I don't understand...
Is there something wrong with my car? My friend's Si he claims he has done 14.8, and my car's best time was 15.2... I raced against him and I beat him by about 1 car... (This was from a roll) NOT in the street.

So later on I race a Mini Cooper S and he beat me by 1 car... How is this possible!? I mean I don't know if the Cooper is stock but those cars don't have much aftermarket so I am assuming it is. I have an AEM Intake only.

Both races of course were doing on authorized close roads.

Racing from dig, and racing from a roll are 2 different things. just because you can beet a car from a dig, dosnt mean you can always beet one from a roll.

Yes the guy's looked liked a 2007, or 2008 I know they are turbo, but the stats shows is slower... I also beat the Si running from a dig, by about a car and a half.

Apparently you suck at launching at the track then. What would be wrong with your car? You've already claimed that you beat your buddy from a dig/roll, so obviously nothing is wrong except your driver mod.

Also, if the Cooper S is running 15.1 in the mags... and you're running 15.2... what is so astonishing about losing to the Cooper? Again, maybe he's a better driver than you or maybe he's modded. The Coopers have plenty of aftermarket btw. What FI motor doesn't?
