Well it had to happen, I had my first race today against a 05 Fiji Blue SI with CF hood and some body kit. I was pulling out of the gas station on my way home and he pulled out of the McDonalds drivethru right behind me. I just drove normal with him behind me until a passing lane came and punched it to pass the slow mover in front of me. (under the speed limit by 10) He punches it and sticks on my bumper like glue. All I could see in my rearview was his hood. I saw that the road in front of me was clear and stayed on it up to about 110, he stuck to me like I was towing him.
A mile or so ahead, the road widens into two lanes in either direction just past a light and it's a non residential non traffic road. So I changed lanes to let him pull next to me and give him the nod. The light turns and we launched, I heard him spinning his tires some and I just stayed on it shifting at 7900 we raced up to about 95 MPH before the next light came. I had him by 2 car lengths. He pulled up next to me at the light and I rolled down my window to say hello and he procedes to tell me that this was the first time he's ever lost to an 06 SI. He asked what I'd done to the car and I told him, nothing just an intake. He tells me he's got a Jackson Supercharger and re-iterates how he's never lost to an 06 before. We then complimented each other on our cars then drove off as the light changed.
Now, Unless the Jackson kit doesn't make that much power on a 05 SI I'd say either his car isn't running right or he needs to brush up on his driving. More than likely it's his car but he stuck to me like glue earlier so his car is fast maybe it's just not quick. Dunno.
Thoughts?
