Thanks! Yea the funny part is I was spinning the tires when i passed him, I had to pedal it both times and in the end you can see where I got some traction and just leaped another 2 cars ahead

That would make to much sense. The guy looks like he was just casually shifting from one gear to the next smh

Yea he needs some work on his shifting, as far as break boosting ...he spun in 3rd but definitely would've helped him in the second run.
his car is no slouch tho, it spun in 3rd at 60+MPH in this race. 11sec car easy the way it sits. He's got a new head and bottom end being built should get him a 10sec timeslip and 500+whp.

So now a 600hp stroked turbo can't pull away hard from a 380~fwhp cobalt?

Aww cmon guys lol he's good friend of mine, just a friendly race between friends. Ill be ready for him when he's got his 500whp and i should be up around 800 once I crank the boost. He says dude it's a four cylinder...I say don't bring a knife to a gun fight

why is it every time a slowbalt gets destroyed there is atleast a hundred excuses made by the fanbois? or is it just a fact slowbalts attract **** poor drivers? or that there blown out of porportion of how "fast" they are. im saying a combination of the 2 lol.
