07 SS/SC vs. Turbo Mazda Speed3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is probably one of the funniest challenges I've ever had. On the way home this guy pulls up next to me on the highway. We're already doing about 65mph and he nudges his car like he wants to go so, having no patience for people like that I give a signal to go. So, I wait for him to make his move and he actually had a good head start. But, that didn't last long I closed in on him and past him kinda quick. I slowed down again to see if he wanted to try again he just looked over and waived his head no.

Maybe its the big wing that attracts challenges

Do these things come stock turbo or was it something he just put in?

How the hell did he run a 1.9 60', and then run ~14.5 based on your best 14.4? Something doesn't make sense. I can't even see him running a 1.9 without drag radials.

So you made up 4/10 of a second and ran him down with a trap speed of 98mph? This just doesn't make much sense unless he broke. If a MS3 has you by 4/10 by 60ft, and you can't trap higher than 100mph, I just don't see you comming close to running one down from that point.

Basically, the MS3 had the RL by 2 car lengths at 60ft. Since most MS3's trap 98-101mph, the RL would probably need a trap speed of ~102-103mph.

Essentially what I am saying that if the driver in the MS3 cut a 1.9 second 60 foot time, he is very good driver. The last 1260 feet of the 1/4 mile are going to be basically cruise control for him. That being said, the MS3 has obviously proven itself to be very fast as speeds increase. To be able to run one down after being 2 car lengths back and only trap 98mph, tells us that something happened to to MS3.
