Today he told me his car produced about 300 HP and that it was the 2nd fasted production car in the world in 1990.

2nd fastest production car in 1990

Try second fastest production Nissan.

Be careful though, those cars respond wickedly to mods, and it will be a lot easier for him to turbo up than it is for you (he has everything ready to go). And those cars aren't bad at all with a turbo.

Well today at school I told him about the research I did. I told him he had only 222 HP and weighed 3500 pounds, bla bla bla... Well he doesnt believe me at all. Still thinks its the coolest car in the world. So I challanged him to a race and he agreed. So when it gets warm and isnt snowing we are going to race.

The TT can run high 13's stock. This was probably what he was talking about being one of the fastest production cars made at the time.
The N/A can run low 15's.
Unless it's an auto, either one will beat you.

The N/A will run 14's with a cheap mod or two.

Doesn't matter the weight when it's racing a Civic. It has RWD and tons of torque to pull its weight. It'll pull off the line, and keep pulling on the roll.

It weights about 1400 pounds more than my civic. Your saying that means nothing? 198 ft lbs. of torque isnt tons of torque on a 3500 pound car.

The 1990 + were all the same generation. The Z32's all had 3.0 v6's im pretty sure. I may be wrong about that though but his is a V6.
