Nice kill, I like how he cuts you off when the lanes merge :/

Yea i was equally surprised by that. I thought we were just going to both let off and i saw him speed up after the merge sign...oh well

I was doing power to weight ratios the other day of various cars...K04 GTI is basically faster than most sports cars of recent years.

Not sure if this is sarcasm but there is alot of truth here.

I make roughly 1 horsepower per 8lbs of weight (7.6lbs if I can run 93). Do the math on alot of high end cars and youll see those numbers are quite competitive. For example my buddy's 2012 ZL1 makes 1hp per 7.24lbs when on 93 fuel. This LS2 Vette is dead even with me; as are the new generation 5.0 (8.11 on them).

If youre doing roll races and know exactly how your power band flows youre in good shape
