Anything can happen on a single pass....can you do it 9 out of 10 times?

I could beat a GT500 with my Avalanche if he blows his launch bad enough, does that mean my truck is faster than a GT500?

Some of you V6 people KILL me.

Does that mean the loosing GT500 can say "you didn't realy beat me cause my car is better so just ignore what happened cause you didn't really get there first"?

Exactly! That is why I always laugh at the Dyno Queens! Those numbers mean nothing if you can't use it! Last couple trips to the the track I've watched a Challeger SRT8 who could do nothing but spin all the way down the track... not sure he ever broke out of the 14s! Watched a few of the new 6.0 GTOs wheel hop through 1st and 2nd and run upper 13s and low 14s.... while I was running 13.4s! SPINNING AIN'T WINNING!!! LOL!

So sure those car should have been faster... but never under estimate how slick a track can be on street tires or the importance of the driver mod! You have to look at the WHOLE PICTURE, not just the numbers...

Completely agree.

You can't seperate the rider from the horse.

In this case it's the man that controls the machine, sure you gotta have some good equipment but a grudge match is mostly about how well the driver and car become one.

I wonder how many manly high hp riders shot their horse cause IT was to stupid to win......

No, it just means I would know better to get on a forum and pound my chest that I beat a car that would destroy me with a better driver/launch.

But you V6 guys just go on living the dream k?

Right on, but be smart enough to realize why it happened.

Realize that if the guy in the SRT8 has the right tires, and can drive he'll stomp all over your V6.

if if if... he didn't, i did... i won... he lost... LOL! So many V8 owners think they can just jump in their car, go to the track and rip off some magazine times... it's just not always that easy... But hey, they're living the dream!
