SpaceNeedle,

Haha...M3 guy called!

We had about 7-8 runs, and most of the races didn't surpass 70mph because we were blowing each other away on launches. Not far from the stoplight...maddogtx and I concluded most of our battles. In my eyes we only had two instances where we both had equal launches:

1. Near the end of our outing, both maddogtx
and I had a race where we had pretty damn equal launches...I was ahead by 1/2 a car length through 1st and 2nd, then when I tried shifting into third...I hit inbetween gate 3 and 5. Darn.

2. The last race of the outing, we also had a pretty equal launch. maddogtx creeped up a car length and some around 60...and when we reached +130 MPH...I was on his bumper (car length behind).

Conclusion:

Comparing the condition of our cars last night...maddogtx's M3 and my S2000 seemed pretty damn equal when it came to drag racing on the streets. It seemed so close that whoever had a better reaction time to the light would win. And of course...the launch was the ultimate key to victory.

Good job bud. And each time you beat him, you should've posed the four fingers for four-banger sign.

Nice! Wonder what the dude will say on the IS 300 board.
