Default Slow LS2 GTO vs Focus ST

I was getting a bunch of stares from a red Focus ST at the gas station and didn't think much of it. Went to get out on the highway and he flew up behind me. He was waving for a race so I said **** it. He asked for a 40 roll(I hate roll racing...) and I honked it off. Jumped out by a car length pretty quick but by 4th gear he was starting to pull on me. At about 120 he got nearly nose to nose with me, but he was at the top of 4th and let out. I ended up waving him over, because I wanted to know what he had done.

Had a gtx2867r with meth injection and full bolt ons. I was actually surprised he couldn't pull ahead of me with all that work done. I just have longtubes/exhaust and I'm not tuned for it yet.

Focus ST came out in 2013, pretty nice car. That's actually what I'm looking to get next year. But they run mid 14s in the mid-upper 90s stock, so I'd expect the car in this race to trap in the low teens maybe? Good kill OP.

Their trap isn't all that great.so I'm not surprised he couldn't get around you.

Good stuff though
