"What cars (mainly stock) can the P5 beat? Just like in the other thread, let's start a count... "

Beat in what way? Like, stoplight to stoplight or......

[Coqui258]

Well yeah... either that you have raced before at a light or something like that... not cars that are being towed by a truck or parked of course!!! LOL

[anarchistchiken]

[prote5]

Ohhh........ Well, I know the P5 could beat all those cars, but I have never raced an Echo, Accent, Rio, or Escort...... Or the diesel VW's.......... but common sense tells you we would win...... We can add Lancer to the list then.... and older Civics (LX, DX) hmmmmm.............

NO SHIT? ME TOO! but it was a 1984, i was beating an old grand am from a roll til he sprayed :rolleyes:

i also beat a regualar lancer with some killer wheels on it, i told him id race him for the wheels and if he won id give him $800, good thing he didnt take the bet cause i won

[Coqui258]

Any others? I also would add an 18 wheeler truck to the list, but it wasn't fair since I had 4 people in the car. He had me by 1 car length. LOL

[chuyler1]

I can take my dad's ride on mower. . .

oh, and the Ice Cream Man...I ripped him a new one the other day when he was taunting me with "The Entertainer".

[Padanky]

Lancer!

[Equinox]

all of you guys! :rolleyes:

[Roywhitep5]

in the twisties, we can beat almost anything

[gabee]

OK, well add the '97 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L. It was a tie until maybe high 2nd gear, then the 5 took over!

That was a hard one at first!!

[jewelz007]

In what sense?? 1/4 mile? at a red light?

I've seen what the stock P5 can do at the 1/4 mile and its not pretty. The damn Focus beat it. That, my friends, was a sad day.

[gabee]

traffic light for me...

[FrigginGLI]

Mazda pickup trucks? B2000 and such.:rolleyes:

[acts]

add a modded 92 golf... I went and found that guy who kept revving on me when i had my family in the car today.. I was w/o them this time and kilt him. he flipped me off after he lost ......by a car and a half.

[CruzinAltitude]

Good thing we all love our cars, becuase that list isnt exactly long, or one to be to damn proud of. One thing is for sure, our car FEELS faster than alot of cars I've driven. My friends F-150 is faster but not NEARLY as fun to take off in.

[mikeyb]

You should put the year of the cars you beat. Like someone said Cavalier. It could be a 82 to 03 model. What year so we would know. Also what Cavalier is it? Z24 or LS Sport? The funny thing is when I was working at the VW/Mazda Dealer all the techs said that the TDI Jetta is faster then the P5. The New Beelte, Jetta, and Golf with the 1.8t is alot faster then a P5. Different story if they have the 2.0l. I'm surprised Sentra isn't on here.

[Eitel]

Can't believe you guys forgot to add the Yugo. :p

[mikeyb]

Yugo??? LOL

Metro
Suzuki Swift
Chevy/Geo Spectrum
Geo Tracker
Corrolla/Prizm
84-85 BMW 318i
Vibe AWD

[o.g.sk8er]

I beat some kid on his skateboard one time....

He was quick, though. lol

[PeaB0dy]

Toyota Tercel
Ford Festiva
The Kia badged by ford (was a hatch back)
anything from Kia (ok, the Rio and Spectra)
Hyundai Accent and Elantra (the Sonata with a 3.5 is fast..)
Cars parked in Parking lots
Old People
Ford Ranger / Mazda B2300 (even with the 4 litre V6, gearing is shit on those..)



In my B2200 I beat out a MX-3 with a V6 (1.8 litre V6, who'd thunk it!). I had a passanger too, but then the other guy coulnd't shit..

the protege wasnt designed as a drag car, it's got the best chasis,excellent steering,suspension...in other words it's a great handling car....and not a 0-60 car!

[akhilleus]

Hey we could always compare handling...best g's .79: P5 is better than a base BMW 3series...

[jaje]

[jjac28]

i have an idea...if you're terribly depressed and totally devasted that your protege only does 8.8sec to 60 then sell your protege, get a couple year old mustang and you have a car that will probably do 0-60 in the 6-7 sec range! (drinks)


but i'm sticking to my great handling and peppy protege(p5silver)

[Stealth5]

fuck that, mustangs are shit

[igdrasil]

Protege5s' are very cute cars, chicks like it at least thats what they say when I tell my ride.

In stock form, they are very fun to drive, eye catchers.

Mine is boosted, so now its even better.

[chuyler1]

That statement comes up alot...but unfortunatly no one can back up.

[Stealth5]

i dont like them, thats all the backing up i need, ive driven and ridden in several, very unimpressed

[shawnmp5]

lost by a cunt hair but that damn Enzo got the best of me today.

[PeaB0dy]

Their interiors look like shit, I have never seen such a dipressing interior to look at.

Ford has always had crappy interiors. My dad has a F-250 Lariat, and it looks crappy, all these cheap nobs, and shit placement..

Will ford ever get it right, who know's..

On the out side, they are just getting uglier and uglier too.

The only good looking ford I have seen are the European Fords..

No american car company can make a decent interior, the inside of a viper looks cheap.

I know it's about the ride, but you have to be able to enjoy the car completely. When you get into the car, you want to look at it, and go, this looks good, it's a whole package thing..

[P5LawnMan]

Chevy S-10 beat one this am. :D

so true, even my friends that got stuck with american cars realize all the interiors are crap, my friend has a 95 monte carlo and said every chevy hes ever seen has the same basic crap in it...good thing hes getting a wrx soon

[chuyler1]

Chrysler makes a good interior...

but we're talking about performance in this thread. If the Mustang had a bench seat it would still kick ass at the track.

[thackl]

The wrx is addicting from a performance stand point, but thought the interior was very cheap looking (aside from the momo wheel).

[anarchistchiken]

As far as the chevy interiors go, every single GMC and Chevy truck made in the last 5 years is EXACTLY the same. I was in my friends GMC Yukon XL Denali and we went to test drive an S-10 Xtreme and it was like the color of the hood and the height had changed. Nothing else at all. It was really freaky. But Mazda makes about the only good interiors of any economy cars. Even Toyota and Honda's I really dont like. But Mazdas.... damn. Especially the RX-8. With all them little triangle shapes in th seats and the dash. Maybe a little cheesy, but cool as hell.

its not too too bad, i like the fact that its so quiet inside compared to the p5, plus the seats are really nice

[mooS mooS]

THIS JUST IN:


Beat a '76 " LeCar "

Boy, did he want that parking space badly.... too bad I have better handles and just slid right in

Chrysler, give me a break..

My Neon looks better than a viper does on the interior, except the cloth on the seats..

All american cars are cheap big round buttons and nobs, and the layout is always crap..

I have bent my light switch so many times, the light switch had to be replaced too..

Too bad there are no Puegeots or Renaults in N/A (the new ones), they have the best interiors for their class, Mazda is up there. Toyota is well laid out, but too small, and I am 5'11" and honda has turned to shit.

my boss has a p5 and a his wife has a mustang. he complains when he "has" to drive the mustang. nuff said.

[ottawaP5]

it can beat a VW Westfalia!

[Coqui258]

Not to say that I beat him, cause I really didn't, but the other day, I did a lil race with my brother who has a 2002 VW Passat, with the auto-shift. On take-off, I did pretty well, like I was a lil ahead of him, and I stayed with him for a lil bit too! The P5 isn't THAT slow, it could keep up! I asked him if he was humoring me while he raced, and he said not really... that the Passat is really heavy and the power that it has goes into making it move.

It wasn't a kill or a win, but I still stayed with him (for a little)!!!
