I'm not a street racer. Do you guys heat your DRs on the street? I mean, it seems like that would be a cop version of a dog whistle.

Thats why you got to be smart about where you run, and have time to burn out and stage and everything.

Ya I noticed the Vette reeling him in, thats why I made the comments on the tires....if he was setup for it, I think the vette had plenty of power up top to take the win....fail to the vette for trying to race an awd with a rwd on sport tires..

Here is proof of a AWD car getting beat by my car. The video sucks but I beat him by about a fender. I gave him three car and the hit and still beat him.

A sport tire, for example http://www.amazon.com/35ZR19-Goodyea.../dp/B002RN0SV4


It is NOT a drag tire, and it is not a cheap economy tire...... very common to refer to them as a Sport tire or a Sporty tire... At least that's what I have always heard them called and called them. Hell my tires have "Sport" in the name of the tire.... BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S. And I understand your an admin man but dang gimme a break!!!!

If all other specs were identical aside from AWD/RWD then show me a case where RWD win's from a dig.... AWD gains a huge advantage over RWD cars and especially if they can launch at near red line and semi hookup...but of course you guys just like giving me a hard time.....I suppose I do make it rather easy....so:banghead:

Hahaha, very funny..... their is two "A" 's therefore the A makes a long A sound BAY-LIK. Actually derived from the old god Baal....and no not from Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction From the book written by Robert McCammon back in the 80's..

z06 fail, its not that the z needed tires, just needed driver mod, he probably just got too cocky. and wrx had little more than just boltons. bolt-on wrx is not that quick, i know because i own one.

You not going to get similar specs between a awd/rwd. And they have a huge advantage over a horrible driver irs street tire car.

I promise their are a lot of fbodys on this site who takeout similar power evo's/sti's etc..

Awd is a lot easier to launch than its rwd counterpart. Especially if its a manual and irs. (look at 03 cobra times)
