I Was Taken By Surprise!

It seems to just be the way it is. Either people don't race or it's a surprise race!

I was out in the Stealth and I heard something next me revving so I automatically revved back and when I looked next to me all I could see was a huge F350 so I stopped revving.

The light turns green and it was this Saab that was hiding next to him. I didn't get a chance to launch so I floored it as soon as I saw him. He launched it pretty well, minimal wheel spin. And after I floored it he held with me until I topped first and I had started to pull ahead. Thank you damn syncros, and he pulled even again. Same deal with second. He held until the top. When I shifted to third, this time with no syncro complaints, and I just walked away and then he gave up.

I was really surprised. Second good race I've had in the car minus the syncro issues. I want to know who that was and what he had done to his car as that was pretty cool.

Sounds like you may need some syncro mesh Polygon. I've never had any problems with mine but if they start to give me any trouble I am sure I will add some. Good race.

Yeah, it's done this since I bought it. This spring/summer all the drivetrain fluids are getting changed. If there's no improvement I'll just get a 25 spline setup and a torsen center diff and ditch that stupid VCU.

Good race! I was actually thinking about a Saab 9-3 Aero for a bit, kinda quirky and fun but pretty quick. However, with a non existant after market, and a price that rivaled a base level 335i sedan, I backed out. Quirky and fun has its draw backs.
