short stint with wrx and 350Z
I am pleased to see that my car (clk500) took both cars to 60 with no problems.
I have to admit the wrx was from a roll going around 10-15mph.
I know wrx are better from a stop but we went from a roll and he just had no chance, by 45 I had plenty of room to switch into his lane.
Regarding the 350Z, he actually took off first, I didnt even know he wanted to go. But I slammed on the gas once i realize it was on. By 40 I was already ahead of him and by 60 I was a good car ahead. I immediately slowed down once I reached 60 because I was on a busy street but I know that if we were to go higher speeds, I would easily take him since my car performs better at high end.

I also raced a audi A6 2.7T last week and had no problems walking him.
I gotta admit from 0-30 we were neck and neck, but afterwards I easily passed him. I guess his awd gives him good launches.
btw raced from a stop.
I sped past a caravan and at the next red light, this fat middle aged lady rolled down her window and said to me "well what did you accomplish by going that fast". I just smiled at her. I felt like saying I beat a Audi A6 turbo, thats what I accomplished.
