Default Q50s vs Ecoboost mustang

This guy wanted to get a baseline run after his mods (VTT stage 2 turbo, intake, catback, tune on 93). His tuner said he was in the 380whp/420wtq after all the data logging/tuning was done. He couldn't find a stock GT to run so I volunteered since stock GT should be fairly even to me if not a bit slower. We met up and did a dig, 20 and 40mph in that order. Pulled a few lengths from a dig, he jumped out a car or 2 from 20 but had to let off. 40 was pretty good, his torque advantage put him out 1.5 lengths then I reeled him back and put slightly more than a car on him by 125ish. My car has some sort of computer strategy that it doesn't really like to go in 1st gear at 20, throttle closes back even in sport mode and TC Off.

He'll likely ask me to run again once he gets E85. Infiniti is a twin turbo 3.0, 400hp/350tq.

Cool, I didn't know what a RS400 was until this. AWD too. Looks like a fast car.

In my case this one is RWD, didn't really have a need for AWD here.

Tried to go yesterday but it was packed! There was a line of cars at least 1/2 mile long at the entrance booth. Wasn't worth it. Someone I knew that was at the staging lanes was number 117 and he said there was at least another 40 cars waiting on tech and at least the same amount behind him in the staging lanes.
