OK well....maybe he got a slow one? You know how Mopars are....
;-)
I did get a small jump on him and it sure sounded like he was trying pretty hard to catch me.
They are heavy cars and I'm not sure how their 0-60 acceleration numbers compare to a stock GN or one running a couple extra lbs of boost with an edgy driver.
Humor me for a minute...
Say I was making about 300HP at my 16 lbs of boost. I weigh around 3500. He's making 425 and weighs 4200+
They say for every 10HP you gain a 10th in acceleration and for every 100 lbs you loose a 10th.
I'll need to get out a calculator too go any further...but somewhere in the middle there, I think he and I match up close enough to my side of the fight winning....especially if a get a jump and he's carrying any extra weight or trying some mid grade out to save a buck....
