I wouldn't personally try with 800hp. You are going to get stomped repeatedly. Everybody brings their A game and then some.
I don't think I'd even bother trying to race lol. I'm more interested in spectating. Signed up on the forum to take a look around.

Two if you aren't counting TurboGeist/Ben and the ZR1 from Leathal I think both made it through two rounds.

Jeff does it have A/C? I know when RC had it at one time they took the A/C off for the turbos. Maybe they got it back on.

Like Mark posted up they said it does and looked like everything was there although I just took a quick look as they were busy getting ready for the next round etc... With the rear mounted turbo's I don't see why it would be a problem at all. GL with your car James looked good the other night everybody was talking about it the other night about it sounding bad *** etc...

He'll maybe they got it put on there, I don't know a whole lot about that car besides there is an obscene amount of money that's been put into it. I hope everything goes good with my car this time, I want to see what she will do past 5500 rpm! When I get it back I will head down to the south side a little more often, I like that little spot we went to. Looked like some good action could happen down there every once in a while. I really like the way my car sounds, but just cause it sounds bad *** doesn't mean it is.....

It should be converted over to an auto by now. He said something about the boost falling off between shifts being one reason. Doesn't matter to me, I've been wanting to race him for a while but it seems that our schedules rarely line up and when they do it usually rains.
