It may very well be, only if the driver is up to it though. I know
that if you can't drive in the first place, you'll probably lose.

It might have, and actually I expected to lose. But it was not
raining, nor has it a month. It was totally fair, side by side and no
traffic for miles. He picked the fight by revving his motor, I just
obliged him. To be fair to all, I have lost more that I won, here's
what I can recall from memory...
lost to a Neon Sport (Big ego loss there)
lost to a Chevy Blazer (mid 70's I think)
lost to a Corvette (Newer model, square taillights)
lost to a VW Bug (Street/strip prepped, very fast!!)
Totally backed down from a 440 GTX (Not stupid, hehe)
Beat a new Camaro
Beat a 1994 Mustang GT (sister's car)
