99saleen, I would have liked to have a go against you in my (now expired) S281E. Boosted, we made almost exactly the same rwhp. Yeah, I remember seeing that vid posted before. Very cool stuff. -And nice car, 99.

Not to hate on the Saleen but I have been behind two cars much faster than mine and as long as you're drifting then you have a lot of power in reserve, which is what it looks like in this case. Looked like he was drafting then punched it and went around. Just my opinion. Great video though.

DRAFTING?!?! You HAVE to be kidding!! Right?
In the first clip, he was WAY out of their slipstream when he ran up on their cornhole. Same in the second. Didn't nothing get him around those two but raw, undaulterated horsepower. Why are there always haters?
Have to agree with this one. That Saleen wasn't even in the airstream, as if he needed it to manage a flyby anyways.
