    so buddy of mine is staying at my house till next week tell he goes to b.c and he has been ragging about my car about no torque, and he is correct driving around town partial throttle his car does have more torque, but i just kept saying linem up andlets see.
    well yesterday cruising with the windows open after a day of sitting at the beach with my wife, him and his wife were also there in there car so he left beach same time i did.
    ANYWAYS cruising at 110(km/h not mph) he comes into the passing lane and i wait for him, well at my rear window i hear his car downshift to 2nd and supercharge start its whine, so i go wot, i immediately pulled half a car on him so was at my back bumper, and kept him their till 180 when i seen his speed limiter kickin, and yes from 160-180 took FOREVER lol but still got their faster then the ssei. his excuse was he wasnt wot, but he admits he was in 2nd so he should of caught me and passed me only being 1/2 a car behind lol
    ssei has all new plugs wires etc etc.
    Im bugging him everday now to go from a dig with video before he leaves, he is stalling... lmao

    His limiter isn't until about 200kmh. FWIW with the mods listed in your sig, even stock...he should have been able to take you. Might be true that he underestimated your car and stupidly didn't go wot right away. By then..it was too late. One way for him to prove it would be to get you to race again.

    If I were you, I'd leave it alone and smile with your victory.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I want to know if he can take my car out from a dig and keep pulling, if I lose (which i thought i would for sure at a high speed race) then Ill admit defeat and have video to prove my lost. I have been bugging him since the race. other then my mods i have the better gear ratio and 300 pounds lighter
    and yes kmh not mph

    Wow fourth to second at 110 eh... I wouldn't even think about doing that lol! I wouldn't even manually drop it to 3rd at that speed, I just hit the go pedal and let it hit warp speed.

    i didn't manually shift it, i floored it. 2nd gear goes all the way to 156'sh so why wouldnt you downshift to 2nd? tranny isnt that horrible

    That was my car. All i had was intake, 2.5" DP, and HV3 no tune. I forgot to take the shifter out of first so it doesnt shift into 3rd if you can hear it. Gearing and less weight really does help.
