215hp, sticky tires & RWD > 270hp, unknown tires and FWD. He was spinning for days. I suppose you could call it driver error if you want.

Only got up to 60mph but I since I was in front and we were in a 25 zone I figured that was enough. Yes I know he was about to pull on me. Anyone know the actual HP and 0-60 time of the MS3 off hand?

265hp 5.5-6sec

Beat him in a 40 roll on the highway and I’ll be impressed. You have a 3.0l v6 in the Crossfire, correct?

3.2 V6, but yea. I don’t want you to be impressed though, the “bahaha” in my title was because he should have won. My 0-60 is 6.5seconds.

I’ve also heard those MS3’s torque steer bad too …. probably not the most consistent 0-60 car out there.

Geez an extra .2L on my Stratus R/T and only 15 more hp...those were dark days at Chrysler.

I have friends with 400hp SRT-4 Neons who joke about just how bad the torque steer is on a Speed 3.

Well to be fair the engine came out in the ‘98 SLK, so by 2004 it wasn’t exactly state of the art. But yea not the best engine ever.

Also, it doesnt matter if its by your skill or the other person’s lack of it:

That MS3 seems a bit like my car right now, anything over 4k from a stand in first is wheelspin. Second isn’t much better. Probably need some better tires.

I think you need an atlas to find the definition of bench racing, this was IRL racing.

Seriously though, jail isn’t worth internet street cred.

I mean there is no location, photos or video posted. Just a stock photo of a MS3 and some words.

I’m running 18/45/275 in the back which is larger than stock, I think the rubber itself isn’t gripping well enough.

Yea I’m running 275 pilot super sports …. something tells me you have a bit more power too.

You had an IRL race and now you’re talking about what the cars’ 0-60 times are supposed to be according to instrumented tests performed by someone else.

As you may have guessed I’m driving a lightly modified 5.0 Mustang. It’s got Sumitomo HTZ II summers on it.

Sorry I was curious how much faster he could have been?
