Yeah, it sure sounded to me like the intention was to keep it on the track. I just mentioned the track as a reminder. Now apparently the challenger is a bit unbalanced.

X 944 X, run away. You don't need to race this idiot.

Danno's spot-on here. Lot's of arrogance in the German car community. We can argue about relative age of the cars, costs, and a million other things, but there are many Japanese cars that are pretty exceptional.

A 60-100 mph test between the two cars would be interesting to see.

The Integra will win every aspect of a straight line and more than likely anything on the track.
Your car chirps second and third gears? Two questions: How? Why?

what do you mean?? how? well when i hold out to 6k, then shift, it has enough power to keep spinning (second does, now third just chirps for one sec then catches) btw i have 16" fuch wheels w/ yokohama tires (avid series) that are pretty nice, so im not spinning crap rubber...

and what do you mean why? maybe because i drive it a little bit hard to see what it could do... ive owned it for 5 years, and have changed everything on it to make it the way i want it..so i needed to test a few things out

Better to keep 'em wondering if he could beat u or not. 944's are a classic cool car no reason to prove or not who's faster, it's always better to stay out of a fight if you think you could lose. But that just my opinion. And I use to own an Integra gsr, Talon turbo awd, probe gt turbo, and the 944 is the funner car to drive, just hate to always spend money on it, but o-well said enough, need to go bleed my slave cyl. so I will have a clutch.

My friend's '97 GSR Puts out around 200 HP... it's pretty quick with a high rev limit... I wouldn't race one in a 944NA.

Actually, the smart person trys to stay out of any fight and only does so when they must. Any fight to save face is stupid.

I agree- the smart person TRIES, but... There are situations when you're better off fighting, even when you KNOW you're going to get your *** kicked- I'm a slightly smaller guy & I've never backed down to a serious fight- never REALLY thought I was going to LOSE either, although in retrospect, I would have lost some of them BADLY had they ALL gone down- I earned a ton of respect for that too, for whatever it's worth- & what IS it worth? Well, in certain situations, people who WILL stand up wont get messed with- why? B/C BULLIES are WEAK people & only pick on sure-things... I've found that, the few times I "let things go" just to stay out of trouble, hurt a LOT more in retrospect than standing up & saying "Go fu** your mother!" & seeing what happened- EVEN IF the fight WOULD have surely occured & I WOULD have had the shi** beaten out of me- MOST physical scars heal relatively quickly... Don't get me wrong, I think fighting is pretty stupid, but....

In ANY event, we're not talking about a real fight here & we ARE talking about situations where INNOCENT people could be hurt by a F&F ricer wannabe who for some reason see's a Porsche enthusiast as an excllent way to prove himself, DESPITE the fact that HIS car probably cost him 4-times what the 944 cost our RL brother, AND, is ~a decade & a half NEWER! WTF!? This guy's got a few probs & nothing's going to be solved by racing him, especially in a way that could jepordize you & others... Tell him that while he's busy jacking off in in his Integra telling himself he's hot & worrying about how many cars he can beat & can beat him, that YOU'LL be enjoying your car for what it is & concentrating on more important things... This guy's an ***....plain & simple... Of course, it WOULD be pretty funny to blow his doors off- do you know anyone w/a 951 the same color as your's? If so, beg them to borrow their car (they can ride along of course) & cover up the Turbo emblem- of course, you'll want to do it ONLY at night so he doesn't notice the subtle difs- just make an appointment, get there, & do it FAST- if he gets out of his car, even, tell him "WE race RIGHT NOW or not at all- I don't have time for BS- I'm running late for an appointment already- I've got JUST enough time to blow your cocky doors off & that's IT!" Then, the race starts, you walk him off the line, grab 2nd & show him tail lights, grab 3rd, hit the emergency blinkers & let off- you'll never have to break ~80mph & he'll go home wondering- of course, even this guy will probably know something's up, but, most people can't tell the dif b/t a NA & a 951 anyway... What color is your car anyway? INT & EXT? Where are you- Baltimore? PLENTY of 951's in your area.... Hell, for a few hundred $$$ I would take the, there & back, 14hr trip...

Geo, why would you post my quote. You got Robby all worked up! It was an analogy, and it appears you have quoted a few people in this post. It almost seems like your picking a fight, but that would'nt be smart now would it!
