It would beat you off the line, but you'd slowly catch it up as they top out at 135 ish so you'd beat him top end no problem

You should of asked before you set the challenge

You'll loose some tyre tread at the start but depending on distance then you might do something in the way of reeling him in and depending on how big his gonads are maybe pass him..

What relish would you like with your words ....

Just make sure you tell him the race is over a long distance

Dunno how you'd fair on a rolling start say from 90 as i dont know how fast your car is but even though it's a 400 they still fooking shift.

Or he might be a complete and utter nutter with no fear or road sense

You should beat him easy enough. They arent as quick as some people think. Also if you want to make it really easy add a few corners in for fun too!!!
