Default 02 SS vs tuned Solstice GXP

I was at a car meet and so everyone was saying that me and this GXP would be a pretty good race. I was like alright, lets go. So we go on the freeway at a 60 roll (we were going to do a dig and 40 roll but couldn't) so this GXP launches out for a bit, it's a damn quick car keep in mind, then I just dusted him after that by a longshot. He was on 25 psi.

All in all, those Solstice GXP's are quick little cars for what they are.

Hugger he is basic full boltons, 3.42 gears and a auto.

'so this GXP launches out for a bit, it's a damn quick car keep in mind, then I just dusted him after that by a longshot' OP can you do a little better description than this?! Almost undecipherable. How many car lengths?, anybody spin?, at what speed did you catch him?, when did you let up and how many cars did you have on him by then? My version of 'dusted him by a longshot' means 6-8 cars by 130mph'ish. Others believe 2 cars is a blowout. Get it?

Ah well then, and I have 3.23's lol. So anyway we line up for a 60 roll 3 honks and so on the third honk we take off he jumps out for about a second then I catch him at about 65 mph (I guess) and then start putting car lengths on him quickly. I'd say about 4+ lengths at 120'ish. Nobody spun. I let off at about 130 and I would say about 5-6. I really don't remember it much anymore. My short term memory is absolute ****. But yeah I would call it ownage lol.

Better?

Good race and just be glad you raced him from a roll.. A race from a dead stop to 100 or so just might have been a totally different outcome since they don't have any top end..
