I'm not calling BS because anything can happen on the street. But, he definitely shouldn't have lost that race. When I read things like this, I always wonder what the hell the other driver was doing. But you didn't put any detail in the story so there could be some other variables left out. You're modded to compete more with a regular bolt on GT. A Saleen with that much power should've walked you easily. But we all know that anything can happen on the street. Nice Kill.

When there is no punctuation in your writing it makes any story seem less credible. That, and it causes me to have a migraine trying to decipher WTF you actually did that night.

I will say this for comparative reasons. Up at gainesville raceway one of the track workers has a silver rousch supercharged mustang ('05+). We've chatted and raced a couple of times. he has a few minor bolt on's (like CAI, and just exhaust). Depending on his launch i would either be ahead by a tenth or two, or he'd be ahead by a tenth or two. He got himself a tune and practiced driving a little bit more and was able to pull off a 12.2 i believe the same day I pulled a 12.6. Moral of the story.....fast car DOES NOT EQUAL good driving ability. And.....anything can happen on the street (or the strip for that matter). BTW...I was cutting 1.8 60'ers when he was getting 2.2's consistantly.

Well, I'm not going to call BS yet. But my problem isn't whether you won or lost, or came up even. My problem is that you said it was red with white stripes and you pulled up and saw it said Saleen, and on the hood scoop it said supercharged.
Saleens usually don't have stripes, except for a small rocker panel logo stripe and they don't have hood scoops that say anything, they don't have hood scoops. However, Roush Mustangs do have stripes, and hood scoops, and they do have models that come with superchargers, and on the hood scoop it will say Roushcharged. You sure you aren't confused, and that you actually ran a Roush?

2 things, you are driving an Auto and he is driving a stick. Also the race was from a roll which pretty much eliminates the already mentioned problem.

Ready for anything except the modern world of business. Practice saying "would you like fries with that and would you like to supersize it and is there anything else I can get you today no problem bye" until you get it perfect.
Nice kill.
