This is all abou honor bro. I will not be working solely on my sentra. I was thinking of buying parts for a 2003 Lancer Evo and then when it cames out, put them in. Or buy a 3000GT, Galant, or a 300ZX. I already have a very experienced mechanic who could help me out. All i have to do now is find the car, then aply the mods. Since this guy and his dad are pretty good, it will be an ever satisfying action to defeat them, besides, they had built another pretty damn fast mustang, I saw it, but the guy had a baby, blew the tranny on his old mustang and decided to sell it to accomodate to his larger family needs. But now he wants a fast car again, and he aint holding anything back, but I will defently try to build a faster car to finally put a plug on his pie hole, cuz i dont want to hear how domestics are better than imports. I'll show him wrong. I'll keep you posted of which car I buy and the mods in it. I will most defently try to buy a 300ZX though. Cuz i just love Nissans.
hey if he's going all out with that kind of money then i don't think it's a competition of import vs domestic but more like who has the most money. tell the guy to race you in his pontiac like you originally said and you shouldn't have too much of a problem with him.
the only thing i can think of that can save you if he goes w/ the camaro is maybe a SR20DET majorly built... ($$$), just depends on how much money you want to lay into it.
for about $1500 you can go with some good i/h/e, advance timing, pulley, maybe even some jim wolf cams. that sould run you close to 30+hp even up to 50hp if you go with JWT ECU as well. that will make it an easy kill
no way... not for 1500. bolt ons help but they aren't the final solution to all power needs. even with EVERYTHING they have now with the ecu you get 42hp gains at the top end and that's only cuz you cut the limiter.

I think we all need to know how much money your willing sink in to it, so we can help you.
You seem to have a pretty hefty budget so I thinking that for $9,000 you could have a kick ass, turbo, NOS that would have major ass.
But then again if your like me where that $200 intake would set you back a month of work then you got problems.

I think the guy backing out with the original car is BS..tell him..if he cant rep what he drives right now....buh bye...
i agree... imports are cool but if this fool is like going all out you'll never beat him. if you unload all your money into an import and he unloads it all into a domestic he'll win (if its a car like the camaro)... that's what they're made for, straight line, drag races. you'll have a very hard time catching him.

BS. If youve got enough money to buy a new car just for this race, then youve got enough money to build your Sentra into a winner. Manual switch, full weight reduction, fiberglass body, GTI-R motor, Nos helper. The rest is basic build up from there. Not only will you beat his Camaro, but youll do it in your original ride. Something he was too much of a puss to do.

Don't be scared of his Camaro.. 69' are nice but they aren't all they're cracked up to be. How do I kno? I live in the midwest, fucking hot rods and hicks all over. So us Midwest tuners take pride in spanking the breakin the big boys toys. My friend had a 69' Camaro SS, with a 454 in it. Headers, Exhaust (purple hornies), and a little bit of engine work. Anyways the best he could get out of it was low 14's. Then a drunk driver decided he didn't need it anymore. I say drop in a SR20DET (that's the turbo Silvia/JDM 240sx motor)into it with some nice goodies.
Even an average modded S13(that's the Silvia again) motor can run 13s. But you know what. Call him a punk. Tell him he's a turd. Cause his "super domestic powered" 4cyclinder Pontiac ain't shit. SO tha's why he's gotta get something else. Him changing his car to a decked out 69'Camaro. Is like you changing your car to a Supra or Skyline.. they're both the creams of the crop.
Oh yeah, he's getting a 350 to build cause they're cheap to buy and cheaper to build up. (aftermarket wise, parts are cheaper)And the engine is lighter than a 454block. If he builds it up and puts a Blower on it(a supercharger)...it's going to be very fast.
There is a difference in class. I can't believe you accepted him changing cars!
I agree with everyone else: call him a puss for pussying out of the original bet. Also tell him that if he want's to play that way, tell him to race his Camaro to Hong Kong while you take a plane. Whoever gets to the airport first wins. :P
Or ask him to race his Grand Am 4 cyl. with your spankin' new GTR.
In either case, it just sounds unbelievable that you accepted his challenge! You can always challenge his car with a funny car that looks like an Integra.
