It seems to me Ju1ce does have a driver mod. And good for him. Maybe it will stop some of the attacks. And therefore cause him to be less defensive.
I've seen all kinds of outcomes on street races that shouldn't theoretically happen. I think street races depend on the driver even more so than prep track races. I've taken cars I shouldn't have on street races. It doesn't matter if you shouldn't have won. A fast car is only part of the equation.

Whats the rousch run? Is it comparable to a Saleen S281 465hp Red Flag? Because my run-in with a Red Flag from 3 different rolls had me putting 1-2 cars each time.
Those Red Flag's are the exact same as the "S281 Extreme" except the Red Flag's have 3.31 gears instead of 3.73 gears, and with both at 10psi. Not sure how they stack up to the Rousch 'stangs though- any mustang guys wanna chime in? also, I was headers/vavaram/tune only when we raced.

YES!!!! Thats the way to do it.
some guy i met at a party had a turbo s197 mustang, when i asked him what he runs at the track he responded "look i dont know, but i also dont care, i build my cars to have fun with them, the numbers mean nothing"
Then after talking he offered to install an STS kit on my car for free if i ever got one lol
Looking back idk why we did not run, it would have been interesting to see how much faster a turbo one is.

I've NEVER built or bought a car to not drive and beat on. I put 20k miles on my firehawk in a year with track time, the shelby's been to the track twice, and the TA will definately be driven and tracked as well. Not sure how the 10 bolt will fair lol, but I need an excuse for a 9 inch.

Sorry about the thread hijack Juice.
Thats what everyone else asked when I posted it up originally. Hell, I'd never heard of them either!
http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=334570
After researching them, I was very surprised to have pulled a car that weighed less and had more claimed hp. Of course, the crappy 3.30 gears in the Saleen help! Apparently thats how they justify charging $85,000 ($35,100 more than the Red Flag) for the S281 "Supercharged" Saleen with the same engine, trans, and body kit but has 3.73 gears..."

I cant believe how expensive those saleens are, and while i prefer how they look over a stock s197 GT, i prefer the GT500 looks ever more, and the much cheaper price.

Saleens are cool but too "fatty" looking IMO. The 05-09 GT500's are bad *** but I don't like the cheap feel you get with them, like the unpainted rocker mouldings or the ugly stick on stripes and base model looking interior, minus the seats. They GREATLY improved the GT500's in 2010 though and those are a great looking car to me. If I had to choose, personally, I'm a shelby GT kind of guy, lol. (though a GT500 would be a nice upgrade)
