I just looked at the specs and did some quick calculations. (Quick, not accurate lol) It looks like you should have him, if you're using an 85 shot. That being said, right now its just paper racing, so it doesn't mean much. And secondly, you'll be pushing it with a shot that big.

Ehh, just do it and post up.

Im pretty sure the o.p. meant 3.2 not 2.3...i believe all tls from at least 2000 m.y. on are 3.2 besides the 2007+ type s which is a 3.5

the question is can you launch your car hard with out spining to bad and if you can you will put buses on him from a dig and if he does catch you it will take a while at that rate
