Its funny your trying your hardest to justify your loss , you just lost thats it. its not because anything is wrong with your car its not because you had 150 pound passenger . The guy probally knew how to drive his car and thats it. Just because someone beat a ms3 with a driver that doesnt know how to drive in another state doesnt mean you can do it too. Everyone on here was saying our cars will rape the new mustange gt with stage 2 and i raced my buddy that knows how to drive one and he was stock and he put a couple of cars on me , its not until 130mph i flew past him and then i raced another one later on in the week and gave him about 3 cars .

chill man. as i said before, im not tryin to justify losing, i know i did. just after seein many threads on lsj's "raping" them, and bc my car was messed up not too long ago, i was seein if something could be a problem, as was the same way we figured out my car had a problem last time.

I've seen stock MS3's get pulled hard, but modded they get pretty quick. One I know, i've run him stock and worked him over pretty good, then when he got intake/exhaust, he was actually a pretty close run for me off bottle. I ran one that had an I/C, full exhaust, some other shit, and I pulled him on spray, but there is no way he would get beat by an average 2.8" pulley car.

thanks man. yeah he had catback and intake. i know there pull very well once they hit 4th and 5th, and he pulled as soon as he shifted to 4th at about 75mph.

Well, then thats about right. I know when we would run, unless he would brake boost, I would get about a car lead and just hold it there. If he did build boost first, we were basically just even.

Ooooh this is right up my alley.....Ive got every MS3 fanboi around here chasin me b/c I beat one of em then he went and got the whole squad on me!! LOL

stock MS3 246whp/280tq STOCK as per Nov 2008 Import Tuner(go pick it up)

Me Vs Stock MS3 from a dig: Rape from a roll: Rape

Me Vs MS3 w/intake and BOV mod, from a dig: Rape from a roll: Rape

Then they called in the big boy on me! LOL

MS3 w/Intake, Exhaust, Downpipe, BOV Mod, and maybe a few more things(at this point they were just tryna beat me, funniest night ever). According to the new Import Tuner w/those mods he should have been roughly at about: 272whp/310tq(and yes there intake and exhaust mods do net these guys about 30whp/tq).

From a dig: RAPE from a roll:.............. @40mph I pulled him hard but by the time we hit 80 HE WAS COMING HARD! didnt catch me till about 110(six speed FTL!) at 120 he was half a car ahead and I shut her down, high speeds aint exactly my thing.

Bottom line, race ur buddy from a dig! They're damn torque management from like 1-3gear is so restrictive u you cant help but beat em thats why they love to roll race.

I tried to keep an open mind about the new GT, went as far as test driving one w/exhaust, took it to an open road and had my way with her, I hate to say it but it just didnt have enough "balls" for me(no homo) and I wasnt really impressed.....of course w/that said please gimme the benefit of the doubt of being a good driver....salesman kept laughing at me when I was telling him the car "just wasnt fast enough," and he's like "c,mon your driving a saturn man! hahahaha etc etc" I told him if he could be my Saturn with that GT I'd take the deal and buy it($18k w/trade in)..........Im still in my Saturn

I loved that exhaust though, still have dreams about it!!!

^^^You do know they got rid of the torque management issue with a simple plug in now right? I hear you man you just wanted someone with more balls.
