Default WS6 vs WS6

Last night I raced another WS6 that was completely stock,my mods are in the sig,we raced from a 70 roll and I pulled 3 lengths up to 100,then we raced from a stop and he pulled me 2 lengths up to about 70,now shouldn't my car be faster all around or are my headers killing my low end?

headers dont hurt hp(hmm might i add w/ the right setup).....was he an A4...b/c if he was that might be the reason he got the jump like he did....and u must not have launced well either

He is definately a little more skilled behind the wheel than I am he ran 13.1 at 105,that's not bad for a stock WS6.

3 car lengths from 70 to 100? The other WS6 must have been in 6th gear... thats quite a distance to pull in that short a time.

I have to agree. 70 - 100 is a whole 30 mph...

He hit the rev limiter,that's why I pulled so fast.
