You need to figure out how you can hit them both at the same time. Bet them if you win, they have to buy you dinner, then a couple drinks, a couple more, back to your place..... huh, huh...

I wouldn't waste my Z's gas to race the 350.It might be a good match for my 03S2K.

Its a "race" that's not worth the gas you're going to use.

A 9 or 10 can be compared to leaving your vette in a walmart parking lot. Someone will always be trying to get inside of it!

@angman5, I'd go for an 8.9 then :P

@99alvette, tell her you will race her but if you win you get her girl as prize and if you lose, she gets your vette.
