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.

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. |

umm, i never race anything off the line, i have a slow automatic, and i know it. just running down the roads though i beat a mid 90's civic with cheap "VTEC" and "Si" emblems on the back (i highly doubt it was a VTEC or a Si), i passed him doing 100mph, and he couldnt pass me back. and then a white 300zx, again mid 90s... i was following him down the highway at about 110mph, then i had to pull of an exit merging into another highway, and he cut infront of me, so we were both going along a single lane, merging into 3 lanes, so the second it does i blow by on the right and get in front of him, and he cant get passed me... we get off and theres a light turning yellow, he gets on my right and stops but i blow threw the red light to keep my dignity, because he could beat me off the line...

I'm pretty sure the Cobras from the mid 90's weren't supercharged, and their horsepower rating was nowhere near what it is in today's. It was in the low 200's then. That's why they were called SLOWbras. |

In my ST206 Curren i got beaten by:
subaru impreza WRX Honda integra Type R with lots of Mods BMW X5 but the most enjoyable one was when I got beaten by a JDM Toyota Glanza (starlet) 1.5 Turbo with plenty of other mods. Man!!! that thing is like riding a bullet. I would not mind having one of those. Due to the size and weight i almost got beaten by one of those even with my 6gc JDM GT4. |
