If you want to prove a point, go do it yourself.

i no its far from easy, but im not talking about running 9's. i know your car makes a lot of hp, i was just expecting a higher mph, thats all. I know a lot of problems occur, its just that no one has trapped 150mph yet and a lot of people are suppose to be making the hp to do so. Some guys have come close with less power.

Bro, I want to you listen to what you are saying... Given the chassis and specs of the car, does that MPH make sence to you???
on 12/02/08 I was at Carolina speedway and I didn't see a 196 mph pass from Betun.. That pass was 186 mph, but the stupid score board had a bad light bulb.. Whats even more retarded, was the fact that the "smart" guys at AGracing and PR-sportcompact didn't have the common sence to figure it out, so instead they posted their usual "typos"

Do yourself a favor.. Stick to GRS-Motorsports....The professionals!!

ps. I'm on the left wall in that video.. right at the burnout box

I think driver makes a big difference too. I remember a few years back on here some keyboard queens we're giving me a hard time for having 470 rwhp and only trapping 120 mph. They said that power wasn't possible with a t51r turbo and 1.2 bar of boost. Once I got used to the car the exact same setup, at the same track but different occasion I ran 132 mph on twice and 130mph about 4 times.
A car having potential and fulfilling it's potential is very much driver dependant. And someone who has more experience in this field can probably fulfill a cars potential easier and more consistent than say someone like my self has lack the guile and experience, but does it for the thrill.
