I wasn't bragging, just pointing out that racing a 600 hp can be lets say, not very interesting, but a 1000+ HP, things get very interesting
60' 1.68
1/8 6.33 @ 122
1/4 9.54 @ 151

Some people are more serious than I.
you have been having lots of fun with it alot more fun than I think 99% of the other cars of similar caliber ever do, which is awesome. Most people can't grasp the scale of what your car is and how much you use it, it is truly impressive IMO. There maybe only 1-2 other real street cars I can think of that might give you issues on the street, but those other cars are still to be proven.

He's a closet supra lover, but you didn't hear that from me.

Some people should also keep in mind that some of the guys who make 1200rwhp and roll race can dial it down and run 10's on DR's granny shifting it with a 1.9 60' coming out easy. That's not a bad compromise considering those cars can dominate oh the hwy where the action happens most around here.

I sure hope all of the people talking down on the 1000+rwhp roll racers run 9's or better so they have a little room to talk.

IMO if you're making 1000+ you should be running low 9's or better. but we do things differently up here in DFW. My hooptie went 6.3’s w/ 675ishHP, so that’s why I was giving Tiago a hard time about his 1000HP car and his ET’s.

but a lot of the big hitters are 6 speeds and they aren’t necessarily setup to run at the track. Myself, I like to do both, and don’t use my 6 speed as an excuse.

its usually the slow people that talk **** about Roll racers..same **** thats been going on for years..

most of these "DIG" street racers has probably never even made a 9 second pass..


back then when supras and other imports started making alot of power and kicking the domestic asses on the highways..the domestic guys started crying saying that imports cant run on the from a dig, independent suspensions suck, roll racing is gay, BLAH, BLAH...

but then import guys actually started using slicks and running 8s and 9s in street trims!!!!

now the domestics guys are finally making good power in street trims and guess what?? they are only roll racing...LOL

and then you had people calling imports dyno queens..Now there is one being put out every other week on this site..

Lol You know I'm too slow to play with you big power car from a roll. But here it goes, I'll race you from a roll if you give me the hit from a 20 to 145 only if you race me from a dig and i might give you something from a dig. Can't get no fairer than that. What does everyone think about that?

I'm here with Steven (wormboy) shooting pool and he says I'm a dummy for offering those races but I'm drunk and I'm bored. Steven also said he will make are races a L.M.R reality show #11 out of it for the fans.

idk what every one is complaining about. when i came back from the marines i noticed there were more roll races than when i left, prolly from the amount of c5 and c6 vettes i see on the roads now. i never considered myself one of the "fast" cars but i held my own. i set my truck up to run good from both roll and dig races. Was it the best at both, no. I dont come from a well off family nor am i rolling in the cash, but if i can pull off running a truck as hard as i did for as long as i did and still be able to drive it every day and still bust off a high 9 sec pass and still be able to do high roll races up to 170mph, anybody can. plus i did it in a stock suspension s10. so this "hard on parts, i dont want to break anything" bs is exactly that. not to say i didnt break anything cause from time to time i did. if it was a big piece then i upgraded to a part that could hold the power. at the end of my trucks life the only work i did on the truck was just basic maintenance (oil, plugs, ect).

60' - 1.56
1/8 - 6.60 @ 110mph
1/4 - 9.95 @ 138mph

Nick I wish we could of ran, i think it would have been a good race.

Does that mean you should also own a 9-second car if you want to nutswing on those roll racers? If you are nice enough, I could probably get a nice photo of RC and his car, have him autograph it, and you could hang it on your wall. Be glad to help!

Personally, I couldn't give a crap if someone owns a 18 second car and thinks roll racing takes no talent. It doesn't require a 9-second pass to figure that out. I've been over 200 mph in a car before, it isn't that scary in the right car. 60-130 racing is over in a few seconds, wow the talent it takes there to shift one gear!

I wish I could own a 1,000 hp car someday, so I could be accepted on the internet. I fail at internet boy racer life.

Not a bit of that going on here. I do just fine on my own racing from a roll or a dig. If I wanted pics of a car to hang on my wall there are better resources here in town. Don't flatter yourself.

I haven't even spoken about any specific cars on here. You started it all claming people who roll race are pussies.
