Line up, and beat his ass. You'll beat him.

his car is heavier and the v6 will have a slower jump on the get go. he may eventually beat you in a long distance, but not at the jump.

that motor only has about 180 hp 200tq, weighs 3,000lbs, and is automatic.
booo

if you really wanna tear his ass apart get a vtec controller and race him on a shorter distance and set it to kick at 3000 rpm, but practice a few times before cuz it will cut out early, but your lude will tear away early as hell and he'll feel stupid

Who are you and where do you get all this great information?

I'm sorry...

I'm still getting a laugh @ the prospect of buying a vtec controller over a race w/ a ****ing Grand Am.

You're not getting a laugh at the fact he bumped a year old post to post that?

I'm laughing at the fact even if you set your vtec at 3000rpms, the car would probably stall or buck with it programmed that low. The "experts" agree you can only program it as low as 4000rpms, and that's even advised only if you have the modifications to support it (like forced induction).

The vtec controller comment gets a bigger laugh.

Yeah the VTEC controller is pretty funny.

I had a 2004 GrandAm before the lude, and I can say without a doubt the lude wins...having owned both...I've raced newer Grand Prix's and stayed nose to nose with them in the lude, and the Prix will smoke the Am any day.
