Default I put my cherokee in shame!

Alrighty, like an hour ago i was at my buddies house and we got bored and i was like Hey, betcha my jeep can outrun ur focus! (2005 Ford Focus)

So we ended up racing Rofl! 1st run was at 30 mph an hour and we were dead even till i hit top gear and he got in front!

2nd Go was at like 50 mph dead even till top gear again and he pulls away
3rd Gear We Start from 0! This is where i got the advantage haha, i Spun tires though and pulled ahead like 3-4 car links Rofl and i won


Any of you guys have any stories like this?

His Ford Focus has 170 Hp, i think my Jeep at almost double weight held up its side pretty well.

i do stuff like that too lmao, where i live we have a car show every month and i live right in the middle of town so im around alot of action, dont let that fool you though my jeep does see alot of mud lol, matter of fact last time i went mudding i busted out the window of my hatch and couldnt replace it because where the hatch had been hit it would be hard to fit a window into it right, so i had to pay 500.00 for a 2001 jeep cherokee hatch

I've been neck and neck with an E36 M3 up until about 45. You gotta remember when the H.O. came out it was the fastest in it's class, and everyone in the know knew they were quick.

You can't always see what's going to happen in any given situation but you can do something to avoid a terrible one. Be safe and race on a legal track. No sense in putting other people's lives in danger. (sorry, don't mean to sound like your parents)
