My Camaro VS Mirage My gilrfriend's friend has a Mitsubushi Mirage. He said it has like 113 hp but he just added a coffee can to it and claims hes up to 150 hp from it. 
We raced like two months ago from 50ish. I left him get a jump ( half car) and then nailed it. It was close for a brief second then I pulled really hard around 70 and stopped at 85. I'm not the best on judging car lengths but it was at least 10cars. Then finally this weekend I was able to line up from a redlight. He told me too let him win so people behind us would think he would win. Light turns green and we nail it. I didn't even see him even get a jump on me as I pulled through 1st hard and into 2nd til 80. I looked up in my mirror and seen his headlights waaaaaaaaaaay back. Later I'm talking to him and he tells me he lost because he needs an oil change. I can't wait to next time to beat him when I have my pulley installed. I know after the race I could use some gears since it doesn't pull hard until around 30 mph and will wake the car up more.

Nice kill, but I put this in the "Waste of gas" category. I didn't know that oil changes could help you win races, I guess you learn something new every day.
