Suzuki vs. Kia

[untainted]

2006 Reno vs. Kia Spectra...unknown year, likely around 2006 as well.
Off the line, wet road.
Whatcha think happened? (No wreck involved.)

[jurupa]

My guess the Reno won.

well if it was a wet road, depends if which car had more traction. You coud have all the horsepower in the world but can't put it on the pavement, there's no point. Tires are the base for performance.

i dont know the specs says the kia would beat us, but it all comes down the drivers.

I look at cars.com for specs

[Aztec Ninja]

I would put my money on the reno,that is if it's the same set up as the forenza, cause my forenza beats the shite of a kia any day

[jurupa]

Reno = Forenza. The only difference is the body, everything else is 100% the same.

[Aztec Ninja]

so the specs say but you know even forenza's doffer from other forenza's so you never know, didn't want to step on anybodies toes. (trying to keep any reno owners that may have lost from getting sore

Yeeeeeeahhhh... the sad thing is that I lost that one, which boggles my mind a bit. I'm not sure if it's because my tires burned out for a couple of seconds, but I couldn't keep up with the thing.
