Is this supposed to be an AWD vs RWD thread?
Care to at least use a race vs. a car as the sample?

The only way that truck was spraying a 200shot is if his motor made 0rwhp.

he did say that it was a mid 9 second truck off the bottle, and onthe bottle it was a mid-high 7. This is in the 1/8th mile of course.

He caught me eventually though, by the time i was getting through the top of third.

Redhat, blah blah blah, all you've ******* run is your mouth. Put up or shut up for once. You keep talking all big about how many buslengths you are gonna put on me. I havent talked **** once, i just said lets race. you sure do have a different personality on the internet LOL keyboard warrior, cause on the phone you were actually sort of nice. Quit talking **** for once and lets just set up a time and place.

I would. Ever make it up to Michigan? You run on slicks w/ VHT. I'll run on concrete with Nittos only. Sound good?

Well VHT is the name of the company that makes it, and trackbite is the name of the product.

I made the mistake of stepping in it once. Took me 15 minutes of dragging my shoe around to get the stuff off.

yeah the stuff smells great, but it gets on EVERYthing. I also like the smelly additives people put in their gas to make it smell like cherries or grapes.

Little bit of a street racers trick, mix it 50/50 with denatured alcohol. It speeds up the drying time and increases the stickyness. Do slow burnout in a puddle of it, then backup in your burnout just before the puddle. I've sprayed out of the hole on the street on that stuff. Awesome ****.

I have seen Videos of RWD cars lifting the front tire(s) on the street. A RWD car with slicks that hooks will hole shot an AWD car all day, the diff. being an AWD car can hook almost anywhere. Dylan u cut a 1.6x 60 ft time, I cut those times all day on BFG DR's on motor. RWD on slicks can hook on the street and if he does your ONLY advantage is gone and you are toast.

Well ive yet to be outlaunched by a slick/DR RWD on the street. And at the strip ive only been outlaunched by a full on race car on slicks. Im not saying thats it's impossible for it to happen, but im saying that so far i haven't been impressed yet. I cut 1.6 60 foots on street tires, im sure if i put DR's all the way around id lower the 60 foot time even more.

It would be tuff to do on the street no doubt, but if he leaves even close to you and is running to win (spray) he will walk right past you. At the track he should leave with you or better than you and that wont even be a close race IMO. I am sure we will find all this out soon enough.
