What do I need to beat this guy?

UofMfooTbaLL24 · Feb 2, 2004

This cocky @$$hole at school has a 1998 Bonneville SSEi, the supercharged one, and brags because his car can beat mine... what do I need to beat him?

I have... a 1998 GT 5 speed. Right now it has BBK Cold Air Intake, underdrive pulley and flowmaster 40 series mufflers. I plan on knocking out all 6 cats w/ an O/R H-Pipe and i'm also getting 3.73 gears to replace the awwffffulllll 2.73's. Do I need anyting else to beat him quartermile? If so... whats the most bang for buck by means of horsepower...

Thanks

i think you should own him if its the factory supercharged version...

Ah yes, my arch nemesis bonneville, well, you don't need much since their 0-60 is around 6.9-7secs, and they are heavier, you really have nothing to worry about, you should beat him stock but I woud unrestrict your exhaust, I would accually go for the 4.10's to start off, but how much are you willing to spend?

Firemanz · Feb 2, 2004

I would get the 4.10's as well. Plan on sprayin' or adding a S/C?

Bone Racing · Feb 2, 2004

dont spin and you'll win

lil boltons would open up DISTANCE on him

03-s281 · Feb 2, 2004

You should whip his tail!!
If he's talking smack he might be spraying.

JonJon · Feb 2, 2004

yeah that's a good point... does he have any mods?

StangLou · Feb 2, 2004

More then likely, hes just like you said and is cocky since his is s/c from the factory. If youve got the money, Id definately get the gears put in .
From there you can go in any direction you want. If you dont have to worry about emissions, I dont see what would be wrong with taking out all the cats .
Let us know how it goes!

DoctorGeek97GT · Feb 2, 2004

If you stay stock, I would be a little careful -- I don't think you would skunk him with a major lead. If he's dinked around with mods of his own (i.e. supercharger pulley for more psi)

I guess his car would be like the gr. prix gtp then?

I'd like to see this race though...

Dude, that's a no contest!

KJ Hoppus · Feb 2, 2004

get the gears and the o/r midpipe and walk him

BullittStangV8 · Feb 2, 2004

gears and x will allow you to absolutly murder him. just dont blow the launch and it will be childsplay.

I don't think the owner is cocky because he has a modded bonneville... I bet he's cocky because he dosn't know any better. Whip his butt man! Get the bolt ons to make it look worse. Then steal his girl and give him a mushroom stamp.

trivette · Feb 2, 2004

you should have no problem beating him (i had a 2002 boneville ssei supercharged, and it was fairly quick for everyday stuff in a big car) but nothing like a mustang. he should get

ChrisXoxide · Feb 2, 2004

Don't take a chance, just throw gears and a cheap H or X pipe.

Badd GT · Feb 2, 2004

i think he said he is bragging because he has beat him. if you are needing rear tires soon. opt for a set of nitto 555r drag radials from discount tire direct for about $250 + another $50 for mounting & some 4.10's from gene evans ford for about $135.00 & install should be around $200-$300 with some redline gear oil. thats about $650-$700 total & you will walk him from a light or a roll.
if you got more than money to blow than that you might want to consider a ported & polished PI headswap then it wont matter if he has all the bolt-ons for the bonneville.

hey poxic i saw your from gladstone........i am from belton.

Always... wingless red 01 with flows... Used to say "CRAZY HORSE" on the brow.

Badd GT · Feb 3, 2004

poxic have you been to kcir?
if so do you have times showing any gain without spoiler vs with spoiler?
i heard you gain almost a tenth without spoiler but i would like to get facts instead of hearsay.

PoXiC · Feb 3, 2004

never thought of it as a performance gain. But now I dont have the madd tyte downforce for my doorifting adventures. I haven't been out to the track since i got rid of the wing. I just took it off last month.

What do I need to beat this guy?
