With a 2.2 60ft. The longer the distance, the more of a gap he'd put on me.

It would be a rare exception to see this car in n/a bolt on form to be the equal of an fa20DIT or EJ257/255 car driven by someone who either knows how to launch awd or is ready to bet their driveline on putting you in their rearview. And when the temperature dips below freezing, if they've deleted the egt heater it's crazy.

And please don't misunderstand; our cars can be pretty quick, just not quite that much so easily. With the exception of someone running a crazy high diff ratio haha

Until traffic prevented going any further or about 75mph.

Other times have been with e85 on the freeway up to 120-125. But driving skill is a bigger factor there. Although both of those claimed to have stage2Cobb tunes.
