No, it wasn't the fastest thing around, but i can tell you i had a shitload of fun with it, which is all that really matters. If you try to be the fastest car around, you will lose. There's always someone faster.
that's why you tune your car more and more.... eventually you have to be the fastest...

btw i only talk about street legal cars.. if you can't take it out on the streets, what's the point?? someon can strap a jet engine on their car in a 'real drag race' with street legality, you have a certain specification you have to pass... you ain't never gonna say a 69 chevelle crusing down the road with an f-16 jet engine sticking out the ass end...

like i said, imports can only beat muscle in handling and weight.... otherwise... you're going to be seeing nothing but smoke... and maybe a dimly shinning couple of red tail lights.

i should also take the time to mention i'm not for power... a race is how fast you are... so speed is my goal... fuck power, a 900 HP set up, that is set up wrong, can still be beat by the average tuned import... it's how you use the power available to you.. power doesn't mean everything...
