BTW whoever said they didn't offer the 3spd in 99 needs to do some research, it was available in all 3rd gen 2.2 OHV's till the eco became standard....
Later kids,

Thank you.!!!!
Time slips? I'm not asking that to flame either of you, but there is more than enough BS posted on this site that comments like this won't hold ground unless proved.
Blown.
By the way, Skinny J, you don't have the 2.2 OHV like Mike Clemente does.
And the timeslips request still stands. If not, then this post has gone on too long (the original question of "is my car a factory freak" has been answered).
Blown.

Maybe she was pulling a trailer?
Maybe it was a z22 with one heck of a large heavy system in the back?
Maybe she weighs 800lbs and had three other people in the car (all that size) and the power to weight ratio was better in your car?
Maybe she tried shifting manually, and couldn't figure out how to shift out of first?
Maybe she left the e-brake on?
Maybe her car is REALLY broken?
Or maybe your car is magical? I watched the new Love Bug movie. Herbie beat a vette, GTO, and Nascar... so anything is possible with magic!

Lindsay Lohan is hot in that movie.
maybe vin deisel is his mechanic

i will bring this post back up when i go to the track in the spring
it is simple a number game, if it is possible then race a different car, maybe her tranny slipped or did not shift , held the gear to long, to prove it is not the driver swithc drivers, simple stuff, wierd @!#$ happens maybe you are right you be "THAT" 4spd, but can you beat another
Ok this is the last time im going to say this i beat the girl she was made cuz she was 6cars be hind me when i hit 85 so there u go and im sure it was a z24 cuz i seen the engine. why the hell would i lie about this? she did beat me off the line until i hit 45mph thats when i hit second then as soon as i hit 3500 rpms i started pulling bad on her. i pull on alot of gt's auto and manual z24s auto and manual since this and everyone i have raced has been stock and they all get beat. the 5spds arent as bad there only like 4cars but still. My friend had a 1989 cutlass calis and he ran a 15.5 in the quarter in his 4door with 2 other people in it and he had the 3spd too with a shift kit it was the quad 4 lo version too. he rode in my car and said that it is as fast as his cutlass. i am going to run this car and prove this to u guys. by the way i believe im in a 15.7 15.8 cuz if u ever read up on a 1989 mx6 non turbo 5spd thats what they run and im dead even with them
Mike, I mean this sincerely, you're wasting your time. I'm going to be frank with you, no one believes you and no one will until you show timeslips, vids, anything to validate your claims. Don't get angry at us for not believing you; this is the internet, people lie all the time, most of the people here aren't going to be swayed by comments that don't seem realistic. I'm saying this because I want to save you the trouble of arguing and not because I want to pick a fight with you.
If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to ask. You could also reach me on AIM, email, or PM. Remember, we're not denying your claims because we want to be difficult, the reason is because we weren't born yesterday and we're not going to believe a somewhat outrageous claim made by someone we don't know.
Blown.
ok thats a good idea im going to get a vid of this and show u and laugh at all u that said i couldent.

According to your profile, neither one of your cars are stock. Your 99 has a 2.4L in it. Your 02 has Zex dry nitrous system (55 shot). I guess you would be beating stock 2.4L at the track. You are not stock!!
98 Z24

I think you're taking everything to heart when you really shouldn't. This is the internet, people make outrageous claims all the time. Do a search for threads on the name "Jordan Kruger", especially in the Versus forum, and you'll see what I'm talking about. And, again, if you ever have questions about modding, let me know and I'll be glad to help you out.

you know that woman drivers are lighter some one in indy had a fit about danica patrick cuz she is lighter then the men drivers .anyways what have u done and what shape is your ride in . if she does not race as often as u then her engin may not be as tired and wore out as hers .take some pounds off your car and leave all the other seats but the driver seat at home and take the big ol speakers out when u race.also some ez mods like different sized pullys grunding system plugs wires coils intake and exhaust will do alot in hp boost big time .also know your car whell enough like when to shift and how much power to put down when comming off the line .burning ruber may seem fun but it is loss of traction and wasted hp that could be used for going down the track
