i agree that alot of cars out there is a drivers race or a little quicker then us but the look you get from someone that drives up beside you in a porche boxster and you beat him is priceless considering their car is over 40,000.

be careful of all mercedes that have the amg badge on the back,they range from 380 hp to over 600 hp,they are quick.you might hang with the little roadster amg but the midsize ones are real beasts.
LOL, i learned that one the hard way..Sl55 AMG

the two fastest car ive ever messed w/ on the road to date were a sl55 AMG, and some crazy modd ls1 camero SS; omg...cams, headers and the whole 9 yards...just sick

I've beant pretty much every truck that tryed to race me; dodge ram 1500's, f150s, more 1500s, all those crazy old lifted trucks, s10. Did i say ram 1500? they really like to race.

I've beat 2 stock 2005 350zs(i hear the new ones are fast), 06 civic si, gti, modd 94 civic w/ my bro v6, 530 bmr,

The AMG's are fast but the Brabus tuned ones are a little more mental. They go up to 730hp and 810ft lbs which is actually electronically limited.

Had a Jeep SRT/8 behind me yesterday at the traffic lights. I was aware something was different about it, so I was kind of suspecious. We took off and I stayed in first, he joined and I pushed it down all the way, we went up all the way to third. Next lights, he pulled up next to me, we talked for a few seconds and decided to give it another try. Hitting green, we both floored it and went up to third again. I gained a little but nothing dramatic. I was surprised about this test, you know. Hearing so much about them.... I know now that they're fast, but they won't pull away from me as I was expecting (at least this one wasn't), so I know in the future, I can give it another try... Not knowing if I will make is part of the fun for me, you know?
Last I went next to a lightning, which pulled hard as well, I expected less from that one, so I was pretty surprised. Due to traffic, we weren't able to give it a second chance... tough luck for me...
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is... in a few you'll know which one's will be dangerous and which aren't (but there can always be an exception in this category). So, why not just give it a try to all the cars that feel like going, they might surprise you, or not...
it's up to you, but don't be afraid to loose sometimes.. It'll make you more alert and appreciate the others!

Why would someone say your are FOS?

There are so many variables in any race that anything can beat anything so you shouldn't make assumptions about your car based on what someone else did in theirs against someone else.

The best way to find out what your car can do is to get off the internet and go race it.

So many guys seem so afraid to get walked and come online and ask a zillion questions about outcomes that nobody could possibly predict. You are never going to beat everyone and losing is not going to make your weener fall off, so just have fun win or lose.

Who cares what you 'CAN' beat. Sometimes you will beat cars that you shouldn't have, and sometimes you'll get walked when you shouldn't have - just is what it is.

As long as you have fun in your car, that's all that matters. ANY car has the portential to be dangerous and may not always appear to be so. Just be safe and have fun.
