Ok for those who said they're gonna put their money on the Roush, PAY UP!

Wow, can't believe I missed this thread. Thanks all and thanks Firestang, congrats on your 12's dude. Wish I was there to see it!
Well, mod for mod ultimately I will get beat out by a V8. But when you compare the Roush to my car, from a cost perspective things do get interesting. I'm at 12.4 now, what does the Roush run?

no offense to rygen at all, but put both on street tires and the roush will win. Put both on drag radials, the roush will win. put rygen on drags and the roush on street tires and it will be a close race.

hey, i have an 86 svo and stock is runs w/ 15 psi of boost, i like the sound of over engineered. they respond very well to mods, lol. i saw a clip of a 9 second svo a while back

I agree on the Lancer, STI being built for high performance. But were they built for 20lbs of boost like some of these owners are doing after they buy them? Are they over engineered engines like the SVO? Just curious, and also, gotta factor in the cost of those cars. Don't get me wrong, I have a ton of respect for those cars and gave props to one yesterday.
