The Miata was on Friday afterwork. I think it was a year 2000. It had the newest body. Not very fair b/c he had the inside lane on the on ramp to the hwy and I did'nt realize that he wanted to go :rolleyes:
But the better one was Saturday againt the Volvo T5 manual... Older guy pulls up next to me on the red and I can tell he wants to go - so I figure WTF, lets go. I used to sell these things and from what I recall they are 247hp at the crank...
So, light goes green and were off. He spooled up rather quick and had a bumper on me when I was shifting b.n 1st and 2nd (he's got longer gears). In second we were even :dunno but when I hit third, it was all over :devillook DASC went silly (full 8 psi) and I pulled on him until I shut down at the top of 3rd gear by rowing it into neutral. That T5 manny was pretty tight but still got owned :orangesle
I gave him a thumbs up and he waved as I turned off.
