My friend has a 1996 integra with cold air intake and a 5 speed tranny. im running a 1992 camaro RS auto stock. He wants to race me but i dont want to race unless im sure i can win. Im getting ready to drop in a new engine, so should i wait to race him after i drop in a 350? or do you guys think i can beat him with a stock 305?

Thanks!

not only does it depend on the car..it depends on the driver. so i think. if u kno how to drive ur maro to the fullest. u should have him. i might wait till after tho. just to be sure

alright thanks man, i think im gonna go for it and race him now. ive driven in my fair share of half assed street races so i think i should be able to take him

is it a gsr or just a gs/ls? I ask cause a vtec motor driven hard is pretty quick. I had a $300 1.5 liter vtec civic winter beater that could keep up with my friends fox body when I drove it like I stole it.

Was his fox body a 4 cylinder?

I kid...haha.

Just race your friend's integra. Since you're friends, you can laugh about the outcome later. If you lose, do a rematch after the engine swap, if you win, help him build up his car (or direct him to the right path of owning a thirdgen) and rematch him. That's what I would do. Now if only I had a friend...that wants to race, haha.

i know for sure its not a v-tech so i dont think i will have a problem. Haha ive been telling him to buy a thirdgen for years now but he likes his tuners. thnx for the advice guys

Vtech isn't really anything to be afraid of, even if he has it.

GSR should be able to beat a stock auto tbi car pretty easily provided the guy can drive. Those are solid 15 sec cars.

An LS would probably be a good race though.
