i would have put that vid up but i dont have it. This was the only vid i found on my computer. Ill have to setup another one, 0-130 or something. But I wouldnt go as far as saying a roll race isnt a legit race.
i know it seems im "*******" you about it a lot.. im not.. at least your racing and not just talking about it... i would LOVE to see a dig to 90 or 115... since that would be 1/8 or 1/4..

i have strong belief that rolls are for the birds... its not a race.. its just who makes more hp.. weight really doesnt even effect it that much..

things that matter in a race... how you make your power, where you make your power, how much of that power gets to the ground, how quick you get in your power band, how well it stays in the power band, how much you actually can hook up, etc etc etc.. i could go all day...
going from a roll doesnt show how well built a car is.. it just shows that someone spent a lot of money on go fast mods and nothing else.. which is not impressive.. you can be beat by a car that has MUCH less horsepower than you from a dig if it was built smarter/better..

racing is from a dig to a given speed.. roll racing is for ***** and giggles.......... and birds..

stock for stock they beat fbodys...

on average they run between 12.9-13.00... which is faster than 98% of stock fbodys...

on the street, they beat us even worse.... we are traction impaired.. they are not..

These things are quick. Saw one run about 7 months ago at a track, never seen em before, me and my friends were doggin it. Then it got down to the tune of a high 12, like 12.8 i think, runnin only exhaust.

Not suprised honestly...trap speeds tell the story IMHO. I would expect to slowly pull away from one in stock form (not by that amount mind you) so with your mods I don't see the issue.

Nice Kill.

I thought I found a legit high 12 stock as well..then I found out later the guy was hiding some minor mods... so far there are 3 I can think of that have credible high 12 slips the rest have been bottom 13s... doesn't take anything away from them unless you honestly believe every one of them runs 12s.

wtf is up with you people doing this roll racing and trap speed ****... since when does this matter when drag racing... supras and terminators do that ghey hit... REAL cars go from a dig, and know that is what matters... roll racing is for ***** and giggles... why the **** would you count that as a "win"..

there are plenty that are truly stock running 12s.... yes im sure there are a few running 13s.. but i have seen many more running 12s...
whether it be with a CAI or not, thats gonna beat 98% of fbodys... o, unless your roll racing... my god...

here is a story from the forum i was talkin bout...u don't necessarily have to believe it but thought i'd post it anyway...i don't think he'd make up the story and even tell the mileage he had on it if he was lyin...

"I had 08 srt-8 jeep. I think you will get beat and heres why

My jeep with 91 miles on the clock, full tank of gas,a couple hundred pounds of junk in the back(I just traded my sss for it that day) on a 53 degree day ran 13.01.

We went back next week and ran with a 1/4 tank,no junk and 400 miles on it and ran 12.87 on a 57degree day.

The next week it had a 100 shot on it and a b woody intake and ran 11.78
Went to a 150 shot and ran 11.41 a few weeks later with a better tune."

The jeeps are fast! They are def made for digs but turn into a big *** brick with wind resistence up top! If you youtube the jeeps roll racing then you will see that they run strong early but then run out of steam up top!

Obviously for some reason you have a hard on for me... the race in this thread took place from a roll so what I said was spot on.

I also frequent the GCSRT8 boards and I have RARELY seen someone claim 12s bone stock and most are planted in the low 13s. Since I didn't disagree with your assesment of them taking 98% of the F-Bodies on the road I really don't understand your issues? Maybe a nice walk to sort things out and calm down would do some good here?
