At a track day you have people with a wide variety of driving experiance and you have people with a wide variety of how hard they are willing to push their cars.
The guy in the Lambo was probably some old rich guy who didn't want to crash his car and who didn't even realize rice-boy was racing him.
I can't say that this particular Mitsubishi driver is telling the truth or is not, but I find his claim entirely within the bounds of plausibility. He lists the corners as his advantage over the Lambo, and if the Lambo was two wheel drive and running street tires, I think he very likely could be telling the truth. I ran my bone stock WRX at Lime Rock, and Porches, Corvettes, and Camaros would dust me on the front straight, but I easily caught back up in the corners.
Also, if you think every person who drives a Japanese car is a ricer, perhaps you should put down your gun and your bible (a joke, get it?) and see how many of them used to be die-hard american car drivers. http://www.buschurracing.com/biography3.html

Some of you guys are idiots when it comes to modern day performance cars.

Yea, and that lowly Eagle Talon at the top of the list? STREET CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How'd you like to go from a dig against a car running 8.7s at 165 mph on DOT aproved tires? I've witnessed about 20 times a local DSM guy who runs 11.5s at 120 mph, absoluely rape trailor queen dragsters at the local boony races. Yup, I'd feel like a dumbass getting passed in a Lamborghini by a "slow" Mitsubishi
And please, don't even come back with the "top fuel" motor still is faster than turbo 4 banger.

Saturn ION Ecotech 4 cyl 1/4 mile 8.05 at 180.79mph
At that rate, it would only take me about 40 seconds to reach the Saturn plant from here! lol Way cool to see FWD cars run this fast.

I have a video of a Toyota MR2 Turbo making 756 RWHP.....if anyone wants to see it, post your addy here.
Next time you pull up next to a ricer, check out the car and the driver.....if it's got a lot of gimmicks and a big wing and a bunch of flashy shi'it, it most likely is nothing but a ricer. If the guy seems serious and eager to race you in a clean and good sounding machine, then don't put any money upfront until you find out the whole story. I've seen 4-bangers duke it out with the big V8s.
