If you're going to brag about beating another car be like me and beat him fair and square. That's like me beating a GTR because his tranny broke and claiming my car is faster and oh isn't 119 vs 105 the faster trap. In my world who cares about the faster et if it means the lower trap speed. I would take a 12.0 @122 mph car over a 11.8 @ 110mph car any day so get real. In the real world where crappy a$$ slipping on the drag strip doesn't really come into play that SRT8 would have crushed you so get over it.

But his tranny didn't break, so that's like comparing apples and oranges. I'm sorry if people put all their money into making more horsepower and don't work on traction or driving skills. It's their car so they can do what they like, but no one should complain when the lose...and in fact they lost if they didn't cross the line first in heads up racing. Heck, with bracket racing you can win with a car that has a lower trap and ET because you know your vehicle and can drive. It doesn't just go with auto racing either. When was the last time you saw a sprinter win a marathon or the Tour de France. Every race has its rules. We all compete in that context. That's the real world.
