    my best race yet

    i just raced a 2015 veloster turbo from a dead stop to about 125mph. we took off & my front tires were smoking i could see him coming up on me in the left corner of my eye then i banged second gear and a little more tire spin and i got him about a half car length.

    then i hit 3rd gear and was ahead by about a car length, then i shifted into 4th and was only about a little over a car length ahead. my gps showed 128 when i let off. ive heard those will run 150mph.

    i was in barbie car b6t @15psi rocketman ecu and stock tranny with spec stage 2 clutch

          he was cool and gave me the thumbs up. i figured i would be lots faster but maybe the tire spin slowed me a little

            Wonderful rush to appear to be piloting a housewife car and thoroughly surprise some cat that believed that he owns something peppy. Festy: the ultimate Q ship. You knew what was in there but likely as not he's been scratching ever since and is gonna be headed for his shop or tuner to say "Do something about this; a lousy Swift, Metro, or was it a GD Festiva, passed me on the road today".

                Danny, how do you like the Spec clutch? I'll be running essentially the same setup you have in Barbie car but haven't finalized my clutch selection. Do you have the Festiva clutch or the Metro one?
