Re: First real race!
I've outrun Hemi Magnums, Chargers and a Ram RumbleBee at the drag strip in my PT Cruiser Turbo. My personal best in the PT is a 14.4 second pass, which should actually beat my Crossfire in a heads up race.
But...... I know from a 40mph roll the Crossfire feels a lot faster than my PT. A friend of mine has lightly modded PT that runs consistant 14.0 in the 1/4 so it's obviously quicker in that discipline than my Crossfire, but I had a feeling that from a roll I could still take him. Sure enough, we both did a road course day on the infield course at California Speedway and I followed him on our first lap. We came out of the final series of corners doing about 50mph and entered the front straight.
I passed him and then I walked away from him.
He was shocked.
