how hard does the Solstice 2008 pulls?...

I was reading it has 177 hp and 16xlbft of tq...
i also read it was quite heavy?



focus svt 2003:
2.0 L
2750 - 2,770 lbs
170hp 145lbft
0-60 7.5-7.8 sec


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

you might have him with a good launch.. he has RWD

^ ^ pummmmmmmmmm parum pum puuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm regaeton yandel!

 

[j-zetec_pr]

hahhhAHAHAHhAHAHAHha!!
ELIEL!!!

 

[silveib]

i think it can be done

 

[sayin0487]

ive beaten a solstice at the track before. but i dont have an svt...

 

[SVTRSST]

drag strip¿

 

[mlbbaseball]

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!!

 

[..:: sleestak ::..]

give it a run.

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.

drag strip¿

yes at the drag strip. i was running high 14's, low 15's all night that night. and the best he did was a 15.4

 

[SVTRSST]

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

 

[sayin0487]

if you can drive, you will do better than a 15.9. ive heard of svt's going mid 15's stock.

and maybe some svt guys can chime in with what they have done

 

[RhodySVT]

I've seen a couple SVTs with just bolt ons like tune, intake, orp run very high 14 to low 15's

 

[alk3civichater]

just make sure its not the turbocharged one.. haha

 

[SVTRSST]

its not... just a simple solstice =P its weird to see a GXP ( i think its the turboed one) around here

 

[RobsRedRacer]

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

 

[SVTRSST]

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

 

[sayin0487]

u can beat him. alot of them shit talkers cant drive for shit anyways

 

[RobsRedRacer]

you should invite him to race at your local track...tell him to put his money where his mouth is (figuritively, sp.?, speaking)

 

[uncle tail]

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.
