to make it short and sweet, my car dynoes 220 rwhp on motor.
i have not dynoed it on spray, but that doesnt matter because i didnt use my spray to race the lightning, or i would have hurt his feelings really, REALLY bad.
basically, you could say i have almost perfect traction. and for any power level, perfect traction usually means good racing fun... my estimated 1/4 mile time is 13.8 sec on motor (with me driving it cuz i suck at racing)
so the lightning was one car faster than me, which is ESTIMATED to be 1/10th of a second, which means he could have been running a 13.7 or there-abouts.
