They also never believe in power to weight... which is funny to me as i came from a 3800lbs dodge steath TT awd with 403awhp, to a 3100lb evo with 360awhp, and now i have a 370rwhp stock turbo FD. the stealth that had the most power and torque was by far the slowest car ive owned. the evo was near my fd in power, but guess what... my fd would rape my evo. I also had an audi S4 but it only had 275awhp so it doesnt count... but it was a pig. one of the biggest differentiators in acceleration of automobiles is power-to-weight and gearing.. Period.

after all, if they didnt mean **** than why does a 7500lb diesel truck with 450rwhp and 550ft/lbs only run 15s or maybe 14s at best? that would run 10s easy in a car. sure some have run 11s and 10s, but thats with 700+ whp and 1100+ wTQ.
Ive called bs b.c. ive sat in, drove, raced, built, and tuned one 450whp rx-7, and another 550hp rx7 So i know what they are capable of.

I base my comments off experience, not searching goodle for "benching racing power to wheight ratio:

So sorry, for basing my comments of the real life, real deal. but your right, what do i know.

listen "homie" g is a respected member of this board. he isnt gnna type something up to try to impress us. maybe thats what u and the rest of the ls1 trolls do (or setup internet races) but not him. he beat this car. did it make 470rwhp? who knows. however what i am certain of is that it is posible for a fd to beat a fbody even if there is a 100 rwhp difference. the reason is called weight. the subject of horsepower to weight ratio is beaten to death on internt car forums. there is no doubt in my mind that other things matter such as gearing or aero dynamics. HOWEVER they dont matter nearly as much....not even close. Get your head out of your *** and deal. And for the rest of you peeps enough with the torque gearing aero bs. wake up damn it!

please enl;ighten me as to why u would call bs? u dont think the fd in question can make up the 100rwhp difference?

are u quizing me? lol. grow up. the parameters of the question u asked shows just how much u know.....nothing! u would need to know the wieght of a car to identify the effect of the added 100rwhp genious. i know this 100rwhp means a ton more to a fd then an fbofy in both et and mph.
but i know what u are getting at..i could answer if u would like. if u knew then u would know that 1k lbs means u need 100rwhp, GENERALLY speaking.

On LS1's.... I am sitting just over 300whp and although it was close, I can beat SS cameros and Ws6 TA's by about a car. NO hp/wieight isn't the whole calculation. There are many... Driver being the biggest (with the exception of a hwy roll). It sounds like this supercharged TA was maybe closer to the 430-450hp range but all the info we have is what the driver of the TA claimed...

Again G.... Good race..

All off your posts so far have been completely worthless. You haven't posted a shred of information yet, in any thread. You could replace all of your words with, "I'm right! I'm right! I'm right!" and they'd have just as much substance. And you can save whatever clever remark you'd try to come up with, it wouldn't change the fact that you're a troll who's probably never seen an RX-7, much less built one.

You would. Stock FDs make around 215 rwhp. There aren't many stock FDs out there though

That is why I said nearly stock. Race one with a dp and catback. That should be a pretty close race from a roll. You would take em from a dig if you know how to launch that thing.

Brooks trapped 11.4 @ 120 plus on 362 rwhp on a hot Florida day. The poster is making 10 rwhp more and it's much cooler which means even more power...

So how many degrees of port timing did you use on the motors? How did you clearance the rotors on the 550 rwhp RX-7? How much injector and what was the duty cycle?

Thanks Chris. I was referring to a bone stock car of course.

I don't think you'll get the answers to your engine building questions either, call me crazy
