Have you guys ever raced anyone? If so what did you race and did you win or lose?

 

The box isn't really made for racing, fun to drive but not very fast. I can out corner a lot of cars!

 

Tip for the future, dont buy a car with less than 100hp and expect it to be fast...

 

Race, everbody wants to race a toaster, especially when you got rims, your lowered and you have an exhaust. Im pretty stupid, so i'll race anything for fun, just to see how our 100hp cars can or cant hang. I have won quite a few and lost a few, but when a WRX STI rolls up on you and revs his engine to race and he woops you(have personal experince on it) it reminds you how much power we really dont have, well atleast until i bolt on my supercharger. But if your gonna race your gonna win some and loss alot, so becareful have fun and dont take it to hard if you lose. Oh and by law i must state, street racing is illegal, LoL.

 

SmokingTires by the way I wasnt expecting to be fast I just wanted to hear some stories.

 

my xA handles pretty well. i went to an scca solo 2 yesterday, which was really fun.
my first run i had a volunteer instructor (huge guy!) and i was incredibly nervous, so i have no idea what i got. second, third and fourth: 68s, 66s, and 63s with no cone ownage.
dunno the exact times, but they should be posted soon (i hope). i can post a link, when it becomes available, if you like.

from the times that i heard, low 50s were the best with the worst being 70s and up.
these cars aren't muscle cars.
they ain't fast.
but put them in autocross, and they do pretty well against intimidating cars. there was a guy in a red vette who was more experienced than me. he got at least one 68s and hit cones more than once.
tons of people tore up the cones and/or spun out.

 

So I will agree they can handle like no other but racing 0-60 you should be in a category below honda civics...

 

Good one...

 

I've raced a few cars and I get off the line pretty good. I've won against a focus zx3 and a celica gt. but I've also lost to a mazda 3 wagon. I can stay up with most cars still about 80 and then it takes forever to get anyfaster.
