i always wanted to find the "free" horsepower, but it cost to much to do it!

Jim check your PM.

I didnt say I dont believe him I said its hard to believe. I see what he is getting at the crx is front wheel drive and has less rotating mass so it gets more of its power to the ground than a Z06.

I know guys running 10.2's ........I see them dump another $3,000.00 into there car and only pick up a tenth or so. That is why I say it is hard to believe.

To clarify I believe him but just dont understand how it helped that much.
