I said that? If my car runs mid-high 14's Ill be pissed. The car would push mid 14's with the STOCK 200 hp engine if thats what you mean. With an expected 301 hp n/a at the crank and 2300-2400 lbs, Im expecting high 12's on slicks and Mid 13's on street tires. (before power adder)
Fwiw, some of the honda drag cars run 10's
normally aspirated with 240 hp and 190 tq at the wheels. They just weigh about 1600 lbs.
And bret, i didnt think I was arguing, seriously.
