To begin with you did very well ! The whole top up or down issue is one of great importance, if you had your top down you would of lost by 2 more car lengths, thats a fact! Also, if you were below 60 mph, second gear would of been a better choice! The Z has a little more pep on the top but it is very much a drivers race! Being that the Z had more mods done its not hard to see why he got you the further the race proceeded. Once again you did very well and that Z owner knows it as well !

Wrong! Torque has nothing to do with top end. The Z has better aerodynamics and more pulling power.

Agreed, torque is more important off the line, up top its hp you need.
