Default Focus ZX3 vs. S2000

My buddy just purchased a bright red ZX3, which I admit, isn't as bad as I had initially thought it would be. Well anyway, we decided to run from about a 5 mph roll all the way up to about 100 mph. 1st gear-we stay pretty much even. Slam into second, hear a very small chirp from my rear tires and I pull maybe a half car length. 3rd gear, I pull another half car length. 4th gear, I pull another car. 5th gear, another car. 6th, another car lenth or 2. So all in all, I pulled about 5 lengths on him.

His car is bone stock, 5 speed with about 9k on the odo. I have an Injen CAI, and a Spugen cat back, with about 38k on the odo.

Good race.

Did I mention I was shifting at 6k?

You guys should have known something was up in the first paragraph. 5-100mph and I was using all six gears!

It was a fun night, should have gotten a video. Oh well, maybe next time.

Wait...

If the Focus had a Skyline Motor, with a boost controller, synthetic oil, Mugen stickers, a few ACME strap-on rockets and launched out of the hole with a huge rubber band stretched between 2 trees with over a million pounds of force... it'll take the S2000!!!
