Default me vs my brother (no vid)

On the way home from work all of a sudden my brother is next to me on the highway lol. He just got an 08 mercedes c300. So anyways after yelling at eachother out our windows he guns it. I throw in into 2nd and were off started around 60mph. Now i know thats not a good roll spot for me but he actually kept right besides me until about 85 then i pulled him. With his car being 228 hp i thought id kill him easy. Although he definatley got the hit before me but still. Ive got about 100 hp on him. These cars are geared like ****, gotta get a better tune asap lol

Good run, man! Car is looking good too.
When someone gets the jump on you, it is difficult to make up that lost ground. Not uncommon.
I recently ran a bolt-on '10 Mustang GT where he took the hit and it took me some time to make up that distance. Once I got rolling though, I had him but it did take time. Regardless, you had enough to pull on him up top and a win is a win no matter how you do it.

BTW..what is the purpose of the flipped motor mount in your sig? Just curious...

That is definitely true

Good run. The 7spd helps keep it in the powerband much more, I'm sure. I'd like to see how you fair up against my friend's Magnum RT. If you're ever in NYC, lmk.

At the moment, bone stock. Low 14s. He's going to be getting a few things done, I think.

Its not a bad spot but i need further tuning to change some shift points. My top end isnt bad, considering i was going 150 last weekend, but it could definatley get there a little quicker than it does now

impala looks good bro...stupid question, which motor is your impala? I have driven one before and it was a really nice quick car. Took it from Louisiana to North Carolina and I was definitely impressed.

Hugger1975, dude I love your heavily modded HHR. I cant imagine how many unsuspecting cars you blow away. There face must be priceless. The face probably looks a little like this --->
