102 is a very high mph for that time. Same with my best. It just shows that the car is very hard to get off the the line, but pulls like crazy once you get going. This is pretty accurate, as anybody who has driven or riden in a S/Ced contour can attest to. FWIW, My brother ran a 13.2 @ 105 with his '69 Cougar with serious traction problems in first gear. So I think if I can do a better job on the launch (2.3 best 60') I should easily be in the 13's. We'll find out next week.
As for cars I have beaten. I dont race much on the street, but when I was at the track, I beat a WRX (easily) and my freinds Mustang GT (auto, Pro-M, Bassani X-pipe & exhaust). I have run the same mustang on the street a few times and it is just no contest, from a start or a roll.
I have got in a few races with ricers at stoplights, but it usually only takes a second gear flogging to fly by and then I slow down and watch the look of surprise as they do the classic ricer fly-by
. If I ever get in any really good races, I will definately post for all to see.
