Ok, well my friend has a 1991 acura legend with the type II engine in it rated at 230 hp (at the flywheel) and has a 5spd and he is talking all kinds of crap on my car, friends 89 GT, and other friends fully restored 69 fastback w/ a 351 in it. needless to say he has earned the title of a complete idiot. I just want to make sure that i can beat him with the mods in my sig...
I know i need to install the 4:10's and pullies but im really short on money right now. And by the way, he cannot drive worth $hit. I mean at all.....

thanks for your help. Also, how would the outcome be if i had the 4:10s installed?

-Drew

Edit: Mine is an auto....ya i know thats what the 4:10s are for
Edit 2: This guy has never raced a manual in his life....He wont want to go from a roll. But somehow he said he beat a 95 cobra on sunday night we all got a kick out of that http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2467761381&category=33731 <-----how do those look?

u should beat him even without the 4:10s. install the pulleys. don't let him talk u into starting from a roll like most ricers do. make him start from a stop, and you'll own him.

if he can't drive well let him smoke his tire's during his launch while you drive away laughing at him.

Click to expand...

That car cant smoke its tires....i would have no doubt in my mind if he bogged it really bad or just stalled I just need some more confidence to really race him. So im okay stock right now and then annhilation would be at hand with 4:10s.

I have alittle more respect for Hondas then I used to. My mom has a 96 Civic DX 5 speed and I bet my friends 84 trans am 305 auto and my buds 70 Nova 350 auto at the drag strip. It was pretty funny. I pulled a 11.0 @ 65 in a 1/8 mile.

any 80s gm car with a 305 is slow, all 80s camaros for example are extremly slow and can be beat by hondas, not a big acomplishment really. bad generation for the camaro and trans am.

Well I think a 65mph trap is pretty good for a 106 HP motor. Because Drew is probably going to trap 70mph in a 1/8
