Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
ok so 14 psi is stock. if hes running 20, he's not stock. end of story.
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
Although at the same token, I've met some real "winners" that are managers at AZ(almost all the guys at my AZ are actually pretty good which is rare I know). Maybe this guy just bought a car that he just "thinks" is fast. Or he just "thinks" your car is slow. It's funny to me how many guys I've seen posting 1/4 timeslips and I'm thinking, "why would you verify that your car is slow". I currently wouldn't show my time slip to any ol' person I met on the street. Hoping to change that soon, but my car isn't fast.
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
what year is this eclipse? i probably would run him.
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
Yeah that's what I'm thinking it seems fishy but I can always do a hood up look first and if I see any mods just tell him 50
But I really think he thinks my car just sucks and slow lmao
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
hes pushing 20psi of boost. He might smoke you if he has flow mods. ported head? cant look for that. is it loud? Remember psi doesnt mean ANYTHING with flow.

The 20 is for his other car
And not sure on the eclipse think its a 90 something not the new body but the older style probably around a 95
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
I am the only one that thinks the idea of a 100 dollar race between a grand prix and a supposed stock eclipse is silly?
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
well, he does manage an autozone. Thats like a "g" to us normal folk.
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
my stock regal has beat my friends stock talon tsi. unless he is modded you should have zero problems. and the manager of my local autozone owns a sti a s2000 and a smart car. just sayin. they arent poor

A race is a race I normally never race for money but it came up at a time I do need money normally I race just for bragging rights more of a gentlemens bet not money

You can own decently awesome cars on a 50k budget, but you still live in a trailer.

I am wondering the same. I have run into many people over the years that think their car is fast because its a sports car, it feels / sounds much faster than their old car, they assume your car is slow because it is an "X", etc. I would verify before the race that it is stock and go for it.
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
either way. the gtp should walk a tsi/gsx
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
The manager at my local az drives a 87 dakota. They don't all have money.

That's what I'm thinking, he sees me coming in to fix my car so he probably think my car is a POS lmao?
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash

I think a GT would give a stock GSX a run for its money, stock its only a high 14 second car.
Re: a manager from autozone wants to race for cash
never know.Keep in mind he's putting cash on the line. At least look for a muffler. im telling you flow mods on a turbo car will tell you. ESPECIALLY with a turbo car.
