Get what? We did a legit run from 40-120 which he got me about 1 1/2car. Well obviously Will is not too happy about that. But that is what happened.

What is there to be mad about Jon. Did I loose or is your car a stock civic hybrid...NO! For cry sake you have a 5.5 liter v8 in a car thats almost a 1000lbs less than my car. I shouldn't pull far away from you in a rolling 1/4 mile race however it was more than a car and a 1/2.

Lit up a 745i for the rights to a lane. Lined up side-by-side in 2 seperate lanes that were merging into 1. I hit it, and let him know the lane was mine. Typical OC BMW 7-series owner.

Also, raced a Audi RS4 to a dead heat. I'd like to race one again!

Yeah the RS4 has 420hp just a little heavier then your Clk55. I guess the 362hp Clk55 is underrated. Gotta love the 55 AMG motors!

You must be pushing 460hp+ crank which makes up for the mass lbs.

The best run with Will from a 1st gear roll was when he got me like 2cars. I definitely kept up. I want to run you MID when its cool and dry. My auto felt sluggish when its humid. Your manual doesnt really get affected.

I certainly don't expect the thing to be stationary under full throttle pumping smoke out of the wheel wells, but traction can easily become an issue with varying road and tire conditions...enough to slow things down a bit.
