A girl i work with wants to race me in her boy friends 96 ford probe gt.
My car has:
flowmaster cat back, dynomax converter (both 3in), open element, fiber glass ram air hood with custom ram air, 160 thermostat, computer chip, 305 tbi auto
Her car is completely stock and is a stick

how do you think i will do?

 

Unless she's really good with a stick and has the guts to properly abuse that Probe, I think you'll win. And even if she does, you might still win.

 

I'm thinkin you all the way.

 

Sounds like you got her. Those Probes weren't the fastest thing on the road.

 

My friend used to have a Probe GT. It was quick. It took a 240sx and a 4th gen v6, but it would't beat your V8. It was nice car and it had good handling. The specs:

2.5L V6
* Horsepower: 164 @ 5600rpm
* Torque: 160 @ 4800rpm
* Curb Weight: 2,921

Not bad numbers but you should be able to take it. Good luck.

 

they are fairly quick, 0-60 on them is about 7.1 seconds. I took one for a test drive before I got my Cavalier and it would chirp the tires into 3rd gear easily.

 

Cool thanks guys it looks like it is going to be a victory for the mighty lo3!

 

good luck
never liked the probe....ugly POS in my opinion.
and its a ford too.......

 

Yeah it is always good to beat anything with a blue oval on it. I work tomarrow so i will setup the race and let you know how it turns out.

 

You've got her..
I have less mods than you and I took a Probe GT-s 24V.
All I have is a s/s hood, open element, hi-performance water pump, and shift kit. Mine's a 1992 RS lo3 automatic.

I raced him from a stop, his was a five speed and I beat him pretty badly. I didn't really start pulling on him until about 4th gear though.

Might as well go ahead and add this to your kill list.

 

You should kill the probe. I have simuliar mods to you except i have a 5- speed. I raced several probe gt's. They are slow. You should have several car lengths on him by the time you hit 60.

 

All i have to say is...goodbye Probe:lala:

 

Friend of mine has a 96 Probe 5-spd. With some light mods...he's done 15.8's. I dunno how fast a 92RS is though.

 

dude..thats "Melba Toast" not "Melvin Coast" lol

 

you will waste the probe! Did you know that the engine is actually a mitsubishi engine.

 

Mazda engine..it was in the MX6...165hp

 

I think you'll win too. Back before I got my gears/rear-end, I raced one of those cars and beat it. All I had then was my flowmaster, you shouldn't have any trouble. Good luck.

 

I used to own a '91 Probe w\3.0 V6. It was quick, but not all that fast. Your RS will probably kill it. Good luck!

 

those cars are pretty quick, youll beat it but, we had an 89 with an auto and my dad would always chirp tires going to second....not bad for an auto probe

 

Thanks for all the repleys. I still havent raced the probe yet. I have went back to school and so did the girl who drives the probe so it is hard to set something up
