but when a new z06 runs 200mph, it does matter. sooooooo, most of the times i would agree, but this time, sorry.

I didn't say it's not a fast car, or that it didn't have balls on the topend, but I fail to see how one guy going from 0-130 in <11 seconds means dick when you are already rolling down the road.
I've seen hondas run 13's and trap 130mph, and thats after compensating for shitty launches/ 60ft times, throw both cars on the highway, I think the race gets a bit more even.

what i dont get is that if i was there and boner was too but no one else.... how can anyone but boner and i say what actually happened. i have no reason to exagerate or lie. i knew i wasnt going to win. i told boner it might be a good race but also stated that i was mostly sure i wasnt going to be the one coming out ahead and that i just wanted to see how what i could do against one. but then again we all know... magazine racing is for real and what really happend is just speculating.

oh and on the highway roll racing, its just like supraracer has mentioned before. going from a roll pretty much eliminates traction issues and can match engine setup/performance better than racing from a dig, but racing from a dig challenges overall performance of a car. (suspension setup along with engine setup/performance.)
