2 races within last couple of days...

I usualy dont race, but once a while I come across few....

I drive 2003 Acura EL, turbocharged with TSI kit, before few minor tweaks I've dyno'd 160whp/170wtq, now it has about 170whp or so.

First race was against 2006 Jetta 2.0 Turbo, manual.
The guy wanted to race, I think he did not realise I was turbo'd,
We strted from stop. 1st & 2nd gear we were even, but after I went into 3rd he's started loosing by half or so body at about 65 mph, soon after we stopped. The funny thing, he told me he had his winter tires on...
His car has stock VW rims, I think 17", may be 18"....


Second race was an emberrasment to the other driver, it was 2003 (?) Lincoln LS, all blackedout with crome stock rims.
We raced from 10+mph, by mid 2nd gear he was behind by a car length, about 2 lengths by the time I grabbed 3rd...I've slowned my pace to normal levels, and as usual, loosers will just continue speed away, well that's what he did.....Anyway, this guy did not have a chance. I strongly think it was v6 LS.
