if Horatio is wrong, then I don't wanna be right....

Why don't they just race, and then you could start up a thread about it?

i actually think it will be pretty close. if he has decent tires the nitrous' torque boost should give him a decent start even with an auto tranny. i think the SI will win once u get into 3rd tho, ive heard they pull pretty hard there.

it will be very close. HB are very light and with the nitrous he almost makes the same power as you.... but he has an automatic. Mmm, I would probably back the Si

If you think you're gonna win, you already lost.

Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life. That doesnt even make sense, thats a far too general statement. For example, I am going to get into a fight with a 1 year old.. an infant. I know I am going to win, and indeed I shall!
