It was 30min ago at about 1am on a deserted stretch of road, we were at the red we reved at each other, I knew his car was FAR superior but I gunned it on the green for fun to see how bad I would loose. He began pulling forward but not as quickly as I had anticipated. Maybe he was a really bad driver but in about 80feet or so he was only about 3/4 a car lenght infront. I had to stop early because of an exit I had to get off at. Thought it was pretty intrestin after loosing to a Honda Pilot!! biggrin.gif

Well, this is just from personal experience, but, could it be that he really just didn't race, but was just driving normal?

Before my friend totaled his 350, we would line up next to each other just for the fun of it. He had a 6-speed... and basically, if I were to floor it with my ST and shifting at 5,800 rpm, I would be dead even with him.

Only problem was, he would shift around 3-3,500 rpm...

So, while I was pushing my Celi for almost everything it has, he was just driving normal and still outpacing me.

Since I was with him when he totaled it, I can tell you this... the car holds up pretty well even upside down...
