How can u assume my car can't hang with one on the highway... Oh yeah i forgot, you drive my car and had numerous rides in it. My bad...

Don't be so close minded!



lol...i don't doubt that u beat him...but you're wrong when u say 1/4 mile times have nothing to do with highway racing....a 1/4 mile race isn't just about off the line performance..that would be 1/8mile times.... how could u assume i've never driven an h22 hatch...ive driven h22 frankenstein hatches, even h22 turbo hatches...im not unfamiliar w/ your kind.... now can i ask u if you've driven a vette?.... if you have..you would know that they do extremely well on the highway, and it'll take more than a high 13 sec car to pull on one.... "don't be so ignorant of other cars"... also...being that your car has an h22, i'll assume u have the prelude tranny as well.... even then, your car can't top out much higher than 140mph.... at that top speed, a vette will continue to pull on your ass while u hit rev limit....
