I got beat.... :(
raced a twin turbo g35 and a audi s4 last night. They were both putting down over 400whp. im only around 320. we all raced at the same time. went from like a 40 roll up to 130. they were pretty much even with eachother. They pulled me by 2 2.5 cars.

I remember the thread, where someone asked how much power it would take to be a c6z, and going to Google (your guy's drag strip) it said, with the power to weight, you would need 360hp i believe....i know it wasnt more than that,. so i am giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Now, if a 320 fd got beat by a turd of a g35, just think what a c6z would do!
OH NOES1!1111oneoneoenone1!!! GOOGLE HAS FAILED US!!!1!!1!111 NOOOOOOOOOOO

Instead of using physics and the way the real world works, we should just consult with you because you have seen, built, and tuned everything.

well maybe there is something wrong with the way my turbo's are working. my primary has seemed a little sluggish. and with the boost turned up, there is not a very smooth transition.

This is from the other thread
The guy who started this thread is stock weight. Again you can not defy physics. If you cant prove your point just like in the other threads then why do you even bother. "you just dont get it" means nothing to me. I get it allright. I just see right through it. I think its the smell

power to weight really dosint mean that much. look at drag bikes to drag cars.. the cars with the worse powet to weight kill the bikes...
on a side note every 100lbs is 10th of a sec... so if you have the same cars and take 1000lbs out of one of them it will be a sec faster in the 1/4 mile

I love how many internet mechanics there are out there, sometime I wish the literacy rate in the us was lower than it all ready is.

big daddy dwayne gutridges...on DOT drag tire
93 trunk mustang 900hp (rear wheel) / 3000lbs (weight of his class cant be lighter) = 3.333333333 pounds per hp.....1/4 mile time 7.90
where is your power to weight department now
like i said power to weight dosent matter that much.. power to weight is not everything.... yes a lighter car with less HP can beat a heavy car with more power... but its not always the case
that is all i was sayin when i said it didint matter that much...
