And possibly someone else in the process,or your license suspended one good time! Take it from somebody who's had their's suspended!

EDIT:Not saying that I have'nt been guilty of the same thing in the past (hence the suspended license comment)

You could put a pushrod motor in it and outrun him with ease

Hey, you've got to feed that horsepower with something.

Besides, maybe if you had a pushrod motor, you could've gotten into the 10's.

Yeah, but I had less than 400hp in all of 1st gear.

Besides, I don't think he ever even came close to my trap speed which means he was using all of his power... I still have a lot left in my ET.
