I always bothers me to see this in the mags, here, ect... I just don't believe it. Why is it that if you watch NHRA, no matter where they are, the cars always run VERY close to what they ran at a totaly differant track, cross the country, in the mountains, in the vally, ect...

To me this is like a ricer saying, Yea it runs 12s, but....and it is a 15 sec car. I mean really, if a dyno shows 400hp in NY, bing the car to La. and it will show 452hp? I don't buy it.

Help me understand or is this really just bull.
