Of course, you'd get to drive home in a Crossfire regardless the outcome, so you still win.
+1... I once ran vs. a 13 second Civic in bracket racing (not in the xF)... I heard a raspy fartcan exhaust and thought he was all talk with his 13.2 dial-in, so I didn't take the run seriously... he had already caught up and blown by me before we hit 660 ft... That was ugly.
I agree with "driving home in a Crossfire", but I hear that excuse way too many times from fancy car owners to justify a loss. Would you accept that excuse if you just put bus lengths on a BMW 750i that was actually trying?
