I know of a 1100+ car that ran 12's it's all in the INTIRE package......
and a 380hp car run 12's so you tell me where the real deal is....
I just like to drive my car.
P.S. drove a stock vert the other day and DANGA my car is much more fun.lol

True. As for the vert, that's cause you have the big centri sticking out your hood. LOL

Well yah. If they' say that then it's time to prove it. I'm sure my car will run in the 9s too, with 10yrs. of race experience, and some fat tires, and, and, and, and, and, for now with all the 700+rwhp. I honest enough to say I'd probably get close to 11.5sec. until I "learn" how to drag properly.

My shifter is like pulling teeth, even though I installed the Hurst.
I'm with you I just want to drive my 740rwhp., and learn how to handle it without going into the ditch.
