spiderx...

Hey SpiderX

i appreciate the run across I285 to Global Imports today. My JCW was fine until you got on it with your M62 and passed some of those cars! your car has some sick power to it.

that 9 mile trek was fun dodging the traffic.

see ya!

How much faster was SpiderX than your JCW? Did you get a chance to "compare powerbands" ?

no direct comparison and if you've ever had the pleasure of driving on I285 after 2, there's not much room to go so can't really do a side by side. it was noticable, when he passed a car and i down shifted to 4th, my car didn't quite "jump" like his did. i would probably say, just guess, from a MCS to a JCW difference. I passed a gray MCS coming back from Ohio and he passed me and we played a little and my JCW was the better car but that's how i'd compare it. you definitely have to see it in action to really get a feel for how it just "jumps"
