05 SS/SC vs Lexus SC430

At 120 Km/hr we dropped it. I had to back off a touch cause a car was switching lanes in front of me. I was a car length behind at 150 but gained and rode his a$$ at 190. I swear i could have pulled up but was stuck in the lane. I bet he was pissed.

60 MPH is 100 Km/h. So 190 is close to 115 MPH.

A friend of mine has an 05' Acura TL. He wanted to race me last week so we did & I easily beat him. He took off before me but I quickly caught him & continued pulling away from him up to about 125 mph (had to stop for an upcoming light). I thought his car would be faster, though it is an automatic so he doesn't have control over the shifting. I think his car has about 275 hp.

or just take the km/k and times by 0.62

which is easy to remmeber because you know 100km/h = 62mph (0-100 / 0-62)

They are 258hp (in the new hp ratings) My brother in-law has one. At the track he is only 0.2 faster then my 5 speed 2.4L SS (3mph faster though) Its real dog off the line. 2.5 sec 60ft times

But I want a rematch cause now I think the engine is broken in a bit more.
