Thread: 97 Ford Danger Ranger vs. GTP Civic GSR vs. GTP

So my cousin was talking smack about my car........hes got a 1996 Ford "Danger" Ranger with a 5 spd 4.0. It's got an intake, true duals, and I think a chipped computer. My car was bone stock I'm really not proud of the kill but when we raced he was wot and I was just cruising half throttle next to him it was pretty sad. I also raced my friend with a 1995 civic eg coupe with a gsr swap. It was about a 25 roll or so whatever I let him get right before vtec so he would have an advantage and pulled alot of car lengths on him. My car is bone stock right now, but I have a DHP in the process of building a FWI, plugs, 180 tstat, and I'm about to sell my 3in. DP for some headers. Then hopefully it will be time to take down my friends charger rt.......maybe

Lol i totally "raced" a ranger on the way to school the other day. Idk what he was thinkig but i was driving along and he pulled up next to me and just stared at me and when i finally looked over he took off. I was like umm ok and passed him doing 80 just to show him whats up lol. At the next light he pulled up smiling and gave me the peace sign. I was confused but i guess made his day lol. Maybe he just wanted to hear the supercharger whine

Haha that's funny............I honestly expected more from the truck but it's all good. Hopefully pretty soon my car will be louder so I can actually appreciate the sound of the supercharger. I have heard s/c cobras and lightnings but never knew a GP could sound so good with a smaller pulley and an intake

Especially lifted with 38's

Lol didnt say it was quick at all. Just saying he started it........and i finished it.

It would be quite the sleeper and would sound awesome like all 302s or mustangs do

I think my friend had a 3.4 on his car

Yep zzp pcm, and hai. He sold it I'm sure it will blow up soon

if it hasn't already

lol i love rangers.. but honestly they're so underpowered.. its pathetic.

It is plus for a 3700 lbs truck and slighty over 200 hp you might as well be driving a sohc honda.

Yeah people don't realize a car can have a 1000hp but if it weighs 10,000lbs it does't really matter it's not gonna be fast. It is the good ol' thing called a power to weight ratio. By the way for the record..........anyone who owns a new Challenger RT they might look cool, but those things are turds.

YouTube - 12sec Turbo ranger build up.

not your normal ranger but the 2.3 has some pontential

That ranger was rediculous!! What a sleeper the only thing I didn't like about the video was the fact that he listed the price of everything like it was cheap than forget to price the turbo and sct tune, which probably cost more than the truck. I was also super surprised how the trans, drive shaft, and rear end help up. Then again we only seen one run down the track
