Lancer vs. Protege 5 Results

a friend of mine has a new lancer. so i told her lets go at it see who's got more power. so we go drive off to a road and start off in 2nd. take off on her, of course i take a nice lead but she kept up pretty good i was surprised. also i had 4 people in my car she had one. i got her ticked off a little cause i was nagging that my car was faster then hers. anyone else race a lancer??

I am reposting a thread I started awhile ago. I got ALOT of flak for it, so please, let's not all rehash that. I am merely posting to describe my lancer kill.


I thought this was pretty cool, so I had to share it with you guys. I was on the highway the other day, clipping along at about 70, when a new Lancer with an exhaust system and rims starts coming up on my ass hard. He weaves lanes, and goes by me.

Now I am in my P5 w/ my girlfriend, and I look at her, and say "He's Done!" ... She rolls her eyes. I step on it, and catch up to him, about 85. I switch to the right lane, which he proceeds to change into as my front fender is at his rear door, so I swerve on to the shoulder, drop it into 3rd, and mat it. I could hear him downshift too, and his exhaust gets really loud. I pass him out, and am losing him by almost 4-5 car lenghts by the time I take the exit (at over 120). He gets off the same exit, and pulls up to me at the light. I was laughing my ass off, and he says to me "what the **** do you have in that thing?" I tell him "2 liter .He just starts shaking his head, and says " No but what's in it, I say "stock!". Still shaking his head he was like "damn, that's crazy" I laughed my ass off.

Made me feel good, and thought that you guys would like to know that our relatively heavy & with 2 occupants (compared to a Lancer with just the driver) is definately a performer in the NA SCC scene (Civics, Lancers, Neons, etc.). And he had an exhaust and most likely an intake pipe by the sound of it, and mine is as stock as the day I pulled it off the lot (even the dirty airfilter that was in the car when I bought it, I know, I need to change it!!) I love this car!!!
 
Kool....good stories, man. :)

I killed one in the miata last year. A friend of mine got the OZ "racing" edition. By the time I reached 100 he was about 5 car lengths back. granted, his was auto.

I love Mazda!
 
That's nice and all, but I really wouldn't be bragging about Lancer kills, guys. As far as I'm concerned we're "above" the current US Lancer. If someone beat a Stang or an RSX, I'd say brag. But a 120hp lancer? Bah.

true. Okay, I did get the kill on an RSX in the miata. Happy now? ;) Seriously, though-I did. He was kool about it too, he didn't get all pissy and do a ricer fly-by. :)
Oh, and it was by about a car length.
"It don't matta if ya win by an inch or a mile..."

Now that's worth mentioning. Good kill!

gaaaahahahaaa!! No. I wish. If she was, the RSX would have been major toast!! I know, I know--everyone thinks stock miatas are slow. It's really just that the people who drive them don't push them.

I have kept up with a 96GT Mustang from light to light before. Shocked the sh*t out of him...

Another funny story is a guy who had an SC v6 Camry--We started at a light on a highway, and he did not lead me by much till we had to slow down (~100). We got back to the parking lot and he asked "What do you have in that??" I smugly replied "It's stock. 125hp!!" That was in my '99 miata. ha hAAA!!!

My 2001 has 142. You gotta understand that it's a car that weighs 2300lbs too. HP/weight ratio is a key factor, not to mention the perfectly matched gears.

GOD, I love Mazda's engineers...
