Heh, a turbo D series engine with stock internals would give you 180hp 170 tq if tuned correctly at 8 lbs of boost. A stock Z has 300hp 260 tq
Ouch... That's definitely not something to brag about...
Although it is fun to occasionally whip the hell out of a car with a little over half the horsepower of your own. That's how you make a driver cry...
and im sure you've done this?
Well, he didn't cry, and mom's car has less horsepower, if I remember right. Wasn't a race though. Passing and leaving somebody in the dust is good entertainment on occasion. He didn't catch up though... I'm about to post a thread in the "Tranny Talk" subforum about just what mom's car can handle...
Johny: "i beat a veyron!!!!"
Danny: "did he know you were racing?"
Johny: "well no, but..."
Dude! I've so taken down Corvettes, Mustangs, even police interceptors like that! Course, the police interceptors were always right on my ***.
Never had one on my ass. I almost passed one sitting in a parking lot once. My mom was like "OH QUIT! SLOW DOWN! COP!" I was going about 20 over on a city street... on a learner's permit. Can you say "Arrested"?
That would've sucked...

No, but 318_tC on ScionLife has a tC that put down 454 HP not too long ago, and he's still running the same engine. New rods and pistons, turbo, and a whole bunch of mods, but it's still a tC.
