So there's a kid talking ****....

**drewhanover** · 01-04-2013

This kid at a rival school has been talking alot of **** about pontiacs, and especially my car. He drives a 2001 Olds Aurora with the 4.0 northstar.
My question is this; If i race him will i be able to win? it seems to me like he only has 10 more horses but 300~lbs heavier and 20 less torques.
Can i shut him up and should i throw down some cash?
Note that i am a stock '97 GTP Coupe on stock tire sizing.

Aurora:

0 to 60 mph 7.6 sec
1/4 mile (E.T.) 15.9 sec

GTP:

0 to 60 mph 6.5 sec
1/4 mile 14.7 sec

throw some stickers on first

**DanPrixGTP** · 01-04-2013

You can take the Aurora.

Just dont punch it right away, youll get wheel spin and could cause a loss.

Ease into for a sec, then punch it.

**Iceman6669** · 01-04-2013

Even with a little wheel spin he should be ok... Wheel spin wont ALWAYS cause you to lose....

**drewhanover** · 01-04-2013

Should i shift through 1,2,3 and then D or just leave it in drive and ease into it?
Also, by no means do i think my car is a racecar. Parentals didnt want me going the modding route, so i went for aesthetics route

**Iceman6669** · 01-04-2013

if you are going from a dig then just go from D

**drewhanover** · 01-04-2013

Cool. I'll do best 2 out of 3 and some buddies will record. Will post results tomorrow!

**Matt Palm** · 01-04-2013

make a intake for sound purpose only and some see better mpgs out of it. i went the same way so did dan dont worry. if your goin from a dig id say just drive from a roll downshift to 2nd

**drewhanover** · 01-04-2013

Holy **** i should murder him then lol. I know that he doesn't know how to drive and will just floor it as soon as the arms are dropped.

**PontiacL32** · 01-04-2013

You should win, all his power is top end and slow off the line. I would just leave it in D unless you'll be down shifting from 4th gear.

I will come back tomorrow and there better be a video here.
Do not disappoint me.

What this guy said.

**DanPrixGTP** · 01-04-2013

and yes, thats the 4.0 Aurora specs.

**drewhanover** · 01-04-2013

OP will deliver! just probably not till later in the evening

**Scottydoggs** · 01-04-2013

my brother has a Aurora, and its pretty snappy, i never drove it, but have been a passenger, it chirps 2 nd gear pretty nice, and its all stock. one of these days maybe we will line em up and run em.

**DanPrixGTP** · 01-04-2013

The 4.0 aurora isnt a bad DD

But the GTP should definitely have it off the line

my bud had a 97, seemed to go pretty good but the compg Prix was quicker,
then again he had the speed crippler non-autobahn
after like 105 it would pull back
if you can stick the tires,you'll nail him with the blower
