So tonight I challenged two other drivers and myself decided to do a standing mile drag race. Went from a dead stop to a one mile distance on a highway. Won't say where obviously. My car obviously, a 08 G8 GT with a 100 shot of nitrous and a livernois tune. Car 1, Dodge Challenger SRT8 Yellow Jacket Edition. Car 2 was a highly modified Chevy Cobalt Turbocharged. Claims it was in the 450whp range. Anyway we bet $400 a race. Challenger and I went first while the cobalt waited near the finish line. I was honestly decently nervous especially betting that much money on it. But we started from a standstill on a pretty much arrow straight highway. Off the line to what was about 100mph he was ahead. He was starting to pull away around then and I didn't think I was going to catch him so I went fast and furious on him and sprayed my 100 shot. I held it until I pulled ahead of him. Probably beat him by only two lengths. One nerve wracking adrenaline pumping race for sure. He was a man of his word and paid up the full $400. The cobalt kid left and refused to race us but said he would post up his short clip on the cobalt forum so once he does I'll link it here.
