never heard of it. I have only heard of a gtech, and it's just a device used to measure things like hp, quarter mile time/speed, etc. Could that be what he was talking about?

oh ok so its just a type of moter... gotcha thx man....

well another quesion who do you think will win...??

( i have a felling its going to be me... but he been talking about his car and im starting to think his migh not do so well at take off but win at the end...)

i think its ether 94 or 96 ford focus... a 4 door sadan.... no mods which is an auto....

mine is a 89 mr2 na that is a manual... and im pretty good at take offs when i race... only burned out once..... i pretty much have a genaral idea of where my power band is... 4000-6500 rpms..... (is that righ mr2 drivers??)

This should turn out in your favor...your car does not have that much less HP...and weighs a lot less! Plus your a stick they are an auto! Unless its a SVT focus your not in trouble

i think it'll be closer than you guys think. The focus has 25 more hp and doesn't weigh that much more.

Focus is fwd car though... while the mr2 is rwd, which will give it advantage

with cars with that little hp, FWD/RWD doesn't make much of a difference.
