solstice 2008:
2.4 L
2,860 lbs
173 HP @ 5,800 rpm; 167 ft lb
0-60 7.2-7.7 sec
The guy thinks his car is fast as a ferrari lol... and he says the focus is ugly.. which i dont care i cuz i like it.. is there any prob in a race of he losing?.. i dont think im racing vs him but id like to know lol xD.
Things look really close.. eventhough the solstice is a 2 pass car... and has a bigger engine, maybe it doesnt count but the solstice driver is kinda fat too hahaa, im not skinny but im like 160 lb he must be like 230 maybe?.. his car i think its stock and mine has... uhm .. toms tune, spec stg 2 clutch n alum fw, k&n filter, cat delete and 1 vf motor mount... i dont think i get much hp from those mods but may worth a penny at last haha
so what do you guys think about the solstice? i just started to think its a un unefficient car in some way i also read it has some understeering at the track.. the brakes are good.. uhm... thats pretty much it
i didn't race a solstice, but i saw him run a 16.1 at the track, slow as all get out!! i ran low 15's that day, never went against him, but it would have been nice to spank his car!! i think he had never driven it b4, cause i'm guessing they can run low to mid 15's all day. but it would be really really close!!
I had a guy in a saturn sky take a couple of runs with me once. I would say that we were equally matched and it could very well be a drivers race, but with the RWD its tough to get them on the launch. They have the advantage.
really?... uhm 159 whp and 151 wtq thats over me i think.. ive seen the svt can run 15.9 so if u say his best was 15.4 i think there is a chance or it would be a very close drag lol
it'd be a close race..but i say just race him! that's the only way you'll find out....and if you lose, oh well, there's always a loser..and if you win, great
no.. he never leaves school at the same time as me.. i was just wondering because when i see him he talks shit of the svt thats pretty much it.. if i race him sometime i will post it here lol =P
yep invite him out to the strip, these guys will never show up.
the A4 guy at work, the S5 guy at work, the Covette guy at work...all talk smack, but they never come out.
no one expects a Focus to be fast.
those cars are weak someone traded one in for a vette at work and when i was cleaning it up i was [][][][][][]g around on the lot with it and it had some bulls but not a whole lot.
If you take him to the track and loose, o well, but you paid 1/2 as much for a car that is basically as fast and handles better!! lol, that should shut him up!!
=P havent raced the solstice but i did race a navigator ROFL... ahaha the guy was just like the one from the solstice but i always see him at the end of day so we raced... i couldnt see him in the mirror ahaha
i would say to race him. the best way is to get him to a track. there is paper work involved there. you can save a time slip. on the street he could just say he wasn't really racing. get him to a track and show him what our cars can do.
I say do a best out of 3 race it should be a close one hopefully he spins off the line.
