Street racing at its finest!

I wish some of you guys with 12's and under cars (I know, a whole lot of you) could come down here and wup up on some imports at the races. The car to beat here is a Type R running 12.5 all motor (some like 210hp at the wheels). He raped an LS1 Camaro off the line and the guy in the LS1 gave up before he even shifted to 2nd. He runs slicks out there so he gets everyone out of the hole. There are also other high 12 cars out there but this car seems to be the one to beat. They make it seem as if 12's are the **** , but then I read how so many run better than that. Also there are hundreds of cars here that come out to the street races so who ever can beat this guy (he has lost to a Skyline GT-R and a Supra TT and a SC Saleen but not by much but cars like that are too few) will be watched by an audience of 500+.

Mid 12's is very respectable but not unbeatable. I am surprised not more people win against him. He must be a good driver too to his credit.

I think a GT with gears, slicks, bolt ons and NOS should take him. The mods would take the GT in low 13's and the NOS in low 12's. What do you think?

There is a difference between "CARS" and "CONTRAPTIONS". Anyone can gut the "car" out of anything, put a lot of horsepower in it, and go fast. It used to be you argued "power to weight", now we argue "performance to dollar". Just remember, if we all drove the same damn car (ie Mustangs) life would be pretty boring. If Dodge didn't build the Viper, what would the bar be set at? The Viper (like the ZO6) is for brand recognition. They probably aren't too profitable. Factory cars get "reiewed" properly modified cars get "respect". I get sneered at everyday in my "OLD" Mustang (Yes, even by new Mustang owners), untill I blow by em on the straights & in the corners. Then they show a little respect - that's what its all about.
