That's what my thought was. Good kill nonetheless.

Very nice... Good kill, not even close, initially, I thought you jumped the gun, but watching it a few times, it looked like he had nothing for ya. THAT being said, 15 years ago, I was doing this all day long, but I have come to learn, allot of innocent people are killed by doing this drag racing on the street stuff, and I have turned many people away wanting to race on the street. Just my .02 cents. Again, I have done this hundreds of times years ago, but in my now more mature years, wont risk hurting someone else. Not trying to ruin a great video, road kill and thread, just advising to be careful, we never mean to wreck, but allot can happen out there, and would you be able to live with yourself killing an innocent child or anyone for that matter.

Definitely had the advantage but, after both cars were to speed he wasn't catching so (actually appeared to lose more ground)...doubt the outcome would change.

^ Same here. Even tho I'm guilty. I went out 1 time last year to street race in the GTR, that was it. I used to do it every dang weekend. But, I don't begrudge anyone else doing it. I think it's just in the blood of some if not most Americans to race. Anytime, any place, anywhere. Anyhow, good video.
