Sports...ya have a bad game and loose, you loose.
Tests...have a few brain farts and fail, you loose.
Gunfights...you loose, you loose.
Drags...you loose, you loose.
Although the ZO6 is a FAR superior car he did loose, game over. I just watched a vid on here a couple days ago of a Ford Ka beating a riced Supra that made it about 10 feet. Did he stall it? Blower blow up on him? Throw a rod? Get an eyelash in his eye? Doesn't matter, he lost.
All this shows is that like anything else, a fast car is only as strong as it's weakest link...
