Default Ran a 2000 Saleen E

Pull up to a redlight, and see a Saleen E 2 cars back. I am first up, so I wait on him, he gets beside me and paces me, he hits it, I hit it, and we stayed dead even till the top of 2nd, where we had to slow down because of another light...He pulled over and said he dynoed around 460...How did I stay next to him??

Maybe his "goodnight" gear is 3rd? Who knows... I just know I wouldn't mind having myself one of those Saleens [sm=Awwww.gif]

Either he was playing with you or your powerbands are different. I'm sure if you hit 3rd and 4th, he'd of gotten you.

I think those 2 cars are pretty evenly matched, especially from a roll. I would think the Saleen would weigh alittle more too.

460 rwhp? Huh, well maybe third gear was the mother of all gears for that car. Good run in any case.

Surprised nobody thought the Saleen driver was lying about his #'s.

He showed me a list of his mods, and told me he had the saleen IV blower or something under the hood, so I didn't figure he was lying...
