The first time by 1.5 car lengths, and the 2nd time by at least 2.
The guy had no idea what the difference between an SRT-6 and a stock Xfire was, and fully expected to win. At the end I could not help but telling him it was a stock crossfire (which is semi-true) and to go tell all the pontiac boys what just happened.
What a rush. This is my first sports car, and I think one could safely say I'm hooked.
The '04 regular coupe I had for a few years would stay right on an '04 GTO's bumper up to about 70 MPH, then he would slowly pull away. I also played with a few '05 - '06 Mustang GT's, I could stay right with them but couldn't pass them. I've never had the chance to do any little street race with my SRT6 yet, I've been waiting for someone to pull up beside me and give it a shot.
