Maybe if I let Sardog drive my car....he seems to be able to make red cars run 1/2 sec faster.

And judging by what Ellis' car did with no traction & the NOS not working right, there's probably going to be a few cars in the 9s this year. But I don't see my car running an 8. The power & setup might be there, but it's just too heavy. I'm hoping for mid 9s...provided I can actually make it to the track.

Tis true, but it's all about power to weight & I think your car has us covered in the other category. Don's car is probably the only on here that's lighter than yours. Have you ever dynoed your car with spray? I'll bet you aren't that far behind us.

To me weight is not an excuse. becuase that is the easy way to make you faster.
So do you accept?

Don't get Ellis started on that one. You're talking about Texas, the land of exagerated dyno numbers, and cars with no interior right? Hehehehe

Well there is a similar weight C5 with about 50 less RWHP and about 100 less RWTQ running mid 10's...so in theory and doing the complex algorithms. If I setup a drag strip in space, with a severe downhill. I have a 9 second car and with a 200 shot instead of 100 shot I bet I can crack the 7's.
