I'm still baffled by how a car with that setup only ran like a 12.0@114 or so. I mean don't get me wrong, I love playing devil's advocate, but a H/C ls1 on bigs and littlest doing near the same trap as a slow header orx Br0 on all seasons? Doesn't add up

So you're saying that a sub 500rwhp f body can't run deep into the 11s at full weight? And do you even know the difference between race weight and curb weight?
It spins but it does good from a dig?

at all the excuses

Do you not have a proper tire or a decent track nearby? It's a lot of fun. I think I prefer it over street racing actually
of course none of that is true. He just slammed on it from a light and claimed a victory

I honestly hope Jake's car doesn't disappoint and isn't as slow as much of us think it is. Just hoping he actually gets good runs in without all the spinning, hitting rev limiter, short shifting, etc. Not joking.

Automagics take the most amount of skill to drive.

There is a slight possibility that he has been sandbagging this entire time waiting for someone serious (with money involved) to call him out.

My guess is there's a 99.5% chance that's not the case. But would be legendary as Ultra said.
