oh okay... i am just a little skeptical...especailly since i cant launch this car all that well... I dont know why... In the skyline u just rev to where ever and literally DROP the clutch...and off she goes...This car... Its like you gotta slip it off at like 4 or 5k i guess.... just not that good at slipping first gear... yeah know.
If it was a Highway run from like a rolling start would i have a better chance.

Good luck with what sounds like an ambitious project.

After the skyline i have just one arm and leg left...so why not use them for the porsche...sure will make me smile...

Sounds like you need some therapy or maybe just maturity. You'll find that as you grow up and begin shaving, impressing YOURSELF is more important that impressing others. I have raced for pinks many times, but never when I did not know the competition inside and out. And yes, I was very inmature then, too, but it was long before I was 24. Let it go.
Try becoming victorious over you own ego.....it's a greater feeling.

hell i dont care who impress...if you ever meet me thats one thing u realize off the bat....Its just something i wouldnt mind doing...this person has talked CRAP for years...literally...he would never race any of my cars and finally someone the other day just said i bet robs porsche would kill the stang...so thats how it all started... For me i could care either way...just if i race i want to win...as that would impress me... That a person with such a big mouth was told to step up and when doing so he got told to shut up after lossing... But i know what your saying.. I usually dont do immature stuff... just this is one of those things...

Throw 5-6 K at it and see what he does? Make sure you do this in person so you can make a read on him.

Knowing this fool he will back down to a cash for cash race for like 10 to 20k... which is GREAT...cause when i win... as i know i will... i can buy us all around of drinks...LOL...

So you are hoping he back's down so you can be a "poser"? Give it up! If it about pride, why is there money involved. Just race him for bragging rights rather than trying to scare him off (which sounds like your prefer so you don't have to chance losing).
