sorry both 5 speeds

Both 5-speeds?

I think you will edge him out with ease...

But you have to launch and drive it decently...

Practice some launches ont he street...

Rev up the motor, ride the clutch a little once you get moving a little, let the clutch out a little faster and floor it.

keep practicing you are going to want ZERO spinning of the wheels, then when you go to the track rev it up a little higher at the track because you will get alot better traction at the track.

Any chance you knwo how to powershift? I also think this woudl be a good time to do it.

Also I woudl clean out your car as best you can, maybe consider taking out your jack and spare.

When it comes to racing friends heads up at the track, you pull every trick out of your butt to win [img]smile.gif[/img]
