Got beaten off the line by a Scooby Do from the lights on a dual track.....

he was up for it.......I was up for it

Game on....go go go....Scooby is away, I am away....too much wheel-spin from the Italian Stallion (is it possible to wheelspin a Scoob?) Scooby pulls 2 lengths....

he changes up but the 'rossa has a long 1st gear and I make ground....b0llocks the 1st 2nd change has caught me...again.....Scooby now 3 car lengths.....squat down and pulling hard

no worries though I know what my steed can do...into 2nd and now I am making ground....Scoob squats again and I gain another car length

this is fun....my 2nd to 3rd is a straight run and goes in like knife through butter....I am really on it now and haul past the Scooby pilot

Respect due but you can't beat POWER POWER is king

to be honest I was amazed at the rate he launched off the line...he'd obviously practiced because it seemed fautless to me

Jap Turbocharged 4wd pocket rockets are great from 0-150kmh.

V12 ferraris are great from 100-300kmh.

there was not way I would have lead from the lights....with the Ferrari you need a degree of slip or the car just bogs down...if you don't get it right you just end up spinning all the power away

The Scoob seemed to get all it's horses down on the tarmac and it was off...once the Ferrari was able to get the power down it was relatively easy but not that easy to haul in. I'd say a modified Scoob with say 400bhp plus would run rings round even a contemporary supercar although I don't know how wide the power bands are on the Scoobs...the Ferraris is very wide
