What et does your car run...the fastest index I see in Super Stock is 9.30 and I doubt that's you...so clearly you aren't faster than this unicorn.
Furthermore I know you can't turn the AC on in your Super stock and tool on down to the beach in your power leather seats, satellite radio while getting 15 mpg via your overdrive transmission and still be able to rip off low 9s if you need to.
As for getting under skin.....keep trying dude...so far you're coming up short...... |
I wasn't referring necessarily to you specifically, but you do keep replying....
Super Stock cars get down into the mid 8s for a SS/AX or SS/AS. Mine is 9.90s, 10.20s in hot/humid. Yes, it is index racing unless you are racing someone in the same subcategory. Would it be better if I raced Top Fuel, seems like that would be an even bigger disconnect from the "real world" of 5th gen supremacy....
And you are right that karts have nothing to do with drag racing, I was just saying that because I am really into racing for position, racing for money, racing for points, racing for real competition, rather than just taking my daily driver to the track. I much prefer having multiple specialized vehicles rather than a do it all compromise in every direction.
You are right, the race car has no AC (lol). That seems like a little bit of a stupid comparison. LG's race cars don't have AC either. Lingenfelter doesn't have AC. They are race cars. WTF?
Anyways, I have gone wild on plenty of street cars from POS Fox bodies to Corvettes, 4th gen camaros, etc. I am DETERMINED not to overmodify my 5th gen and just drive it around. Its not easy.... So far 16K miles in and I've only tuned it....No bolt ons.... Plus I got married in May and sure enough.....modifications make her frown.:( Oh well, it's worth it so far, I haven't had to give up my toys. Yet....
Mickey Thompsons....I like them.
