Good kill and even better job not killing the car & yourself.

horsepower is deadly when not handled by experienced hands. hopefully my luck doesn't run out before I get experienced.

For Everyone's information this was the 2nd time I drove the car and the first time I drove it I spun it, twice. I was in a parking lot because I knew I would. I got used to the HP (or just not using it). This car is why im building a Ls1 TT 3rd gen. Which is almost done... as they always say. No I'm not female.

When did this race against the GT happen? I think I might know the owner.

good insurance (think double on the payout caps),a Will, and lots of practice at not just launching and hauling ***, but all the other things that will save you life like knowing how to get sideways and correct it at any speed, HOW to slide sideways around a corner on purpose, etc. If you really are planning on jumping straight into a high hp car you are setting yourself up for a nasty fall- or in this case, wreck.

Obviously the WS6 he was racing had better conditions, right?
