Look at Mightey Mouse.... full weight and running 9.0x's...
should be 8's this yr.... all it takes is HP....
Only with lighter cars the people are smarter..... less weight in the car so you can go faster with the same or less HP and its easier on parts because of the weight........
500-550 rwhp is made to easy with these cars for cheap.

What suprises me the most is people add all this HP and do nothing with there suspension to be able to put the power to the ground....... and then get beat by cars with 100-150 less HP.

Thats what i wish I wouldve done first when I had the Formula. But its hard starting with suspension since you don't really get much of a noticable return from it. Well, you do, but not like you get after H/C or N20.

Good thing im in Tampa now and BMR is right around the corner I can stop in there without having crap shipped so the wife wont know

I definatly see where you are coming from, I have to admit, when i saw your car at one of the meets I about **** myself. Very nice. I just prefer full weight to gutted is all. I like power steering, and my a/c
(even though my a/c doesnt work )

And you are 100% right about the suspension. Thats what im saving for and why i havnt gotten past bolt ons or paint etc.

That is the way most people are. They are concerned with putting numbers in there sig and nothing else. People who want a fast street car only focus on one aspect when there is so much more to consider. What is the point of adding power when the car can't 60ft worth a ****? People on this website in particular fall into this category because they are so willing to believe what they read. The easy way out is to PM a "Tech Guru" instead of doing the research yourself. That mentality has led to many f-bodies with 12 paragraph long sig's running like hammered ****. A well setup suspension on a vehicle with a mild motor will always beat a stock suspended donkey cammed wannabe. Im just ranting though, I doubt if anyone will listen.
