Default Raptor vs. Acura TSX

Ok guys, there is a kid at school who talks about how fast his rice burner is (2004 Acura TSX) and I was joking around one day and said that if I get a Raptor I will race him. He just laughed and said ok like I was kidding, so now I really want to race him, and beat him with a 4-wheeler. I was at the airport today with my dad sending my sister back home, and saw a magazine with the TSX in it, and the stock numbers are...

0-30 - 2.6sec.
0-40 - 4.3sec.
0-50 - 5.9sec.
0-60 - 7.9sec.
0-70 - 10.3sec.
0-80 - 13.0sec.

1/4 - 16.0sec. @ 88.8mph

Do you guys think I can beat that with a stock Raptor in the 1/4 mile? Thanks, Ryan

Not sure about in a 1/4 mile, but definitely you should take him until speed becomes a factor. My friend raced his stock raptor against a 5.0 Mustang and stayed ahead for about 200-300 yards. Have Fun!!!

Sounds good, at least then he can't say his damn FWD rice burner is the fastest thing ever... I looked around for 1/4 mile times for stock Raptors, and have found them in the 15.5's @ 75-77mph so I think I can at least be right with him at the end if all goes well. Thanks man, Ryan

So I guess I would be able to beat a 81 Ford 250, 351 4 speed? My buddy has one and all I hear about all day is how fast it is. It looks like I'll beat him? I just want to beat him and shut him up and rub it in his face, race will be from 1/8-1/4 mile, not exactly sure on distance but is not far,

Good, ill see if he will do the 1/8 mile, but he is one of those people that when you beat them they make up excuses, but I will still race anyhow. Just waiting for the 2004's to come out, and its on. He said he is getting it at the end of the summer, so I hope that its here in time before I move back to Texas.

Even if speed becomes a factor and the TSX wins, challenge this guy to a race at your local MX track. I don't think the Acura would last long....LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
