Great showcase of races!

But I never like those cheesy little "hand-waves" people try and do. And, although I'd LOVE to be racing in that situation, the driver is just a little too giddy for me (like a 16 year old in his first race). But I'm just a real picky person. And I guess its understandable...

Props to the guy - looks like that made his week.

Just keeping the facts straight:
The 05+ Saleen twin-screw charger is a very efficient design. The older (02) was also a decent charger.

Roush on the other hand has an old technology roots charger. It sucks.

Remember that you can only boost as much as the internals will handle.

To the op: Nice kill.

Only the Stage 3 is SC...
You should check the Roush's skid pad numbers...as good as a C6 for the fat heavy pig.
And don't confuse SN197s, new edges etc.

You gotta remember that Choco is almost as biased as ONEBITCHASSWS6, so it's not gonna do any good to present facts

Ya SN197s and new edge cars are totally different. I'm glad I beat the guy but at first I didn't even want to race him cus I couldn't hear the supercharger and thought it would be a waste of time but I'll give the cuy props his car was definitely bad *** and if it wasn't for the big cam in my car his car probably turns way more heads thatn mine does. All in all in was just fun goin out that night. Hopefully we go out again soon cus i want to race that terminator cobra and see how quick it is. But just remember guys where I live alotta people don't build them fast they try to make them look good 1st. Me I prefer speed just my opinion now If I could make my car quicker that would be great. Maybe time for a procharger.

Tell me about it. He is a classic internet genious.

You mean like the FACT that choco came back at me in reference to Roush mustangs...EVENTHOUGH my conversation started with the other guy referenced a MEMBER's S197 as a fat pig, not the OPs?

and this is supercharged, so what i said holds true.

skidpad numbers? who cares? it's real life performance that matters. are you a benchracer? because you're quoting magazines to me. in real life, i GUARANTEE a corvette is significantly more aerodynamic than the brick on wheels that is the sN197 mustang.

i'm biased? you're the biased one, here. you're defending a car that got its butt handed to it strictly because you're a mustang driver/fan. believe it or not, i actually like new edge mustangs. i like '03-'04 cobras. i think the ford 302 was one of the best sounding engines ever made, along with a 4V 4.6L. i'm just pointing out REALITY here, which some of you are escaping, here.

roush = overpriced junk. this guy would have been much better off buying a GT and supercharging it himself. not only do i bet it would be a lot faster, but he probably would have saved money as well.

"Quoting magazines" about cars is better than talking trash about a car that you've never driven

indeed. well, since the video clearly shows that it is no match for a cammed LS1, i really don't need to have driven the car to know it's a pig for the money you pay. so what's your point?

magazine quoting IS NOT better than "talking trash about a car i've never driven" because I KNOW the facts. I KNOW that it is an inferior car because i have real world evidence. car and driver isn't real world evidence. a video is.

and what the hell? do you refresh this page every minute HOW did you reply that fast

Yeah, but you're calling it a fat heavy pig when it doesn't weigh much more than your car at all. And seeing a video isn't "real world." You weren't there. Not saying this video isn't legit or anything like that, but in general you can't fully believe EVERYTHING you see. Like that guy with the 268rwhp bolt-on LT1 with 3.23s that has "real world video evidence" of him PULLING a blown new-edge GT with well over 300rwhp. Yeah, there's video of him pulling the car, but come on... And I wasn't aware that merely being a bit slower makes something an "inferior car?"

Trust me the video is real its my car we could show it to you on camera. Hell if you lived close I could take you to the mustang guy and race him again. I know your not trying to be a dick about anything but my car is fairly quick obviously from the vid and that mustang was not slouch as he beat a airlid and exhaust LS1 pretty bad but like I said my car is probably over 450 rwhp but that is just a guess and also I'm an M6 with 4.10s with Mickey Thompson DR's so my car will get outta the hole good.

Thanks for all the compliments guys
