Default Ran into another Hell Cat

Mexico seems to be a popular spot for Hell Cats to roam. This one was Bolt-on E85 on a 28" Mickey DR. Makes over 750whp. He would destroy me from a roll but I got em' on the dig with the stock run flats. Listen for the tire chirp on the 3-4 lol.

Damn...that gives new meaning to "spinning ain't winning".
Maybe he should have got out of it and then jumped back on it. He still should have enough power to pull back as long as he did not run out of space. Leaving it matted like that did nothing but make cool smoke.

He gave up after 1/8 mile....he wouldn't of caught me by the 1/4. My old 4th gen ran him twice and on the second run he came around up top. They did a roll too and the HC put 5 cars on him with passengers. This Kitty is nasty! Even with a drag pack it is traction limited under 70-80mph. Heard him say 750whp one time then 800whp another...I would guess in that realm of power.

Reminds me of a big guy tossing punches but can't hit anything. Dam you schooled that guy but good. I raced a expensive Mustang a while back, guy was kinda smirking like my WS6 would be a easy kill. I cleaned his clock!, guy couldn't drive for ****. Mile down the highway at the next light he didn't want any part of me. Look on his face was priceless. I could tell he was wondering WTH just happened. LMAO at him.
