lol, females aren't (in general) worth racing Hulk. But racing from a dig is a true testament to a driver's ability in general. Anyone who can't drive a manual can do a second gear race as it takes no skill. Try burning through gears from 0 to 80, when you do this if you are a better driver you can beat better cars with crappier driving

 

yeah a little spat over 30mph isnt really all that telling. you barely had time to see what would happen and if you jumped him at all.... did you give the honks by chance?

I also wonder how the kid drives. I've known younger kids who didnt know to bring it up near redline when racing. WOT and shifting at 3-4k rpm

 

They are capable of running mid 14s with an awesome driver but your average driver is more likely to run 15s. They seem to trap in the low 90s so he will probably have a few mph on you but there is no reason you could not out drive him. A well driven 3.8 could easily pull away from an RX8 that isn't driven to its potential. But the RX8 does have an advantage.
