Realistically I have no idea who would win in that race because I don't know much about cars.. that's why i'm apart of this forum.

I think it would be sweet to watch :) But in all seriousness I've got a 3.8 5 spd pushing 200hp

(A much needed upgrade from last car that was a 90hp lawn mower engine Mits. Mirage

.. Good gas milage tho.. Ya it blew) But with if I put CAI, headers, and exhaust realistically how many horses is it going to add. I know the manufacturers inflate the actual amount of hp so does anyone know what that'll do for me?

V6s dont respond well to mods thats the only problem. If u want to squeeze every little bit out of it. do what the guy before me did to my camaro. He put a 4 stage tune in the computer and some chip. he was gonna give me a mod list but forgot it.. anyway right now its tuned at the 2nd stage giving me 400horses to the wheels and 20mpg if i dont drive like Paul Walker. Its also got catless 3inch exhaust going back to a racing muffler. Its got a performance MAF and sensors and a bigger Throttle body... not to mention a racing tranny, posi rear and posi bars.

Edit: Oh yeah and i forgot the real killer, ported heads... kinda a biggie lol..

well looks like i have to do some mods to my car so i can beat this dude. I used to have the fastest car at my school now i don't.

I hate it when some people can just wake up one morning and be like "ohh i am gonna buy a car to day" and goes to a dealership and hands the people cash. WTF?!! I really hate that. of couse i kinda did that. lol I am just kinda peeved that he goes and buys a car that can beat mine. again i guess i need to make mine a stoker and put headers and heads. lol. I wish i had that kinda money.

most people in my area arent the rich "i want to buy a car today" kinda people, yeah we go those, i live like 5 min. from duke university and hospital, so you got the rich ass doc.'s that live round here, and there kids get anything they want when they want, both my parents work at duke, but no where near rich, only reason i got my car, is from part of the money grandma left me when she passed, but ive worked my ass off all summer long and still workin, so i can get me a v8 or somethin with a lil more push and go, but i think if you can say i paid for that car and its mine, no matter if its a lil 4 cyl geo tracker, you should be proud of what you did on ur own, no matter if ur the fastest or best at ur school or town
