Can a GTP beat a type R cause i know the other day a type-R tried to race a GTP supercharged and finally they came to a stop light and as the the Person in the GTP heard the type-r rev his exhaust the type-r took off and all of the sudden the GTP smoked the type-r by 4car lenghs and turned his flashers on.??????????????????? :eek:
 
Here you go again. I am not going to call BS on this post however I really don't believe it. But seriously triton, are you trying to act like you are 6 years old? That wasn't the most captivating story nor the most detailed. Where did you see this? Did you even see it or was your friend with the GTP just telling you about it?
 
I have a Grand prix GTP and have toasted INtegras and yes even type R's on several occasions. TRust me. I love my MP3 but as far as acceleration and pure straight power, there are very fgew cars with 4 cyl. that can hang with the GTP and a ITR is NOT one of them. (I still like my MP3 better though, overall I mean.) :D :D ;)
 
Are you talking about the new Grand Prix with the supercharger? Hmm, I have a friend who has one, not sure what year but it is supercharged, and I have a friend who has a 2000 Type R with an intake and exhaust. They raced and the Type R beat the GP by about 2 cars in the 8th. I seriously doubt a GP can take a Type R without some mods.
 
Type-R is not design in drag purpose (so do our MP3), why stupid ppl like to drag them around? It kills the tires and the clutch. Damn...
:(
 
They aren't made for it but they can handle it just fine. The problem is that they are hard to drive fast. Most people don't even know how. I have seen Type Rs run 16s at the track even though they are capable of low-mid 14s. That is why I am not calling BS on this post because there is a good chance that a GTP beat a type R. I am calling out triton however. He writes like a 5 year old and didn't give any details. He does this so often and it gets pretty annoying.
 
Hmmmm. That could be IRES, I've never driven an ITR myself but I have been a passenger in one. Just speaking from my experiences actually racing them though. Haven't lost yet to one in my GTP and beaten them quite easily even. But the driver could very well have been a major factor. There are alot of dumb kids around here that don't know what the hell they are doing. By the way, ALSO from my experience: the GTP is a NICE car. Loaded with nice stuff. BUT.... after about 75 - 80 thousand miles on it, even after EXTREME care and pampering, it becomes HIGHLY unreliable and expensive to maintain. It runs awesome, but it's hard and costly to KEEP it running that way. That is why I have ordered my new 350Z and will NEVER buy domestic again unless it is an SUV or truck. just my 2 cents worth.
 
First of all:
GTP - 1998-2001 0-60: 6.7
ITR - 1998 0-60: 7.0; 2000-2001 0-60: 6.2

That being said, even if a 2001 GTP were racing a '98 ITR, it would be quite a while before the GTP could get 4 cars in front after losing off the line (assuming both cars had capable drivers in them). I'm not saying anyone is bs'ing, but the numbers don't really support the story IMO. There are a lot of missing details, but from what we are told...
 
I hate calling BS on stories because I don't think people would lie that much. However, triton just might. His story is rediculous so I doubt it is true. I believe that leonardo has beat a R or two. Drivers really matter in a japanese car because they don't have the massive power that american cars have. That is one reason I really like these little engines. It takes skill to achieve the numbers that they are capable of.
 
Hey InitialRes don't get heartbroken :confused: just because a ITR couldn't take a GTP Supercharged."""lol""" Actually it was my bro in the 98 GTP just messing around with his pal in his ITR. we were all leaving the base gate and as you leave the gate you have to turn 75^angle as his pal in the Type-R revved his engine turning the corner my bro in his 98 GTP flew like a jet already 4carlenghs ahead but only to 80mph from the stoplight. My bro has Underdrive crank pulleys, fuel injectors, and double twin flowmasters exhaust. His GTP is running low 14's. So technically i don't know if it would be a close race stock to stock. But they were just messing around with each other. The guy in the type-R bryan had aem cai and exhaust. But as for the comment of o-60 for the GTP it is 6.6 and the type-r's 6.2sec was experienced with pro skilled drivers i say with normal drivers a type-r will do 6.6-above. same as for the GTP. it was fun though. just wanted to see if everyone would go blistic, and insane. :o :D
 
I knew you wouldn't answer. I want to know because, no offense, but you don't write like a person that has completed high school. Honestly you write like a 6th grader. So how old are you?
 
another wonderful quote from tritonheat. Tell me. When you posted this thread, you left no details. It seems as if you made up the story in about 20 seconds and you watched the race from the side of the road. Now you know both the people in the cars. What color was this type R? What year? Why won't you state your age? Hell triton, you could lie (which you will most likely do) and no one would be able to tell. I think your brother probably has a hooked up protege and you think it is the s***. You are probably 12 and look up to him like his car is the best car on the face of the earth. Am I correct in any of this?
 
NO bro. I'm just messing with your head cause everytime i post a statement about something your mind gets twisted and goes totally into a different mode. I like messing with you cause it's ok your trying to protect the Type-R from getting beat it's just stop overreacting on the Type-R and thinking it's all that when it'll get beat. And no i'm not 12 and i don't have a brother that has a protege all hooked up and looked up to him. My protege is hooked up though and i do own it and it's not the damm fastest car there is, iv'e been beat by few to many cars. And that i've beaten a ITR, i don't give a damm if you or joe smuck don't believe me cause my buddy videotaped it and quit hating on my Protege. :mad:
 
You still didn't answer how old you are. And lets see pics of this protege. I can't wait until that weekend you are planning of. I want tons of pics and timeslips.
