Me Vs. Turbo Del Sol
Well, I'm on my way home at like 2 in the morning and i pull into an empty well lit wal-mart parking lot. I was fighting with my girlfriend on the phone and I can't drive and talk at the same time. Well, almost exactly after me and her got things smoothed away and i hung up the phone. I see headlights coming towards me, at first i was afriad it might be cops trying to get me for "criminal loitering". But, to my relief it was a del sol with two kids in it. He pulled up next to me and rolled down his window and asked what my car was. I told him, he smirked, and asked if I wanted to race. I said sure why not, he said hows 20 bucks sound cause thats all ive got. I had 40 on me, and i would have probably spent 20 dollars in sheetz anyway (i love their food). So, I asked him what all he had in there and what model his car was. It was a 97 del sol s, he told me a full 16 g turbo set up and an intake. He asked what I had and told him, an intake, full exhaust, ported manifold etc... neglected to tell him about the supercharger. Until he said is taht it? And then I started my engine, and when at idle or when your slowing down or driving slow, you can really hear the supercharger hissing. So he is like damn! This should be a nice race! So I followed him to the light, and lined up with him there, its a dead straight road , so when the light turned green, he slammed it, and spun his tires like crazy. I had the best launch of my life, and was ahead by 2 cars, then i heard his turbo spooling and going off behind me. He cut it down to probably about 1 car, and was gaining, i just stayed on it, and came out the winner by probably less then a car. Then we lined up rolling and talked, he asked if I wanted to go for double or nothing from 40 mph. I said sure, so, we slowed it down, honked three times, and took off. I got ahead of him quickly, but he was still on my rear bumper, then he caught up but I heard a grind, and he fell back. It turns out he missed 3rd. But I won 40 bucks, but that was a DAMN fast car. If you guys ever see a lime green del sol, with gunmetal rims and a 200 lb. mexican guy driving it......i wouldnt mess with him. I'm suprised he caught up that quickly though, his car is really heavy while mine is not....musta been a damn good turbo set up.

I wanna know how you ended up winning 40$ from him when he only had 20$ on him to begin with? Also what are you running as far as boost? I drive a single cam turbo del sol and eat americrap cars for breakfast.

technically i didnt win 20 dollars.........see........if you add 20+20 ....that equals 40 dollars. Which means, i walked away with 40 dollars. Still with me?
Second, I am now running 12 psi. ALSO, if you didn't know, my americrap car, has a japcrap engine, a mazda mx-6 KLZE engine which is 200 base horsepower. And congratulations on beating mustangs, and probes with intakes and such, but this obviously wasn't his night to represent for the single cam turbo sols. |

what's he's trying to say is you said he only had $20 bucks on him, so how did you get $40 out of him?
as far as I recall, the MX-6 V6, which is the same as the probe GT V6, is only rated at 170 hp. |

Well, the J-Spec version of the engine (code: KL-ZE) is rated at 197-200 hp at the crank. The compression is pretty high on it, though, so I'd like to know what modifications were done to allow for 12psi of boost on that engine. Stay cool all, -Matrix |
