There's a local Chicago guy.. Paolo... (lic plate ENZO WHO)... he talks the talk, but walks the walk. He used to run a built NA Viper, ripped it out and went supercharged, and now, he's going with Turbos.
The point is, every time he makes a claim, he has evidence. He's got dyno graphs, vids, time slips, etc. He'll do a flying mile in over 200mph, as I've seen in in-car vids. He's also dyno'd ~1000rwhp. Traps over 150mph in 1/4.
I can't stand bench racing. Either you've done it, or you haven't. All this talk about I am capable of this and it should do that... big deal. Not doubting anyone, of course, but for gawd sakes, let's see some proof. Put up or shutup!

All I have to say is that all our cars are the same speed when they are parked in the garage while we type away on the net about stats and tests.
go drive and have some fun kids...its a nice day out!

A 150 mph trap speed is anywhere from mid to low 9s... You have to have in excess of 850 RWHP on a Viper to actually achieve that.

Hey as much as Lambos make the panties drop (credit where credit is due), I've raced a couple of Diablos (modded) and Murci and neither kept up well (check racingflix.com. They're more for show than go. A guy here we know tried to play the modding game with his Diablo. They just don't adapt well to that kind of stuff... Also I don't think they were ever intended to be tracked or anything like that. Too heavy and sloppy in terms of handling....

No worries crash Bah that's the thing about drag racing though, it's frustrating more than anything. It's always coulda/shoulda/woulda etc... which is why I'll just say the fastest I've gone is 11.1 and the best trap speed is 127.8. Is there a 10 in the car on paper? Yeps but it's not been recorded yet

Just changing the exhaust, loses 100pds, and adds 40rwhp.
