i dunno, i have a hard time believing this...maybe if your car was 1800lbs or something i could, or it was modified... but were talking 2800lbs w/ 200hp (156ft/lbs?) vs ~2200lbs w/ 140hp/120tq (if ya went with the b18b1) both have long gearing...but the lude is a bit closer...

then again this is all speculation, i wasnt there, he could have spun off the line really bad or something...good kill!
