    Gtp Daytona vs. 2001 vw passat 4 motion

    Raced a friend of mine yesterday. Took off from a stop, he had me off the line, I had traction control off and I got a little excited so I floored it and spun. At this point he was a car and a half in front of me. I hooked up and reeled him in. We shut down at about 75 which I was ahead by about...
