MX-3 vs FORMULA TBI

the other night on the way to the pool hall me and my buddy decided to race since he just got his MX-6 2.5L put into his MX-3, i hadnt seen how fast his car was yet and i was hoping my bone stock formula would take him, i pulled along side him and dropped to 3rd and so did he, we took off and i stayed with him for about 5mph, then he started pulling away, it pissed me off but then i thought about all the money he put into his car and i thought about the 3k i spend buying my car and putting no mods on yet, after i drop in my LT1 we will race again and he is gunna get POUNDED!!!!

Race him again from a stop...you should be able to take him off the line. You'll probably lose...but you can be winning for a little while at least.

There was this girl at school last year who had an mx3 and about once a month she would back out of her spot without looking and try to back into me. So now i associate mx3s with bad things. Oh well. Take him next time.

well he did beat me for good reason, he has more horsepower and his car weighs WAY less, i got 170 HP and he has 200+HP so there was good reason, and believe me freestyle i wanna get rid of this shyte engine ASAP! make me so unhappy that i could lose a race to imports
