Yes, it must HAVE, and you could HAVE sworN, and he must HAVE missed a gear.

I suspect he didn't change down a gear or two, or the run didn't last very long.

He is an evil etymologist from the land of....Dictionary. He scours the planet searching for would be linguists, and sends forth fires of sibilant rich lava....enough to bring any lackadaisical keyboard warrior to his or her knees.

Especially when they use OF instead of HAVE.




SO DON'T DO IT!!!!!

With your mods quite normal that he would do little more than creep on you. If you stretched it out well beyond 120mph he'd start to increasingly gain momentum on you but provided you drove out your skin below this then it would be as you describe.

You have to remember that the T1-R knocks a good second off your 0-100mph time compared to the stock car.
