Btw the car in the other lane shown there was a modded Focus ST. I know it was modded because it made lots of whooshy wastegate noises. He beat me off the line then I pulled ahead for a bit like 20-50, which I believe is due to the 3.73 diff. It really gives you a jump up to about 50. Then after that I believe his HP kicked in and he overtook me and pulled away from 60 and lengthened the gap to the finish. He had me by .03 seconds and almost 10mph at the end.
My take away is The 3.73 diff gives a great torque boost at the lower speeds but then the N/A 328 doesn’t have the HP to keep up as speeds pass over 60. A lot of faster cars I’ve raced they go like this.
