Gulp.....uhhhhhhh
Carrera GT on dragtimes......11.2 and 11.1 not a chance
Murcielago 11.7.....maybe
Gallardo 12.3...pretty good chance...at least even steven
Esprit 12.9+...noooooo problem
Again all of these are until we hit the first corner, then we eat the ditch and they laugh.

Here's a kill of mine against a 91 Ferrari 348 (I think). It was his first time at the track and eventually ran a 13.9. Although you can't see my time, it was an 11.8. Not exactly a race.

Would go toe to toe with any of these cars if they lined up next to me. Would love to see the face of a CGT owner when a four door sedan is staying within his field of vision
Agree, that the road needs to be straight

I beat out a Carrera GT uphill by 4 car lengths with my husband, son and dog in the car! Of course then I flinched in my sleep and woke up :v

Unless it's a straight race and you've got 3 bottles of NOS.

I rarely see exotics that are willing to race. So far, the most "exotic" has been an M3, an older M5, new (newer) Cobra, and a couple of Vettes. Lot's of ricers though.

Pulled on a Viper, a bike pulled away from me before I shut off the car, went head to head with a 996TT, all cases in city driving no high speed runs.

I haven't ran anything too exotic. I've beaten an RT/10 Viper, C6 Vette, couple of Mustang's (1 SC'd GT, 1 stock Cobra) and the best (most exotic) was the new Turbo Cab. Short run with the cab., it was on the DC beltway so not a lot of room to play but pulled him about a car up to a buck 5.
