so again let me say this...
david z ran 14.09 (damn near 13s) with 270fwhp / 250fwtq
bnoon ran 13.8 on a 75shot with probably close to 210-230fwhp / 205-225fwtq
---------------------------------------
Simon Langley ran 14.15 with ~280fwhp and 210fwtq
Corbett (Tim) ran 14.3 with a 2.1 60' with ~280fwhp and 210fwtq
lets see... that data says... guys with more hp ran the slower times... guys with more tq... ran faster... i am NOT saying d/r or slicks wont help.. i KNOW they will help, they always help. but please don't sit there and say i am full of it when ALL THE FACTS BACK ME UP! all you have "theory" which you can make up as easy as i can. SHOW ME DATA SHOW ME PROOF then i will agree with you. i am sorry, but the cars with the most tq run the fastest ets. i am not saying a high hp engine is worthless, hell mark is running within 3 secs of vipers on a road course. but a viper will SPANK him at the strip.
so you can throw all your "theory" at me you want, but you have NO data to back it up.
again, i am not saying improving the traction of the car won't help... but don't sit here and argue with me that tq does not matter... that is just retarded.
David Z only carried ~ 240 hp/ 210 tq, not the numbers you specified above.
