and dont take it the wrong way swift, i aint sayin dont race him, cuz shit id run a 8 sec car like an idiot just to see how bad i get beat lol. But i know jay isnt a fan of runnin from a roll being as his car isnt too stable on the top end. I was talkin with him the other night to try and setup a race that would help ya out some, but he wont do a roll at anthing more than 40 or so. If your car is anthing like mikes it spins like a bastard till 60 all day. I guess he dont like the top speed runs like some of us nutcases lmao

yeah… my car isnt to stable at those speeds anyways. I have DR’s coming and traction bars… if i can get 2nd gear to hook up a bit better i’d like to run him like 40-140 or something, but like i said… i’ll go from a dig just for shits sometime.

Swift. Make the run. You can’t always run a car that you will beat. On the street, even 2-3 seconds is a doable swing given R/T and TRACTION. It’s all in good fun. I will say this. He will be one of the most honest and fair runs you will have.
Also, not making these comments towards you, just generalizations.

Doable is a poor choice of words. Possible is better. But I have seen cars seperated by 2+ seconds of ET have a miracle. 🙂
In most cases, it’s about 1-2. R/T alone can net nearly 1 SECOND for some of these newbs.
For the other person being discussed, I doubt you will get much.

that zo6 isnt gonna stand a chance against rays supra seeing as how he went 10.2 on low boost and its already run a better time on low boost with ray admitting he cant get a good launch

> i wanted to run the TT TA from a roll… just so it would be closer. I’m not going to run Hoosiers, no fenders or front bumper on the road haha. So from a dig the best i could do is run DR’s and i’m pretty sure it wouldbt be much of a video. Thats not to say i wouldnt do it for fun anyways. It’s whatever, i have no problem losing to a 670whp TT transam… or a 700whp supra, or a new z06 with a 100shot. If they want to go from a dig, it is what it is. I should have built a car that can launch, but since i didnt i’ll launch what i got. We should set some of these up, as soon as my fuel rail is re-attached.
FRankly, I have some concern to run a car that is half the weight and 2/3 the HP… not to say I wouldnt, but in current condition, I beleive it would be very very close. My car has legs up top, but remember its over 4000 lbs. I dont have a desire to up the boost till I can find stability…and frankly, I think the fast hondas would give me a run for my money… I have zero launch capability at the moment in the car so it should be interesting. I’d love the chance to do it…win or lose. As we all know, it doesnt take much for it to be anybodys win. Put it this way, i wouldnt bet money on either side… and I also want to run the evo for shits and giggles… again, anything can happen.

Im okay with a 40-130… as long as i get the dig race too. Remember I have an auto…so it takes more than 1 second for converter to lock and shit to start moving…from a roll…so big advantage you. I have HP. you have weight… I have kids, so I stop when I see God… you are a kid, therfor you can play God. :lol :banana
