    Anyone Raced a Zx2??

    My brother has a 1999 zx2 and keeps bragging how fast it is.....any one raced one before....couldn't find any post on it....I know he has a DOHC 2.0 5speed, and I have a 1.8 SOHC 5speed...just looking at the engines says he will beat me, but who knows....when he gets down we shall have to see....

    If you've got the BP (which I assume you do) then it'd be a fair race, he's only got 127 hp (vs. 122) and I would think his car is heavier. So it probably boils down to driver skill (I like to say racing is 25% car, 75% driver)

      he has the dx SOHC, more then likely you will lose, unless he sucks and misses most of the gears.

          I know he has more pull in 1st , but his 2nd and 3rd don't feel as strong as mine...I do have the SOHC, but I have a bp out of a 91 that I am rebuilding now...anyways..seems to me that it might be close, just have to see....

              1st gen Bp's have 125 hp
              2nd gen BP's have 122.

              I don't see the sohc winning off the line. If you had a BP I would think a little different.

                        a slightly modded zetec can run pretty good w/ a z24. i had a Z, and zx2's kept up good. a dx wont win, and a BP would have a better chance.
                        i hate being broke!

                          I've beaten a zx2, but it wasn't a straight-line race...

                            Man, I would probably tear up if I lost to a zx2.
