And i'm sure if he were a really good driver he would have been able to catch me and pass me but being fully stock AWD he wouldn't have went flying by me.
RGR that, the roll race is usually gonna make it more fair for the N/A vehicle. I made a diesel with a pretty big chip and other mods look silly from a 25mph roll race.

Gotta give props to those turbo cars though, so easy to mod and make some decent power with.
