Beating a STOCK GS-T or GSX isn't anything special. Espescially a 2G. I can see wow..my nt beat a turbo...but then again your not NT anymore... Stock there peppy cars but by no means fast cars. I see a lot of the newbie guys setting your sites on GSX's GS-T's......but If I had a turbo kit I would shure as hell be looking for something a little more interesting to kill...like some V8 muscle. I'm sure there are a lot of guys here that have mangled some GSX's or GS-T's. Just my .02

I havent had a chance to race a GSX but I have beaten many GS-T's. I think they run mid to low 15's stock. So with my car at 6psi I run all over them. I have also beaten quite a few mustangs.

Yeah, Derek is right.

A 200 HP car isn't going to be a big deal to beat with a turbo kit. My brother has a GS-T with some basic mods, and I smoke him. He's a pretty solid driver, so I usually have to wait until 3rd gear before I really bury him. It goes like this usually. With his smallish turbo, he usually gets slightly more pull in 1st, I start walking in 2nd, and in third, I go by like he's in quicksand.

Usually, the cars that'll give us more problems are anything with more than 250-260 HP. Stock Mustang GT's (1999+) are usually a good challenge that could go either way depending on driver skill. An LS1, LT1, WS6 will probably beat you fairly well without upgraded internals and some high boost.

Domestics (and super imports) are usually the main cars you need to shoot for though. Any import, NOS or not, will typically be an easier kill.
