My car is a 92 rs auto, and its quicker than THAT.

I know, these cars are slow, but still, I beat my buddies CRX with an Integra LS motor.

It looks like whoever was driving that wasn't puttin the petal to the metal... You know??

Anyone else know what I am talking about? Or belive me? :shrug:
I was manually shifting the car and flooring it to 6000 andshifting lol thats what i was doing, that is my car and that was at sparta years ago when i first started off in the import scene and man was that car slow. It was a 1996 base model with 17" motegi mr7's and that was it. The best time that i managed to get out of that car was 19.2 lol. I sold it the next week after that track day b/c i wanted to get a real import car with more potential, although i did love that car and it was my first real car at the age of 18 so now at the age of 22 iI have owned the 300zx which andrew has spoken of and now my current car - 1995 Mitsubishi eclipse gsx (awd turbo) and this is by far my favourite car that i have onwed and the fastest to. I loved the mx-3 and would defiantely own another but it would be a manual with the klze swap and a nice turbo setup on it, but i have been corrupted by awd and rear wheel drive so i doubt i will ever own a front wheel drive car again, too many traction issues with fwd even with drag radials. The mx-3 is an awesome car and i have the most respect for those that like to take these underdog cars and make them fast, i would rather see a fast mx3 than a fast honda due to the sheer imagination and innovation that it took the owner to make it that fast with very little aftermarket support.. maybe one day i will own a nother mx-3 and make it a sleeper but for now i am having way too much fun with my eclipse so good luck to all of you guys and man i never thought that that video would ever be posted lol

In my friend's 4cyl DOHC on 17's Automatic, I did 20, yes, 20.009 :crying: I was so ashamed. THe kid who gave me the slip was even laughing at me. No wonder she didnt want to drive it on the track.
i guess you should have test driven it before you ashmed yourself to death
