Anyone who is giving this guy **** is an idiot. It's a reasonable story. Accept it, and get over it. If you can't handle the truth, keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you are just proving to everyone how stupid you are.

Any more complainers

I believe him taking the FD off the line, and if the FD only had an exhaust, I believe he would have taken that far as well, but its all speculation of what the FD had, how good a driver, missing a gear, etc..too many variables. I can give you a bit of experience with a FD and Stealth AWD TT. A friend with a FD with exhaust, downpipe, intake, stock twins, PFS smic, PFS purple computer was thinking about buying another friends stealth AWD TT. I was driving this mutual friends Stealth which had 3" turbo back exhaust, boost set at 15-16 lbs, intake, IC pipes. We Did two rolling starts from like 20 mph in 2nd gear, I was driving the stealth, I pulled on him through second, when I hit third, he shot by me like a rocket, we did this two times, same effect. After that, needless to say, he didnt but the stealth, granted the 7 did have some more supporting mods, but the extra weight of the VR4/stealths shows on highway runs, and it is a catch up game with the DSM AWD, I had a 91 Talon TSi AWD, in 98 was runnin mid 12's at 110 mph spds. not bad for a bolt on car and were the Ultimate stop light race cars, but again, the top end is where it hurt, but they pulled very hard 1 and second gear, lol. Well, just sharing experience, and as we all know, experiences differ for everyone, with the millions of variables that make each one entirely different.

Well? Like I said, I'm still new to this car and its entirely different from a dead stop than any car I've owned. Hmm, 880, 101...I don't really do highway
races guys. When drag racing becomes a "high speed roll" sport, and racing associations and organizations begin to recognize roll races, that might be the day. Until then, dead stop - either the tree lighting up, or the flagger dropping his arms.
