Don't get me wrong, for Todd's car to keep up with a vette is impressive to say the least, but its just that, keeping up.

BTW so I don't hear any spooling excuses, todd got me off the line by a car length do to me spinning tires, so by the time I caught I know he spooled and I came back and passed him.
Hey, I made no excuses. After 7 consecutive runs. No mention of the first 2 runs when I walked right by you. But its all good. The mighty C5 had its day over the Lexus with half the displacement and running a 10lb wastegate. I know where my weakness lie.

I was there for all 7 runs, Todd won 2 of the runs on Merrick Aveune, the 1 run behind SYMS space was to tight so I wouldn't count that race....the best run being on Oak street when both cars were actually able to open up at full throttle, althought Stef won that race Todd was inches off his bumper. plus Todd had a extra body in his car Stef didnt.....and Todd had better rubber and Stef didn't.. little things play a key role on how a car performs...so a best out of 3 races would be a good match-up..

Okay so still out of the 2 runs on a short distance with no room to open up, one when I threw my car out of drive by acciedent, and the other when my car was going sideways. Everytime I caught traction, I won 5times.

Basicly I have a perfect solution to all this. We can do a captree run all the way to top speed. Its all sraight road, and no traffic. We can go wednesday night, what's up?

To be impartial a 10psi 2.5L engine falls a little short of overcoming a 5.7 LS1 - I think if you up the boost on a 1JZ you have a good chance, but as is I think you caught Stef offguard.
