samsuma...i have an I4 in my ex.....145hp stock.
And actually i raced one from a dead stop and he had me off the line easy but not before long i was catching up, but then he'd shift and would start leaving me, that went on till 3rd then we just quit.
I raced one going about 30, he was slowly, i mean slowly, pulling away but he me being a manual shouldn't change that, should it?
