I took on a modded mazda protege EX modded with I/H/E and a short throw shifter
we started from a standstill..we both peeled off the line..but the protewge lost some torque after shifting into second..i peeled faster but gained speed faster, the close gear ratio's of the alpha helped dramatically.
I floored the beta for all it had and i was pulling away from the protege very quickly..all the way until 100MPH..by then he was 2 and a half car length's behind me..
but the dissapointing thing is that the beta kept cutting off at 100MPH almost as if it being starved of fuel or something..
i take it need to do something about increasing fuel right?
cutoff at 100 MPH in 5th and i still had 1000 More RPM's to play with.
Dammit!!

I raced that thing right there (notice the toy car, these pic's where making fun of the place that sold it before I raced him). 2.0 5spd I/H/E. The funny thing I wasn't really even in the race at first. It was that vs. a civic hatch with the SOHC vtec motor swapped in. The civic beat it, then it was passed by a DOHC saturn with an auto I/H/E, then before I even got into third my elantra passed it. I had started 3-4 car lengths behind everyone else. LMAO. SOOO funny. I thought maybe the kid messed up. So they try again. Same thing but this time he hit the brakes before I could pass him.
