Default got a question...

well i challenged a friend of mine (a 16 y/o chick who is damn hot i might add) to a race against her parents car... the car? a mercedes C240 V6 SOHC 0-60 in 8.7 secs... well she has never been in a drag race b4 and shes drivin an auto like me so im pretty sure shell have no idea how to start... anyway.. a bunch of my friends are sayin shes na excellent driver so i decidede to put her to the test just for fun... its a drag... honestly speaking i think i will win... with no prior race experience and a heavier car with a worse 0-60 i dont think she can rely on driving skill alone... its gonna be a stoplight-to-stoplight... not quite sure where yet so the length is still unknown... any idas on who will win?

I doubt your 0-60 time is less then 8.7 with an auto. Now if you had a manual I would buy it. I say she'll probably win unless she gets treed.

I had an 86 cherokee 4.0L, its a great motor, I ran it up to 250,000 miles and never replaced a thing cept an alternator and a battery. Mine was pretty quick.

um..what's a dodge 4.0? If you mean the 91-up with the chrysler feul injection I wouldn't say the torque and wieght really sucks. 225 or 235ft-lbs (not sure) and my 91 wieghs under 3500lbs. That being said my neon will clobber it in a drag.

I agree, I was just saying that its a strong motor.
