paint some things yellow too. Rule of thumb each item 5 hp. I've raced you before you did the tornado and iat things and your car was super strong so with all these mods you'll have him but good.

depends on how much of a head start you get. with an eigth mile head start on a quarter track you just might win. or, maybe if he starts in 2nd and skips the odd gears and you get a car length advantage and nail every shift as well as the launch you might get him then too. hehehehehehehe......funny joke

Even with my auto, I beat one of those ferraris. Definitely because of all the yellow. I think the small amount of vinyl helped me get the lead off the line.

Peeling pait is good. Zero out your BS meter to save some extra weight. The fool won't know what hit him!!
