Default Street racing kill Upset

Well this was quite an upset for me. Me and a couple of friends meet up at night to race and this guy with a 07 Mustang gt calls me out for a race. The guy has intake, muffler cut outs, and a tune. I on the other hand have headers, full exhaust, ls6 intake, diablo tune, and SLP Ram air. I thought it was going to be a kill since i have a 01 camaro z28 so we lined up in this deserted street. I am with my gf and confident I am going to win. He has a stick and i drive an auto but still i thought it was going to be a kill. So as ouir "flag girl" lol raises his hands I am pumped his arms go down and I floor it. My gf in the car is screaming like hooollly S*** he pulls about half a car ahead of me on the start and i start reeling him in. I was in disbelief as i pass him and he ends up near my rear the street comes to a finish.

I slow down and beat him about a quarter of a car. I could not believe it he kept up with me having all these mods. So I race him twice same thing i couldnt believe it. Can somneone give me an explanation about why i couldnt kill him like i thought i would.

mb your ego is too big and you expect too much?

possibly traction issues since you sound like you just "floor" it from the dig and probably spun to hell. or the mustang has a better driver mod than u? who knows.

OP - .....simple, you under estimated him. Bolt on Tune S197 MGT's shouldnt' be taken lightly as you have now experienced.

Extra weight, A4 with a worse launch, tuned S197. It adds up.

Hey at least you are honest and you still get credit for the kill.What mods do you have ? the 197's run good with the tune and gears, You are pretty close to stock Hugh? A win is a win . My 07 gt has a tune and highway gears 331 to be exact and has run a 13.10 at 106 with a 2.1 60 ft with an auto a-5 13.30 in bad weather.The mods are tune cai and cat back .

maybe 350hp at the crank some get 290rwhp some get 320rwhp depending on the car so u might be at 320rwhp u just never know ......and yes a diablosport is better than no tune but not by much get a profesional tune when u have money and ur car will pull alot harder

You don't have a lot of mods. Good kill though.

I was messing with one on the highway the other day, sounded like it had at least exhaust...wouldn't slow down so we just messed around with 75-105ish rolls, pretty much dead even, seems like I would start pulling and he would get out of it

You can't drive, maybe? Or maybe he had **** he didn't tell you about. You also didn't say anything about the length of the race. He jumped out on you and you put half a car on him by the end of the race. If you raced to 150mph that's not impressive at all, but if you only raced to 80, then I'd say that's pretty good.
