I thought they weighed about the same as a firehawk. Maybe the new V6 is the "old" torque monster.

That vid won't prove the TA is running 100%. Take it to the track and post the results for both..

I think people would rather see track videos , the numbers would tell the whole story ,
not to say your car didn't do what you say , but clearly you would have a hard time with a stock fire hawk , let alone a modded one .

At the track he will run a 12.8 again while I'll break high 13's. Not sure what that would have anything to do with it. It's an unfair race to begin with. The point of my post was that in that speed I barley lost. If we repeated that race again it would consistently be a loss from anywhere of 1-2 loss (assuming all goes well WITH out his car having any problem). I know my car is slower. Just posting the results of two cars with no problems of a race that occurred in Mexico , and it is what it is.

ok, what was his 60' times ,1/8 mile times and trap
and what was yours ??? and if your gonna lose 55 to 110 anyway , why not lose at the drag strip ?
the reason I said drag strip is cause a lot of people were saying there was a problem with the fire hawk ......so prove them wrong with numbers to back it up
I mean if you don't see how this has anything to do with it , what in the world would video taping another race 55 to 110 and you losing prove ???? still gonna get the comments like he didn't try , or its broke

A car or two is a lot when your at the track so I don't see why it's not believable. I mean he might be exaggerating a bit but not completely impossible.
