Thumbs up Just had a race.....

With a Honda S2000....Watch out for those thing guys and gals, that thing ran...From a roll, about 40mph, I jumped out only by a truck length, and he stayed right there all the way to a buck, traffic was too heavy to go any faster....I would assume that he was modded, cause I could hear that sucker even over my truck...It was fun and the guy was cool though, and we gave each other a thumbs-up...Well another kill to add to the list...

Schweet! I had one that wanted to run on the highway once, maybe it was just him but he was wayyyyy behind me, maybe he was scared of the 9000? RPM redline

Still havent really raced anything yet...An escalade "tried" to play on the highway thinkin he had a chance since he only had 35 less horsepower. We were side by side until i pushed it more and dropped it to 3rd...then the other was a SS camaro where we went from like 40-80 because of other cars. He definately coulda had me in the open though. Oh well being drivin maybe one day a week how much action could one expect...

I tried to get one to race me once. But he declined, maybe it was the air compressor in bed and some other tools sticking out

Those are nice little cars, to bad you have to drive the thing like you want to kill it to get them to move.

mrinaldi- That guy must have had that thing modded to hell or spraying!! Looking at your mods and 1/4 time, you should have drug him bad. those things aren't even 13 sec. cars. Somebody correct me if Im wrong, but everything Ive read and heard about, puts 'em in the 14 sec. range. I know they have a high redline, but still, to hang with you like that........he's done some chit!

I destroy them routinely but from a rolling start they do have a chance. They have no torque to get rolling, but once rolling the 240HP on a skateboard takes over. Anyways, good kill. Now ask him to do it from a stand still. You'll make Uncle Bens out of him.
