Rematch!
Ok, now earlier this year I posted about this kid who had this "heavily" modded GTI that was suppose to be the fastest thing at our school, well I beat that, so I have the title... Well he sold that and bought a 1992 Galant AWD Turbo'd.... Well once again he is wanting the title of fastest car at school... He has told me that when he bought it, it had some turbo work done and a bunch of other things.... Everyone I've talked to so far says this thing will destroy me... Yesterday I was talking to a buddy of mine that has one of the fastests cars in the county right now (a SRT-4), and he said I shouldnt have any problem beating it, he said it may be quick, but I should win..... What do you all think?

Is your car stock? Anyway, don't worry about it just race him. You could lose the title (doubt it) but at least you won't look like a Pu$$y for backing down. More than likely his "turbo work" never occured, he's just trying to scare ya.

I don't know why I have never got this coveted title. I have the fastest car in school and I haven't gotten a belt or anything yet 
. Just messin with you man 
. I would also like to know if your car is stock. Just remember don't let him fool you into racing a short 1/8 mile race because that would be to his advantage. Make sure it is a full 1/4 mile and just because you don't get him off the launch doesn't mean you wont win so don't give up. Good luck.

Those AWD Galants can be quick and tuff to beat.
I saw one at the track once and this middle aged oriental gent owned it. He had a trick custom 3" exhaust that ran the length of his car straight back. His turbo was upgraded and some other mods but for some wierd reason, he had trouble off the line. He was only running high 13s at best.
As said previously, just race him and do the best you can. Be safe !!!

My Galant ran 8.8 @ 77 in the 1/8th with bleeder valve. Stock everything else with 120k miles on the clock. Fun car, weird styling, extremely high build quality, bulletproof chassis since it was designed for rally racing.
Like any other car out there, it can be as slow as stock (roughly 15.50s in the 1/4) or as fast as you care to go:

Dang my school has a lot more then that and we only have 1000 people at the school. 9-12 grades. There is a guy with an STI but he can't drive it (no license) so we don't count it as a car at school. So for now it is a 2000 GT mustang with bolt-ons but it will be me when I get my car fixed and the shorties, y-pipe, and LT4 KM on.

In my senior year of high school only 2 or 3 people had cars, out of a class of about 60. Thats mainly because they were one of the few old enough to have a licence. (I graduated at 16 and in the Bahamas u get your permit at 17 and lisence at 18)

What's so surprizing about having a stock LT1 as the fastest car? Not many 16-18 year olds (age in which you're in highschool and with your license) who have something much better. My fairly stock LT1 is by far the fastest car at my school. However last year there was an 03 Cobra I believe... I can't say for sure.. he dressed it up and re badged it as a Cobra R.. but it does have a supercharger...
Anyway.. back on topic. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Everyone will tell you that you will get killed blah, blah, blah.. they say that because they don't know any better. They figure "tubocharged" it's gunna win.. and I bet very few know much about LT1's. I have people tell me that stock 89 5.0's will walk all over me

Well back to the topic, people are telling me that from 85 and on, I should have him, but before then he should have no problem... I'm not sure what all he said was done to it, but he himself hasnt done anything to it, he bought it modd'ed...
