Default 06 V6 vs. 00 V6

Alright, so here is the deal...

My little brother and i just raced i beat him 4-1...

I have never practiced launching this car before... and i have not shifted hard at all yet.... so bare with me...

Race 1: from a dig...

I didnt launch cuz i wasnt sure if we were racing, but apparently we were and he got a launch... i just floored it when i saw him jump and i pulled a little and my bumper ended up in front of his at around 70...

Race 2: Dig...

This time we knew it was a race... i got over zealous and launched a little high... spun em, but so did he, just not as bad, he pulled a bit, i missed second and lost by 3-4 cars...

Race 3: 50 Roll...

Started in 2nd and pulled hard till 4th around 100-110... beat him by about a car or 2

Race 4: 55 Roll...

Started in third pulled a car or 2...

Race 5: Dig... (i needed some closure, lol)

On a back road, i get a sold launch he spins a bit and i pull a good 2 cars up to 70-75...


Im completely stock
He has a short throw
CAI
True Dual Exhaust


I prolly shoulda beat him a little harder, but i need more practice in this particular car... i used to DESTROY him from a dig in my slow old birdie cuz i could drive it WELL... so even though i did ok the third time from a dig, i want to do better... and i was PISSED i missed second, i found it kind of hard to slam gears in this cars as compared to my bird... but i still love the car...

LOL btw he said my exhaust sounded like an airplane, i wish i woulda heard my own exhaust

nah. those losses and wins were about right. the new v6 isn't THAT much faster than the new edge stangs.

well i jsut figured, due to my driving i should have beat him harder, mayb he is driving impaired himself, lol... he has had his car awhile though and won some unbelieveable races... so i would give him credit.... .3-.5 is a good amount though, more than a car or 2... course he does have those minor mods.... dont ya think it prolly shoulda been a good 3 cars? or u really think that was right?

yea yea yea but ya know what I still won once. Sure it was because you missed second but your driver error is still not my problem and I still ended up in front. They sure were fun races but next time you do the honking and after my ud's and hopefully I can lighten her up a bit we will see who is where

BTW for any of you who dont know I am lilc1511's lil bro
