Plazma, maybe your video of your car could be of some interest here.

Is that a fair fight? Drag radials vs stock tires? If you stick drag radials on my car it would run 11's instead of high 12's. That makes a big difference. The terminator in that video couldn't hook up. Doesn't matter how much power you have if you can't connect....

You also have to take into account driver experience (which makes a huge difference at the track).

I'd love to see the SVO vs an 04 cobra on the same dyno.
I missed this or would have responded along time ago. His so called stock tires are nitto 555r whihc was listed with his mods. The tires were 295 wide. My car which in the video had killed the clutch (hence the crappy burnout) was running a 235 mt drag radial. I personally think the mt is a better tire but would rather have the extra 4 inches of rubber on the ground if it would fit.

Guess he had street tires too? Must be why he jumped me out of the hole and forced me to run him done. (i didn't post that video or title btw)

This v-8 must have needed tires too?

Hope you get the point. The v-8 cars are fun and all and I have owned several and currently own a 95 gt 5 spd but anyone who thinks the v-8 is better because it is a v-8 is just silly.
