Question Question............Please Respond.........Very Simple

Me and my boy was talking about this guy and his Mercedes E320 and how him and my TL would make a good race. My car is stock and his car has one mod.........K&N Filter. Should I or should I not, for the sake of the TL's pride, race this Kat????? Need a good suggestion. I feel I could kick his ass but only real-time figures count now.

The Battle:

1999 Mercedes E320 w/K&N filter vs. 2000 ACURA 3.2 TL
Stock

Go for it. You should win in your TL since his car is a fat pig.

If I recall correctly, Bigman recently had a drag race. PM him for tips on how to get a good launch. He mentioned something about stepping on the brakes and revving the engine to 2000 rpm to get a jumpstart (?). Use sportshift, definitely. Good luck.

Yeah i'm not sure the E320 is a heavy ride, But it packs a pretty nice punch for a ride of its size. But if you jump off the line before he does you'll take him.. i think that whoever wins will just win slightly.
