he has the rear drive advantage though. On a roll you probably got a good shot.

I'd bet my money on the Max.

Worse comes to worse I don't think you'll loose. At worse, head to head.

But be careful, don't get in a hurry and get screwed over even more license wise with a DUI and a racing.

mods?
Even stock, I think it'll be close. You might take him by 1/4 car length if you hit all the shifts at the right time.
