Lol...not gonna happen for them.

Proof?


I've seen ben's car. Helped him put ftw in it ine day.


Idk why it's high there. Overall it is more expensive to run even at your price.
huh? My trap was lower because my 60ft was better... in case you werent aware of how that works.

Count you slips and I'll count mine .

You can smack your self all you want. 1/8 mile is the only time I've seen spinning drive mph up.

Now maybe if you have enough power to spin after the 1/8 it might affect it.

Count your slips for the last 2 years. This will prove that you are retired or skurred of the track.

I've had the opposite experience with my trap speed in the 1/8. I would lose 2-3 mph in the 1/8 when spinning, but my mph in the 1/4 would generally stay the same for whatever reason. It would just have a better back half that pass because the first 1/8 was so bad.

Different cars do different things. The funny part is Hio thinking he knows what Poppa's car does.

Hio hasn't raced anything in 2 years, he doesn't even know what his own car does. lol

Alot of this **** they try to pass off as rules really don't mean ****. It's very much individual car dependant.

It comes down to where the car spun....how hard it spun....if you had to lift to get the spin under control......etc etc

Way to many variablez to say for sure. Someone that claims to race as much as islander shoukd know this. But he will keep spewing the same dumb **** over and over

Damn, Islander getting under Hio's skin.

Hio, I thought Poppa's car has a feminine power band/artificial torque? With all the earth moving power your "bolt-on LS6" has- what do you know about how Poppas car runs?

109.6mph Zero spin 1.85 60ft
113mph Spin 2.1 60ft

I also highlighted in RED your own statement. So with you saying that, how can you talk about how my car performed on any particular run?

Who cares if you spin and trap more or vice versa it's who gets to the end first wins regardless of the mph..... timeslips racing across country is so gay.

Until you run ANYTHING single digits, anyone who does own your ***. The ability to run 8's is rarified territory. That is specifically what the 96gt is for. To run low 8's
