi, STi TMIC, 3inch exhaust, & blitz LM intake. with taht settup im around 220AWHP, and weighing like 400lbs less and launching harder i can get about half a car on them.

What kind of dyno was that on?

220whp? No chance.

Have you actually SEEN an EVO launch? Those things can get down. I've driven more than one, and even stock they really scoot.
