[QUOTE]your mate in his turbo must of just been a nice guy and not tell you he wasn't looking and changing cds at the time... oh, wait on!! nah i take that back, you'd be talking about traffic light races.. so in that case then yes you probably did win for the distance of the race.. as the vlt was probably stuck behind with wheelspin.[QUOTE] mate im not gonna bother wit ya until ya line ya self up against me and then we will c whos gonna be baggin who out!! and once again my mate said **** u went hard against me!!!

But arent you saying the exact same thing except about your car? Maybe you havent lined up against a decent XF. I get so many dreamers trying to race me in NA Vl's its become annoying. I bet they all go and tell their mates how they kicked my arse. But then again, I was probably the same when I was younger.

smgreen87.. tell your mate in the vlt to fix his car then.. i've toyed with a stock vlt before, his was auto and mine was manual.. he gunned it next to me, and i watched and admitted my n'a would have nothing on it.. So if you wanna stick with your story, you can, but I don't and alot of people probably won't believe it unless there were problems with your mates vlt.

My first car was a n/a vl then i brought a vlt i still have my n/a and its immaculate still like the day i brought it, auto n/a's r very slow i got beaten buy vn's, onwards and eb's onwards the only cars i beat were 4cyl, old 6cyl fords, some r31's and some other n/a vl's i find it pretty hard for a auto n/a to beat vn's but manual n/a r diffrent story they would have a better chance, but at the end of the day dont waste money on a n/a, get experriance, save up and buy a turbo.

Ive had a traffic sprint with a R33 GTS skyline auto, fark he must'nt know how to drive it, cause we both stalled up and were exactly dead even until the next light, aboot 100ms. He must'nt of been trying, but it made me feel good. I have a auto too. Also beaten, VL NA 5speeds VN NA V6 Lancers Mirages Excels, like any of the last 3 cars are something to brag aboot. Suzuki Gti's Civic eg hatch 92 Starlet turbz, old style Pulsar N13's The list gos on, but plently of them have beaten me numerous times, my car is actually pretty slow, i only beat them when we pass 80kph.
