Why do GTO's not want to race me?? (or not want to race you?)
ill never understand why people say rwd > fwd (tho i tend to agree in most situations). a properly driven fwd can launch JUST as good as a rwd car. sure the fwd might need a bit more suspension work or tires, but ive seen PLENTY of cars out launch a rwd car and vice versa. everything comes down to driver
and SK360 automatically assumes i cant drive.

oops... look how bad my launching is...
(incase you dont know **** about the new BMW's... they launch HARD AS ****) and yes he was in sport mode

if u wanna use that logic...a lot of the gto owners are kids who cant drive for **** either. it can go both ways. the days of one drivetrain setup being better than another is slowly coming to an end, at least imo. tho, ill readily admit id rather have a rwd srt4 than a fwd....no, check that, id rather have awd then both of the other ones
Win the race, lose at life........that sounds about right........
I've gone to a few car meets that were not organized (i.e. gathering to race). If I had some punk asking me to race, I'd just look at him as if he were a tool and think to myself, "I'm a little flattered that this idiot thought I had a bad ass enough ride that he wanted to measure his eco-box up against some real muscle, but instead I think I'll just politely decline because I'm at the maturity level where I don't have to prove myself to every Tom, DICK, and Harry. I bet that car's real popular with the young putt-putt and Chuck E Cheese crowd."

if you would like to do a speed limiter removed standing mile.. find a mile long runway and ill provide the stock GTOs... untill then.. stock ls1 gtos run faster times.. you lose..
e.t's yes no question he is most likely talking about racing one froma roll where his 106 trap might come into play a little more
awd is nice to a point but in the end just is extra weight and it sucks power.

sadly, not everyone wants power. for the general public, i think awd is much better than both fwd and rwd..each has their niche tho and each has there +'s and -'s
not making excuses for him, but 35 is a bad spot to roll race in an A4 gto.. the tranny will NOT downshift to 1st at that point, but rather wind out second, unless tuned
but it wont... ls1 gto's can trap 107+ at ~0.7 faster.. so wheres the argument.
sure an ls1 wont turn out a 107 trap every run.. but neither will he
and syp some people are not 19 years old and have day jobs and pay for things

here in AZ.
i never deny stop races... i dont give a **** either way..
I just happen to race ppl from rolls in my videos.. i do not choose that.
BUT to make it fair... i would like to get 3 races..
Dig, roll(30 to 40?), and highway pull
