Ha, I suspected everyone would lean towards the Civic and that is certainly correct! This car was turbocharged and the guy driving it was so anxious to catch me in traffic I could almost bet he was peeing all over himself like an excited little puppy dog seeing his owner after being trapped in his cage all day. Well the guy caught me in traffic and gave me the race nod and of course I accepted, I could hear his turbo spooling as we raced from a roll. The good news is that we stayed neck and neck the ENTIRE race and let off at almost 120mph (top of my 4th gear) He looked shocked that I kept up with him and I was a little shocked myself but once I heard his turbo I knew anything could happen. This is just another example of you can make any car fast.....

Just so you know, this is me every single time I see an F430 or a Gallardo --I'm bitter about an unfortunate run in I had with a 430 a while back and I want to prove myself.

With his mods, he should have closer to 330 horsepower, at the wheels...
So he picked up 60rwhp with pullies, exhaust, and an aluminum driveshaft? That's impressive.

those new 05+ gt's are quicker than people think they are. my buddy raced a gto with the 6.0 the other weekend on the free way and walked it up to 130.
