MazdaSpeed Protege, but this wasn't straight line...we did it at the old road course in northern MN that's abandoned. I killed him, but it was mostly thanks to my car having really good handling. Plus, he considers me a better driver than him, so had I been racing that same car against a skilled driver...it might have been different.
Straight line, uhm prolly a Golf 1.8T. The only turbocharged car I've ever beaten.

Best car i have beaten was a was a Honda S2000 but i was in a RSX typeS turbo
It was a good race i beat him by like a fender. My dad brought one home from his car dealership and let me drive it for a couple hours. Some guy traded it in for a RX-8

Tonight I beat a supercharged mustang. Until 42 mph. Then it won.
Then I beat a newer end mazda (didn't catch the model) until 47 mph. Then it won.
Further on through the night, I beat a 300zx, because it's driver didn't know what he was doing and kept it in first gear or some such crazy shiznaz, I had no business winning that and will not count it.
Then I beat a BMW, until 44 mph. Then it won.
The pattern continues.
Stupid 2nd gear. The end.

Dude, minivans are no joke. They have power haha.
Your ST model has 110 hp and 115 lb ft of torque.
A GT puts out 135 hp and 145 lb ft
Those are actually both decent numbers, as say, a Civic Si puts out 160 hp- but a pathetic 111 lb ft of torque (correct numbers? going off 99 year).
Simply put, our cars have excellent acceleration- but still not enough hp. Hence, why I beat the mustang UNTIL it pulled ahead at 42 mph. Until 42 mph, I was doing a lot better.

Are you sure the Mustang was supercharged? I came really close to beating my friend's automatic fairly-new V6 'Stang, but in third gear he pulled away from me.
If it was supercharged, chances are he probably had a really bad launch and didn't know how to drive his car well. >

Edit: By the way, the best car I've beat was probably my friend's lightly-modded Eclipse GS. Also, it was kind of cool that I beat a car that I saw on display at Hot Import Nights. >>

New Toyota project coming soon...
Beat an yellow Eclipse turbo with full kit and what not. Looked really nice...in my rearview mirror.

It's not BS, and it was certainly a surprise to me. To be honest, I wanted nothing to do with the race and (excuse me) was scared ****less by the sound of his blowoff valve, and the glow from his gauges. But he revved at me, so I said ok.
I don't know how I managed until 2nd gear, I don't know why. I could hear his engine (so I could hear he was trying), I could look over and see his headlights slightly behind mine(it wasn't like I was 3 carlengths ahead).
I was pretty sure it was super'd, because I could hear the blowoff valve as he pulled up to the light, and most mustangs I hear are super'd, not turbo'd. It's certainly a possibility that he was turbo'd, and was experiencing turbo lag.
Futhermore, one last thing. It wasn't like it was a GT mustang or anything. Regular, consumer mustangs that every mom and pop thinks they're the **** driving, don't have THAT much on us.
You'll also notice I didn't beat it, I lost the race, but I held my own off the line.
Or then, maybe Coom's right, and he just had a crappy lunch. I'm not trying to start an argument here, nor am I trying to jam bull**** down your throats.

Then he was, and I'm ok with that.

I remeber I tried racing my friends fully bolted up GSR (flywheel-pressureplate to im not listin all of them) I hung for the first 15 feet and then I got slaughtered it was not a morale boosting moment.
Mine was a 1997 Acura Integra, pimped out, might i say he did a good job! But with all that stuff it made him mad slow, we hit 100 and i smoked him we were on a 2 mile stretch and not to mention he was 17 with parents supporting his racing habits! >
> But anyways i was sure he was going to kick my a$$. haha looks like i was the man on top!!! >>

I have beaten quite a few type Rs with my GT4 and a few Imprezas. Haven't yet came across any Evos wanting to race.
By the way, I have beaten quite a few SS III and SS II 6GC that made the mistake to try to get by my GT4. All for fun though.
Furthermore, the best race i have ever had was with a Merc CLK230. I raced this a few years back with my JDM ST206 when he passed me in the highway and we were racing for more than 10 minutes at speeds more than 200 km/h.
The more enjoyable though was with a brand new BMW X5 4.4 ltr. I let him get to my side and then we both accelerated but he could not pass me.

Beaten -
BWM //M3
Tricked out Prelude
Various V8 mustangs
With my Turbo Celica the only car I ever lost to was a SVT lightening ala 390 HP
and that I believe was only because I had a really really ****ty launch.

No one ever had to waste any nawz on me yet. Sadly my slow car doesn't accelerate due to the fact that it is automatic and I am fat.
I've got an exhaust, CAI, and everything else is stock. Oh yeah and my custom made 100hp adding NAWZ sticker.
