I posted this elsewhere, but I think I'll get more responses here:
I just raced a Lexus IS 300... 2005. 5-speed Auto with Overdrive. Now if I'm right the IS300 has 215 Horsepower and 218 lbs/ft torque...
I beat him. And pretty bad too... maybe about 2 car lengths. I don't understand why. Maybe my DSG's shifting. He was one guy and I had my friend in the car. So... our weight should have been pretty even because the car is only about 100 lbs heavier.
Oh well, chalk up another car for me.
We sorta raced on the freeway on the way to my house and there was some miscommunication and I started off first, as I slowed down he started going, so he was up about half a car's length. I sorta caught up and was pretty much next to him. I was going about 85ish in 4th gear and when I hit it into 5th I started pulling ahead but ran into some traffic so we let off... oh well.
Opinions and/or comments?
He wants to fix his car up a bit so I think he'll beat me in a couple of months because he's going to fix his car up and well... I'm going to be going to school and I'm not going to have cash flow.
