first race=first loss

So i raced my friend in my parents 1987 3.0 liter 6 cylinder turbodiesel mercedes wagon and he was is in his modern v6 jetta.
We jumped on it at the same time as we got on the highway and the farthest he got away was 2-3 buslengths we went to about 110-115.
I am suprised he didnt just disappear forever so i guess chalk one up for a learning experience(aka a loss)

Re: first race=first loss

I'm not sure if 110-115 is the smartest thing to do so soon in your license and car career

But hey, at least your car is somewhat related to one of the greatest MB cars of all time, the DTM Mercedes Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II.

No, you're saturn is a lot further away from the ZO6 than his 190D is from the DTM, but whatever, I was just trying to make him feel better.

Are there any tuners that do diesel? I mean, in Europe they're pretty popular....I would think someone would realize the potential market.

That race was to be kind of expected.

Young, how did you lose to an integra? Mechanical failure, personal failure or was it just very well modded Honda?
