4 Races today and only lost 1!

Today after getting my door fixed somewhat i drove to school and then on the way home i headed up on a main road with two lanes on each side and stoped at a light next to a really nice newer modded mustang cobra. He reved a few times in the lane next to me and then when the light turned green we both went for it. We went up to about 65MPH and i only lost by about 4 car lengths. Mines an auto and his was a manual. Then after getting on the freeway i noticed a black Integra Type R with a fart can, i got right be side him and he looked over and gave me the 3-2-1 signal and we both mashed it (at about 55MPH) needless to say he got slaughterd (10-12 car lengths). Then the other two were on another main street tonight just a about a half hour ago, a red honda civic and a blue 5spd focus. The focus was from a stop and the civic i raced both from a roll and a stop. Killed them both really bad. lol Sorry it was so long, i havent driven my car in about two weeks and felt the need to tell everyone.

I have a question, but are you sure it was 4 lengths by 65. That wouldn't be a good race, that would be him murdering you. Maybe more like 2 lengths, and even then he would still be pulling hard.

Otherwise nice runs!

no it was about 4 car lengths. I saw him today in a parking lot and waited to talk to him and he said he has a supercharger on it with a few other mods like K&N, plugs/wires, injectors and custom 4'' exhaust. Plus i noticed it was lowerd a little and had tinted windows, it looks like he put a lot of money into it.

4" exhaust, what a waste of cash, no need to go that big. If he really was SCed I believe it then. Thanks for clearing that up.

I also forgot to mention that in the race with the mustang i didn't get a really good launch wich i think would have made a little difference but still no way enought to beat him. Ya a 4'' exhaust system is way overboard! I only have a 2.5'' and it does just fine for now, but i will be upgrading to a 3'' though.
