Ok my friend at school has a 1990 300ZX N/A version. He has been talking a lot of smack. Today he told me his car produced about 300 HP and that it was the 2nd fasted production car in the world in 1990. Now I know cars and I am thinking that there is no way his non turbo 300ZX is pushing 300 HP. The car is completely stock. So I go home and search it on WikiPedia.org. It turns out his car has the VG30DE engine which only produces about 222 HP. The car also weighs 3500 pounds.

I am pretty sure I can walk all over his @ss once I get turbo. But what are the chances of my car, 1993 civic EX w/ D16Z6 vs. his car which weighs more than 1000 pounds more than my car? Any chance in hell? Should I try to shut him up before I turbo my car?

Well I really dont even mind losing to him. Can you really brag about beating a stock civic? And if its going to be close then I will race him for sure. He thinks he will totally blow me away like im riding a Huffy. But if the race is even close at all it will shut him up. And I will make sure to take my digital camera along to get it on tape because if I beat him no one will believe me!
