Not killed....... Annihilated!!! I need you guys to chime in with your opinions on this matter. Today I ran into a guy who's friend I raced a few months back. The guy's friend has a Turbo Rabbit making nearly 400whp and weighs less than 1800 pounds. The guy to this day still insists I only beat his friend because he was spinning at the punch. He probably was spinning.... from 60mph I spin like crazy too.... but in a race that is nearly a mile long you have plenty of time to still win the race if your car is faster. As evidenced by this vid of me racing a high HP SRT4 on the bottle.

What I want to know is if you guys think that him spinning or not spinning would have mattered in this race. I will admit he may have let off after I put a few trainlengths on him.... but you be the judge.

well from the other vids iv'e seen every one puches it as soon as they pass under the bridge correct, he maintained for a bit but he lets off, traction? scared? or maybe he realized he couldn't win. well you won and i think you'd beat him again, you have a strong car good kills by the way

A 400hp Rabbit? Holy Sh*T!! 
BUt I simply can not see him winning. his lack of weight would seem to be his demise on this one.
I'm sure if he was AWD it would be different, but with his inability to get traction from a dig you would kill him. From a roll that may be a lil different, but if he still spins from a roll then ya I see you having another win in the record.
I maybe wrong, but that is how I see it.....

Good kill. 
... 
I hate hearing people whining when they lose about how they were spinning yada yada... Excuses are like ******** everyone has one! You should tell the guy to spend a little more money on his suspension and a lot more time on his driving skills and STFU. Good kill!
