Well if your car is as quick as BEETROOT's, you should hold your own.

win or loss i think it would be badass... just think if we had the turbo and intercooler those guys are making and was putting down 450 whp and going against that thing from a roll.. i think we would hold up pretty good.

I've been itching to line up next to a G35c since the day I got my car. No less than 5 times I saw my chance but couldn't switch lanes to make it happen. EVERY time it was some POS SUV that was blocking my path to glory!

So you are a glutton for punishment.

I would leave most of those at trying from a roll. I can think of a few of those that would end up being a down right raping of you on a road course.

What can I say except that I love challenges. I realize in most of the scenarios with probably every car; except maybe the rolling start; I would have as much a chance of success as a snowflake in hell would have... Never the less, it would be interesting and serve as a good benchmark against my car.

Of course...I actually tried a while back but due to circumstances never got to race. either there was snow on the ground, I had a bubble in my tire, or the guy blew his motor (he sandbagged a little and then came out telling me all the stuff he had done to his car...a high 12 GTP). Let me know and we can run and then grab a beer or something:

http://www.massclubgp.com/viewtopic.php?t=1291&start=75

Send me a PM here if you are interested....that massgp site is a little slow so I don't check it much.

edit - Oh and I noticed you ran a 13.9@99, so to make it fair we should do it from a roll (and a stop just to see how I do).
