I was cruisin' last night when a white Mazda Precidia (V6) get next to me... I already saw this one in the city before and it was smoking like hell but now it seemed fine, so I ask the guy if he rebuild the engine and he said yes but did not do any modifications. So he ask if I wanna race. I say: "yes let's do it for fun". (They are 3 in the car by the way) The Light turn green, I took the jump, I have let's say 3 cars by 80km/h, but now he begin to come back, and by 135km/h he was passing me! What the ****?! I have a 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA with a 305 TPI, auto transmission, 3.27 gears and no modifications at all... His car was manual, but man, I'm in shock... I beat my friend's GTA last week by about 4 cars and he have the same setup has me but with a 3.73 and a couple of mods but I think he made something wrong 'cause I rip him bad. Sorry for my bad english... I just can't believe it, and some people that know this guy said it was stock only the engine is rebuilt. My car is in very good running condition it runs like new.

 

Either you lost a cylinder during that race, or he's pretty heavy modded. The engines in those "bug" cars are a joke.

 

Eeeek?? I gotta agree with Cruz'N Bruz'R, My cousin has one of them with CAI and I have wooped her hubby in my brothers 86 LG4 car let alone a good running LB9.

No way that thing was bone stock. Bone stock with a shot of nawwwzzz maybe.

 

yeah definitely doesnt sound like its stock... if u see him again tell him lets race again but this time with your bottle off

 

I don't know, it sound pretty stock... I was in first until he was reaching the end of his 3rd. At that time he began to pass me. I will ask him next time if it's really stock he seems to still rexpect my car. He said he had an harder time beating Mustang GT than me. Oh well

 

Well you do have the peanut cammed TPI. They had one of the worst top ends for TPI cars.

I think it is funny that they are like 1.6L V6 in the MX6 or MX3. If he had a rebuild, he probally had a rebuild with forged parts and could have sprayed. I dont think that TPI falls so flat on its face that an MX3 just makes up 4 cars and pulls more.

 

Maybe it's not stock indeed. I need to find out 'cause I don't feel right gotting beat by a MX3 V6... I beat lot of Honda Civic SI modified a little and other cars but I can't beat a Precidia lol. Well, in the end he got me so I should admit he have a faster car than me. But it's frustrating

 

definately modded. i killed a kid that goes to my school that has the 2.5 v6 mx-6 by a lot. i mean, he had no chance. i'm to believe this guy had nitrous.... a BIG shot of it.

 

Wow, nice lookin ride man! I'd say he's got more under the hood than he is saying. But, if he wasn't a ***** about it, just ask him and see what's up.

 

you gots a fly ride dawg!!!! But ask the jap crap driver if he put any extra mods.

 

Naaws, deffinetely Naaws. I got beat like that by a Prelude. We got on the freeway at the same time, I was in 3rd doing about 100mph and he was a good 100feet on back of me. All of a sudden this car flies by like I wasn't even moving. I have to admit, for a moment I felt like something was wrong w/my car. I figured it had to be Naaws. He went by me at at least 130mph.

 

lost a cylinder? how bout the frickin block!!! and even with nitrous, no way he pulled on you.. I have seen civics running naaaws and ran a 15.5, so thats a big ol shot if he was juicin. you sure that you hit the pedal on the right, not the left? maybe its different in canada? ahhh that sux man...

 

WaOnFiRe,

Is that picture your actual GTA? I think i've seen it somewhere before, that car is mint.

 

the 88and 89 had the biggest cams in TPI's....AARON

 

no way, all 305's got the same cam unless they got the 5spd untill 91-92, then i think all 305's got the big cam. 88-89 still had the penut cam

 

very true, im thinking about the L98's because the 88 and 89 L98's had big lobey cams....AARON

 

Yeah don't worry I know where the pedal is, and trust me, it was to the floor! My car is in mint condition, I have run against one of my friend with a 305 TPI 1988 GTA automatic and I was passing him like he was standing still... And he have less mileage than me! So I think my GTA 305 is running like it should...

 

i think maybe you should ask him what motor he has under the hood.i have a 94 mx3 gs(1.8L v6) and a modified 92 mx3 with a stock ford escort gt engine and tranny in it..and the little 1.8 L four cylinder escort motor can make that little mazda haul way better than a stock v6.both motor have the same mods and both have been rebuilt.and clearly a stock v6 isn't enough ot beat any good running v8.but..there is a stock mazda motor that can make the little mx3's run a good 13 on the quarter mile if they can get traction.maybe check to see if he has the KLZE.then you wont have to feel so bad.

 

Did you accidentally pull back on you're emergency brake when you nailed the throttle, thinking it was the shifter....? j/k

 

This thread is really old, why did you bring it back from the dead?

 

And it also has a lot of retards who've posted in it.
