and ran the rest in 4th...

i woulda beat him had i known i could go to 80 in 3rd. wow. i woulda blew him away actually. and he has .1 liter bigger then me! **** ill have to race him again and make my shift points at higher rpms

he has .1 liter more but you have between 2 and 7hp more than him. 4.2 is rated 202hp and i think 4.3 is 195 but culd be 200 now. i would say 195. also dont shift into 4th till 70 to 75. 75 to 80 seems to be faster in 4th because it is back aound its powerband.
