Default IS350 beat by a Mazdaspeed 3 today. wtf?

So I was on the freeway with my IS350, and I challenge this mazda 3 hatchback, and I switch over to manual and bump up the gear to 6, but it stayed stuck in 4 and hit the rev limiter and this hatchback just cruises on by me. wtf? can anyone explain wth just happened?

I loled.

You should really do some research on your car as well as how to race.

First the is350 does not have a manual mode, its a gear limiter. Second, if you did have a real manual, you would downshift first to go faster; shifting up would slow you down in the beginning.

Stop street racing, learn about your car, and stop street racing

It takes skill to lose to a car with 150hp less than you. And wth are you doing "racing" a Mazda 3.

And it kind of frightens me that someone who does not know how to use their car is trying to race on the freeway. Reminds me of all the horror stories of kids who wreck their rich parents' Ferraris, etc and killing the bystanders.

I like my vented and heated seats too much tbh.
:P
I am thinking about headers and exhaust+cats, boost is too much money for too little gain.


And to clarify, It was just me and him on the road, it was a toll road with a 75 limit.

regardless, street racing is dangerous and stupid. We can give 100 reasons why, and what could happen but hey its your car your life. Lets hope you don't injure or kill anybody on your next attempt of racing a Mazda 3 or any car thats below your class.
