300D vs. Nissan Quest

So I'm in Methuen Mass (a town full of punk ricers) in my classy 124 300D. A nisan quest with 2 highschool kids comes up next to me and give me a look.
My glowplugs and I know it's on.
The light turns green and i give it the gas. unfortunately, so does teh quest. He owns me by about 9 car lengths, and i walk away with my tail between my legs.

its a shame almost EVERY car/truck on the road will own a 300D; I dorve one for 7 years and learned to just lay back and not worry about going/accelerating fast bcs its just not gonna happen!! Funny story, though!

Well, if your car does 0-60 in 12 - 13 secs, and his does it in 8.75 secs, then he should be about 750 + feet ahead of you by that speed. Guess it sounds right, doesn't it?

Dump some Diesel Kleene into the tank, get it chipped, and then rematch. Maybe you'll only lose by 7 car lengths then.
