There are many other cars that attempted and lost, plenty of V8s and stock turbo'd cars, but mostly "riced" out Civcs, Accords, 240SXs, etc.
Disclaimer : When I say riced out, I mean lots of performance-type parts installed for "show", but no power addition modifications, so please don't take offense. I respect a lot of cars and what's done to them, but drivers should know that when they're driving an underpowered economy car that they've done nothing but add weight to, they're going to lose against a lightweight turbo'd car.
The best for last:
Lamborghini Murcielago - I mention this one because the owner could not stop talking trash about Miatas, and then proceeded to stall his car on take-off. I was simply curious as to how badly I'd lose, guess we'll never know on this setup. My hardtop glass now wears his Lamborghini of Atlanta sticker.
Ties
This means that neither vehicle could outdistance the other
'67 Chevelle - 632ci, 6-speed, owner admitted to have nitrous but not using it
Viper GTS
Viper SRT-10
Ferrari 355
Losses
This means that I lost outright
600whp Turbo Civic Hatch - Looked like a typical hatch, turned out to be the exact opposite. Awesome sleeper and very cool owner. Good friend now.
Hiyabusa Turbo - I knew what was coming, but I just wanted to hear a turbo'd bike.
C6 Z06 - Took me by a little more than a car length. I could not match the low-end torque. Owner still said he was impressed.
'94 RX7 Single Turbo - Good friends car. Had to see how I'd measure up against it.
Wins, Ties, and Losses w/ Built Engine and GT2871R Turbo
Mustang GT - Previous body style - Intake and Exhaust, other mods unknown. He pulled up next to me at a light and said there was no reason a Miata should ever have dual exhaust. I ignored him, he tried showing off, so I proceeded to put a few car lengths on him in second gear.
