about the whole argument for beating v8's thing, in Wollongong there are 2 main areas where races off the lights, and actual full blown street racing occur, a 60km strip and 2 or 3 80kn strips
now in the 60 area, i have noticed there isnt that much of a difference when racing up to 60 between a normal car and my shitbox, or a normal car and a v8. so if both the v8 and the mx6 were going to race off the lights, if they both floored it atthe same time, by the time they hit 60 there will be a clear winner but not that much actual difference in how far apart the cars are. Because 7th is young and a male he has considerably higher reaction speeds, less than .2 of a second, compared with an older person who may take .5-1 full second to realise the lights have gone green ans press foot down
this extra .8 or so of a second can mean a big difference in a race that stops once they hit 60 or 80
so i will conclude i think it is quite feasible he has beaten some v8's, especially if he ever raced in wollongong, and both were going to stick to the speed limit, its not like its a full on drag race, both drivers flooring it to reach top speeds, so i think the lighter car with the faster driver has a good chance of coming close, if not beating an older driver with more cubes
