Ouch..reminds me of my first loss in my WS6...my buddy goes "hey race that M6 over there", I figured what the hell it doesnt look that fast...bullshit! Damn thing blew me away. Out of curiosity I went to the BMW dealer the next day and looked at the price tag of $125k and didnt feel quite so bad.

No point in being scared. It's just a race. He wouldn't do very well though. I raced my cousin's R/T from about a 30 roll and a 60 roll up to 90 or so each time.. it was bad.

My first loss was again a red notch which a Ci of 400 or more I just cant remember and it had 2 stages on it he only used 1 he said. Well from a dig he had about LOL literally 50-60 cars on me by the time I was going 90. He was very quiet about what he had but id imagine it was a high 8 to low 9 sec car but didnt look like it at all other then it was shaking so bad and so loud I could not hear him at idle but it was definetly a very very fast car
