Default finally got a kill

OK. Here is the story. My boss has a supercharged jaguar xf 470 hp. I just did head and cam. 431/396 to the wheel through a stalled a4 c5. He has been on me really bad to run me. Well today was the day. I thought he or I would honk it off to start. I was wrong. He jumped the start by 1.5 -2 lengths. When I hit it I pulled him pretty good. I went from to 60 to 155. I had put about 5 lengths on him by then. He called me after and told me he hit 140. He also has a c5. Said he is getting a supercharger for round 2.

Nice! Put an A&A on your C5 and show him bus lengths next time.

I'd be scared to race my boss. Come Monday, you may be looking for a new job.
