there have been 2 races i was involved where one, against a 2.0L honda accord pulled away and i was on his back bumper, and another when i had her all the way to about 70 then she just crept by me. i dont really race alot so...my car is an 02 Lanos 1.6L i lost to them basically bc i just dont have the torque.

good try :thumbsup: and good kill :)


and to answer your thread tittle question: Is it a kill if its less then a carlength?

"it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, WINNING IS WINNING!"



:lol:

Less torque than a Honda? Impossible. :lol:



If they went past ya, then yeah It's a kill for them. But hey, it's all in fun. :biggrin:

dude, you should totally make your Daewoo a sleeper. Yes I mean this seriously. You'd get so many people to race you, unsuspectingly, and you'd own them thereafter. Just a thought. And yes, to reiterate what has been said already, winning is winning.

Less torque than a Honda? Impossible. :lol:

you know what races i love? the fender to fender races. i would sometimes lose by as little as a front bumper. but the people from behind thinks i won. but i'm not cheap like that and i tell them that i lose by a bumper.

I feel very fortunate. All the modded Hondas haven't touched my car yet at the track :) Then again my car isn't stock either (I decided to keep it, and now have a bunch of suspension goodies geared up for off the line acceleration). As far as winning is concerned, I think even an inch counts. That is just my opinion though. Heck my best races were with my slowest car (A N/A 87 MR2).

Nah. Gotta make it count.

personally I love close races when your going and your side by side and one person slowly starts creeping away gotta love it.

yeah my heart rate must have been about 190 after those races, lol. they were alot of fun. regarding the sleeper comment, when I told those two people that my car was a 1.6, their eyes almost came out of their sockets. :sly: its all bc of the weight of my car, ~2600 lb. i would love to make it a sleeper but cant bc:
1. its under warranty
2. its only worth like $4,000 (yes its an 02 worth 4G)
if i had the money to fix the car when it broke, id make it a sleeper.
the most i can really do if i wanted to is get a custom intake made, custom headers and piping all the way back, theres not much else i can do that i wont get bitched at about. :banghead: oh well. my next car will be the one i work on, in a couple years.

It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or mile, as long as your floor board doesn't fall out when you hit the NAWZ.

yeah ur diamond plate floorboard and the washers AND bolts just suddenly fly out and somehow a 2x2 sheet of steel manages to rotate end over end while under an Eclipse that is about 1" from the ground... i could go on for days.

where do you live? daewoo went bankrupt. your warranty is worthless. my friend has one and can't get parts. she knows people that bought them a week before and there car went to crap and now they are stuck paying 14K for a car they can't get parts for.

it suck big time

then again if your not in the US then your okay.

Oh man, I feel for you Alpha. I don't trust any starting company with a car, especially a Korean based car (Not that Koreans are bad people, but we all know what happened with the introduction of the Hyundai Excel). Basically you might as well take the $4K for it. Heck I can show you a Honda Civic DX you can buy for that much. Then just save up for a B16a motor. This post isn't meant to make fun of you, I just can't stand starting car companies that are financially challenged. The consumer will be hurt by them the most, not to mention the lack of aftermarket support. I lost $8K on a car once (Don't get me started on the Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo I once had).

It doesn't matter how far ahead you are, if you're ahead its a kill, plain and simple.

actually i just got back from my dealer. theyre ordering some new lights bc mine have moisture in them. which is my fault bc i put in new bulbs and tried to rip off the lens to paint them. but they dont know that and you also cant tell anyway. :smokin:
