It was either the 2001 or 2006 I'm not sure which, to me they look alike.. power difference isn't really huge it's 475 vs 517 hp and 516 vs 531 lbft.. other than that it's the same 5.4 liter supercharged V8 and same weight.
He was alone I had a passenger, we did 3 runs, 1 roll and 2 digs..
Roll first, dead even up to ~130 mph. What happened there is he jumped like a fender because he hit it first but I took the fender back and stayed dead even till the end.
Dig next, road was like glass where we started, no way I could launch without ESP so I had it on the whole time. Not that I had any better luck with it, kept flashing for what it seemed like forever, but luckily the Merc went WOT just a blink of an eye before I got on 3rd so basically his traction advantage wasn't nearly as enormous. He jumped about 2 cars but I kept him there the whole time up to more or less the same speed as the roll.
Then it was another dig, this time he got off the line like a fucking rocket. These cars are supposed to do 0-60 in under 4.6 (definitely the 2006 model.. 2001 is maybe like 3 tenths slower but still under 5).. he put 4 cars on me but at least I held him there the whole time like before.
So basically it was only a matter of traction, because speed wise we were pretty much even, although I did have a passenger so at least I could have pulled maybe a car in the roll that we did first.. but that probably wouldn't have been enough to reel him in when we did the 2 digs, would've been closer is all. These are my conclusions. I'm happy all in all, after all I'm still stage 1.. and there's so little I can do about traction so I don't have to worry about that.. it is what it is..
..FWD racecar :biggrin:
