That kind of defeats the purpose. This show isn't entirely about making fair races or being super competitive, it's about putting two cars that would never actually race in the normal world side by side in a drag race for purely entertainment purposes.

But show is for fun. Making it competitive will ruin it. Then it'll be who has the most HP. If you wanna watch that watch 1320 Here they put cars with similar stats on paper then race them.

[@jonj4357]

THIS is the matchup we never knew we needed. These cars are so closely matched that the races could have gone either way, especially with the drivers having barely any drag experience. Maybe Hoonigan is listening to the fans and putting up close races. Second week in a row we’ve got an amazing matchup.🤞🏼

[@cybertree]

The older I get, the more I realize how a fast shifting transmission is really important. I was driving my VW Tiguan (crappy soccer Mom car, which I put a slightly larger turbo on), and I got into a red light race with a mustang next to me, when the light turned green I was a little bit quicker off the line, but he was reeling me in EXCEPT for when he was shifting, he was dropping back 4 feet at a time for each gear and I just kind of stayed in front. I could hear his exhaust making demon noises but those shifts really did alot, I really shouldn't have won.

[@Lavasioth]

You can buy power, but you can't buy skill.

[@stevewiley3832]

Absolutely! (except were skill defeats bad trans tuning) I was driving my 100% stock 96 Ranger 2.3l stick shift and beat a 300C SRT-8 once. We were both at the front of a two-lane dedicated left turn light. I was on the outside as I was going to be making a right turn onto the highway after the left...I believe the SRT8 wanted to also get on the highway so his intention was to get by me after the turn. Light goes green, neck and neck thru the left and as we straighten out he stomps on the throttle...and spins...his trans upshifts...then bogs...then downshifts....then spins...(wash. rinse. repeat)...the whole time I am riding off into the sunset smashing gears on my Ranger, maniacally laughing in the process...We end up and a red light right before the highway. I look over at him and the dude is SEETHING, just full to the brim with rage...he is shaking his steering wheel. One of my favorite memories.
