1st Kill in my Formula!! I just got my bone stock M6 Formula around 3 weeks ago. Only mod is a MTI lid and good driver mod. I know this guy and he had been waiting to race me, got my spark plug problem fixed with a tune up and I was ready. Finally got his match he wanted..Subaru WRX STi with very large wheels and exhaust, seems to be stock otherwise.
Race 1: He wanted to go from a dead stop:
I did no burnout, just launched around 3k rpm
, nearly hit the rev limiter as I launched in 1st spinning like crazy (Stock tires). He pulled 2-3 cars on me (AWD)....I think I hit 2nd and start to fetch him. By 3rd or so, I had put 3-4 cars on him. It was dirty. I shut her down.
Race 2: He insisted on a 20mph punch this time, I suppose you can image the outcome, it was dirty. He was pretty even with me until start of 2nd, then the top end on the LS1 pulled away and I had put buses on him.
Races were in Houston, Mexico! This being my very 1st and only race, I was happy! He said he has plans up his sleeves. I do as well!

Goos kill man, you never forget your first kill in a new car(new to you
)
The EVO i raced from a 40 was olmost my first defeat, but the big end of 3rd gear had to say otherwise, MFin AWD is not a thing to underestimate on a dig, but from a roll it is another game.
