drag racing the smart tomorrow VS 996 turbo.

so heres the game plan. I decided i might splurge on that new chip and figured i would get the community some drag times before and after on a stock Smart fortwo.

But that wouldn't be fun only now would it....

I decided to get my buddy to come out with a modded 996 turbo Porsche. Car has a Unitronic chip on it + fabspeed exhaust and a host of suspension goodies. Last time out the car ran 11.3 @ 121 MPH if i recall right.

We have a small funny bet on this but heres the game plan. We are negotiating a head start time similar to pinks. As in he lets me go and takes of 5 seconds later or something. i currently am asking for a 9 second head start. I have no looked at the Smart Fortwo 1/4 mile time nor do i want to. I just want to feel this one out.

So Who thinks I'm right or wrong? Should i ask for more of a head start?

Videos will be taken of the whole ordeal to make sure no cheating was involved (or rather laugh our asses off repeatedly after the date)

I'd ask for a 1/4 mile head start and negotiate from there.

I've seen pinks over here in Britain, are you going with the programme and actually racing for pinks, not really a fair contest, your mates got a bit more to loose
Sound like fun though, will be looking forward to the vids.
