shifting at 8 or 8.2k on an AP 1 of course you`d have no chance.

Yeah, WTF?!?!?! Why even bother going that high if your not gonna get the most out of the car's powerband. 200 RPM's can make you lose momentum, imagine 800 or a 1,000... Come on now..

If he had StopTech brakes, he was not stock which would explain the outcome. Otherwise you would have been reeling him in hard. I should mention I have both cars, so I kind of know.

Rolls are only good with coffee.

At the end of the day, you can still put the top down. Just turbo yours and there will be a different outcome.
