RE: WON the race

If it is that close you have to race him best of three to really shut the guy up.

I beat the crap out of V6 Camaros all the time.... I keep getting lucky by running into bad drivers! I've beat a few cars that, according to numbers, are impossible.

Sometimes the car feels faster than 200 hp, if that's what I'm making with CAI and K&N filter... I know it's close to that. I haven't beat a new Stang V6 yet, but they don't beat me by a large margin, especially if it's an auto. It baffles me sometimes how much of a difference it makes when a powerful car has a bad driver...

Cars I shouldn't have beat (based only on numbers)

95 Mustang GT Auto (My favorite kill ever)
2000 Civic Si
3 V6 Camaros
V6 Charger
Ford Probe GT (Supposed to be a little faster than mine in the 1/4)
91 Mazda Miata vert

Oh well, a win's a win I guess...

that 200 number is at the fly wheel, and that is probably only about 198, rwhp is probably around 174

oh and early miatas i could probably take in my jeep, they are sloooowww

Oh, I know that. Flywheel hp is what I was talking about. I've never had the car on a dyno.

they didnt put a 2.5 in F-bodies, those are old engines from the 3rd gen, f-bodies had 3.4s and 3.8s, im really surprised you beat him, especially with 18" rims

um... yes they did. my roomate has a 92 camaro 2.5L f-body sitting right outside my apartment. and the engine is stock. its not a replacement of any sort.

f-bodies are the 3rd gens... unless both body styles are considered f-bodies.
