Hey Onefine, already finding new people to talk .... to, lol. At least your racing them in the trans, instead of the TBI mobile... Anyway, my mom has a probe GT the 93' year which is the fastest year, and my iroc is SO MUCH FASTER, they are not even comparable. Youd beat him pretty bad... but i will give the probe some credit after 50 mph, cause when you floor it, you can hear the engine just start sucking in gobs of air and it really takes off..... But you should beat him pretty bad. I read on a probe message board that the automatics run low 17's.

Low 17's for automatic Probes? What year are you talking about. I am not familiar with Probes at all but these days 4 banger sedans run mid 16's and a "sporty" car like a Probe runs slower?

On the message board i went to, all of the automatic probes (most of them even had stupid Sh*t like AOM COLD INTAKES, and stuff) and they were running low 17's high 16's.... Now the manuals were a different story!

Onfine, buddy i just want to let you know that Probe Gt's are actually Mazda Mx3's so if that **** Probe has a big a$$ whale tail and some ch!nk letters, your Tbi might be sweating some 10w 40 your other car should be capable of dusting it but i guess it all depends on the driver
