bluebeast probably has the same amount of money into his fwdFI 4cyl and is running over 3 seconds faster [sm=dontgetit.gif]

I think someone needs a trip to driving school
haha...bluebeast also has about 160 more horses too

I figure IWHINE is making about 220 to the wheels...blue is making 370-380 [I think that's close]...but yeah, put them in the same cars with the same power...and my vote would be for bluebeast, 10 out of 10 times.

***to IWHINE: dude, you gotta stop talking about how bad it is from a dig. Launching these cars don't "suck", you just need to practice. If you practice until you pull a 2.0-2.2 on street tires you'll do much better. Can a RWD pull a better 60 ft? Yeah, but not my too much. Specially if you're at the track and can pull a 1.6-1.7 on slicks. I don't use slicks and never have...but I know it's possible. I DO know, though, that a 2.0-2.2 is very doable on the street---just gotta practice and stop making excuses.

The attitude is killing any respect anyone might have when you beat a stang roll racing...just an FYI buddy

that is true. No matter how technical everyone here can get, a win is a win, so, if you beat a 13 second car with your 15 second car, just because he sucked as a driver, that shows that you won. I gie you props WHINE. With a little more work, your car will be even more bad a** then it is now. At the track, how do you take off? Do you hold at about 2500-3000 RPM before dumping? Or do you floor it from ground up?

See that's where your thinking is totally off. You not beating 13 second cars, yea you might take them from a high MPH roll but that is not racing, it's just fooling around on the street. Either way I really could care less, I have not see one Cobalt at the track or anywhere else that I need to worried about.
