RE: Race Match-Ups
I think that the GS-R would take you, but not too bad. The Audi would be a good race! It's quicker down low, but you've got it at high speeds ..... but then again I'm using my car for comparison since I've raced a 1.8T and it was pretty close. IDK how our cars would compare since you have more power, but I have race tuning and bolt-ons.

RE: Race Match-Ups
The only reason I ask is because I know someone at school who has a GS-R. I've looked up some 1/4 drag times for both cars and the Accord Autoand GS-R are right around 15.5-15.7 range on the quater mile. I've seen a race between the Audi and Accord on the internet and the Accord won but I dont know if it was a auto or Manual. So...

I agree that they'd be good races and in both cases, it could come down to driver error. What I put above are my predicted outcomes. As noted, I have raced the 1.8T A4 and it surprised me at how quick it is.

Bringin this back from the dead....
Well I just installed an Injen CAI, OBX 4-2-1 header, Megan Racing test pipe, and HKS Hi-flow catback exhaust on my 240sx today. Ive been getting the parts in over the last month. My car is definately faster and wow does it sound awesome. I'll post a vid of it and my Accord later(just got a camera)...
Staying on topic, tonight after I got everything installed I went for a test drive. I was on my way home and I pulled up to a87-91 Ford Bronco. He had his window down and I guess he heard my exhaust. He pointed at me and then pointed straight ahead. So when the light changed we went for it. We stayed even up to about 40mph and then I pulled away....I slowed down once I hit 65mph and he was pissed and flew by me doing atleast 80mph[8D]
I dont know if he had the straight 6 or 300/302/351 but I dont think he gave it all he had. Made me feel good though...
