Default Sexima Vs Lincoln LS

For my trip to the track this friday, a friend of mine decided he wants to come along to see what his silly Lincoln LS 6cyl auto can do...

He somehow thinks that he can hold up with my Maxima, and knowing that i can do a pretty good job launching, and he donesnt know how to launch I have made a little bet with him that I will beat him by over a second on the 1/4mi.

His girlfriend has a V8 Lincoln LS, and they both think that i would have no chance against it.... Some peoples kids i tell ya....... Im hoping that she comes along with her V8 so i can show them what slow, heavy cars they have!!!

This is the same guy that thought the GTO is the fastest GM production car? And that a Pontiac Vibe that drove down the street was a Torrent... lol

I'm pretty sure that V6 he has in that Lincoln is rated well below what you have under your hood. lol

Now the V8 Lincoln LS I'd like. But both are damn heavy.

He seems like a really nice guy. Some of the things he said about various cars even I was surprised to hear.

I put $50 on the Sexima.
