Default My Vette vs. modded WRX (video)

Guy from my area kept wanting to race my Vette becuase he did a ton of work to his WRX. I played with him a few times on backroads and highway. We never got a really good run on each other to tell who had the faster car. Finally met at IRP. Here was the final result. No excuses afterwards.

Actually pretty close, what were both of your times? Nice run and a nice launch on your part.

Great kill you got him off the line pretty good. Too Bad no times. I wish people would zoom in on the times, but I think many of these cameras don't zoom.

Nice kill. Guessing from the launch you had him from start to finish by about the same distance.
