I know that the xb isn't the fastest car around, at all, and I don't even try to race but I had an newer model saturn pull up to me the other day. It had the worst sounding exhaust, prob just a univ muffler. Anyways, mr. rockstar kept reving his motor at me so I figured what the hell. Long story short I totally dusted him with the few bolt on mods that I have. Just thought I would let ya'll know what cars we can beat with ours.

 

Just because it's a box on wheels dosent mean it wont get up and fly. Dont get me wrong everbody bashes our cars for lack of power, but i have a nice list of cars that i have smoked and a nice list of cars that have smoked me. It aint a rocketship but it sure is fun to drive.

 

I agree completly! I was on my way to trade in my box today(for a new truck)... kind of on a whim, and while I was on my way I was like damn this car is fun to drive and I sure will miss it... next stoplight I flipped a u-turn and went back home. All the bolt on's sure help this cars fun to drive factor.

what truck where you thinking about?

 

I am going from a massive truck to a box.

 

yea i would have to agree with everyone about the box being fun to drive because i cant drive well wont go anywhere unless i drive my box haha............as for speed i would say im pretty quick with the mods that i have now.............i won some and lost some

 

It is a fun car to drive. I'm looking forward to more aftermarket parts and hopefully some nice motor swap kits.

 

Here's a couple to add to your list and both cars were trying hard to race, 2000 Ford Mustang, and 1999 V-Tech Honda Prelude, oh yeah and there were three people in my B at the time for both, LoL, suckers.

 

Red Bull gives you wings!!!

 

Now your thinking outside the box......


Oh and i wont lie to you it was a 4-banger Mustang, but it was still a Mustang. Now fly box, fly. LoL

 

i have smoked preludes, v6 accords, mustangs, other xb's, a focus zx3, and a civic SI trunk model.... im sure there were more but thats the ones i remember for now

 

havent ran any mustangs or preludes but i have smoked an v6 accord, other xb's, xa's civic ex/ls/dx, crx with some kinda swap not sure which b series it was but i dont recall hearing any vtech but then again i cant hear any other car aside from my own the last car i ran i believe was an 99 civic ex with a kit and all that was from out of town i onlee ran him cuzz he was laughin at my xb just cuzz i had an exhaust but he wasnt laughin when he got smoked

 

lol you guys sure these other cars were aware that they were in a race when they got smoked?

 

in 2000 ford didnt make the mustang with a 4cyl only 6 and 8. They made them with a 4cyl for the last time in 93 if I am not mistaken. but I could be wrong.

 

Well damn you just brightened my day with this post, it was only a guess that it was a 4 banger. Hold on i think im falling over cause i got a swelled head now. Wow a box beat a V6 mustang, that sure is sad.

 

First, V6 Mustangs are anemic at best. Even supercharged they aren't much of a winner. The Mustang is a heavy car for that weak V6.

Second, as the owner of '98 Prelude Type SH, I can tell you that the owner of the 99 either wasn't racing or was asleep. Even the automatic Prelude would be able to beat up on a mildly modified xB. I don't even like my car that much, and can't wait to sell it. But I must say that the last generation Prelude does not drive at all like the car it is. It is big and heavy for the little inline 4 under the hood. But it performs surprisingly well. I have embarrassed quite few ego driven V8 owners on the freeway in that car. And yes, they were aware they were racing. You don't hit 120 and not be aware you are in a race.

Bottom line? Very few xBs in existence would come close to hanging with a stock Prelude.

 

Thanks for bringing me back down to earth RTon20s, LoL. I think the prelude was driver error, becuse he was trying. We raced three times, i won the first and the third, and he won the second because i was already stopped at the light and he rolled into it when it changed. But any ways,no matter what it is still a box. Oh yeah and wait to give the wife her present, i know i have a hard time keeping presents from my wife to, im sure she will like it thou.

 

i love getting soccer moms all upset when i rev my box next to them, the kids in the back always encourage the race. id say its 1/2 the time they take the bait . i remember there was a 06 oddesy or whatever actually smoked me . i didnt race mini vans for a while after that.

 

LOL. Those Odyessys are actually pretty damn quick

 

Oh man thats good!
