He should have killed you, imo. The fox body's are ~ 300lbs lighter than you car, and if he was running correctly that combo should be good for ~ 250rwhp/300+rwtq, which is a definite edge over a I/H 5AT CL-S.
Was he auto or 5 speed, cuz that makes a huge difference.
Anyways, good kill

Ah ok. I was thinking that but i wasn't totally sure.
