im sorry... it HAS to be driver... i "lost" to a 96 lt1 vette by about 1/2 a car. it was auto, my friend was driving it, its his dads. he never went much past 75% throttle, and never really nailed it. he did it just because he didnt feel like wasting more gas than he had to. i also do the same. (19mpg from a 4 cyl is kinda rough)
also by saying that you dont strip your car so you know what it does on the street is... well... BS. the track surface and the street surface are sooo different its not even funny. theres such a world of differences.
coming from experience.. when someone in a SUV, civic, anything else tries to race me, i do one of 2 things.. pace them.. holding myself 1/2 a car in front of them just to toy with them, or not race them. remeber when you have a car with power(those flowmasters on the mustang added more power than your intake/exaust combo... trust me) you can go easy and still beat people. i really didnt wana bust your balls over this, because i know how good i feel if i beat a car i know is racing when i thought i'd loose, but you have to remeber, you drive an SUV, and no one thinks your going to race. its not a car designed for speed. personaly wouldnt race you if i had no clue you did any work to your car... i'd shrug it off.
this is the same senario as me saying i beat a ferrari. they run high 12's low 13's stock... i run 15.0 stock, and have enough mods to drop me .75-1 second off my time. if i posted about how i beat a ferrari.. i'd get more BS flags than i needed to start my own country.
please dont take this as me being an ass.. im just telling you my veiws.
