60fts is most important then keeping car at highest average hp during shifts.
i totally agree, for the best 1/4 mile time ur car can pull you definitely need a solid launch, the difference between a good and bad launch can be give or take 4 tenths, esp with a steep gear.

thats right, power is not worth anything if you cant put it to the ground. i have people check my car out all the time cause thay cant believe it can be that fast. i tell them its not fast, it just hooks and goes.second half of the 1/4mile takes forever cause i dont have any power[:@] but it does launch high 1.6's with 225rwhp"motor" and low 1.5's with 282rwhp"90shot"

people say many different things about what its all about, they say its all about gears, its all about traction, its all about the redline, i know everything matters, but what do you guys think its is all about,post your ideas dont hold back
Its all about EVERYTHING.

It is all about traction because it doesnt matter if you have an 800hp car; if you cant lay it to the pavement its worthless.

Its all about redline because if you do not know where to shift and where you can makes power and looses power it can make a huge different in a 1/4 time.

And its also all about power becuase if you dont have power..... well your just gay

It's all about Power. Nothing else matters. . I think Steve Saleen said it best when he said it for his slogan.

"Power in the hands of the Few". or Steeda's "Speed Matters".

For me it's all about Boost from a Turbo. Never had one up until 2 weeks ago, but I look back and can't even imagine not having boost again. I guess buying a second car is going to be limited ha ha ha. Looking for a 03/04 Cobra for a daily driver. (yes, I am insane, what's it to you) ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha. I thought about getting that done. ha ha ha. No I'm seriously not braggin. Just proud to say that I am. (Finally). Since I bought my car over 4 and 1'2 years ago I swore to myself that I would be boostin' eventually. I'm just keeping my promise to myself. I don't even have H/C/I. I skipped over all that just so I could boost. Now to make some money and make it worth while to have a power adder and to get the full potential out of it.
