yea i know. but in this case, they think the car should win their race. i have an auto, so i dont know **** about standards. but it gets on my nerves when ppl say "stab and steer".. it aint just that. not all autos just dead hook. gotta know what launches are better and how much gas to give it out the hole.
earlier that night they wanted me to give them some lengths or the hit. hell i should be the one getting something. but since i like racing so much, i'll run heads up.

Now I think its absolutely crazy that they wanted YOU to give THEM something seeing as how your car is clearly the under dog. The fact that your car is setup better doesn't change anything. He should have showed up with some 16" wheels and someone that could drive better than my 3 year old nephew.

didnt say i could do any better. why you think i drive an auto. i stick to what i know. yea its crazy they asked for that. hell if they beat me, great. nothing to brag about. right now, i dont have to feather the throttle as much, but when i had my 408, i couldnt hook it. when not racing, its easy driving both, but when under pressure, i think both auto and standard have there disadvantage. only i cant miss a gear. since i've beat a few fast cars around here, everyone wants piece. its all fun. hell if i lose the next 5 or however many street races, so what. more seat time to come back and be better next time.

well we had a rematch and tied, but we ran 200 ft short cause we thought where we pasted the folks was the 1/4 mile. if we'd had stayed in it, probably would've gotten me bout a car length. he got some front struts installed. he left early but i still put a car on him out the hole. i'm ready for a nitrous tune.

Finally got the video to load. My opinion...
Looks like you got him to run your race. Auto, stalled, geared...Yea what did he expect? Still looked like after he got his **** together finally he was pulling on you HARD. Once you noticed that, seemed you let off. I'd like to see this race from a roll. I'd guess the Cobra would win by 4 or 5 carlengths.
