If he has a full battery charge and you get a ton of wheelspin, maybe.

Think I should be safe and take him to the track for this? Or should I just race him on the street?

I was amused when he 'challenged'!

But trust me, when he gets old enough to post on ANY forum, THE FIRST THING I will teach him is not to post about stupid 'what if' races and either just do it to find out or don't get into ego racing at all.

Off the line those "Good-Year" plastic tires will spin like hell, you should take him just accelerating normally.

Although that "JEEP" has couple thousand pounds of weight advantage over your Max, you should be able to gain about 50 cars on him after you pass quarter mile mark, since you have a 5spd

Take it to the track, it will take corners like nobody's business with those Stiff suspensions (OR no suspension at all)


For $180 IT WILL GIVE YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY!

When he gets old enough to read this forum, he'll probably decide to buy something else other than a Max.,"the japanese version of the Yugo".

Funny thing is, I can see him playing on a forum within about 3 years (not with a great deal of knowledge, but the technical skill to log in and move around)...yeah, he very well could be flaoting around the 6th Gen forum!!
