Post of the game-- in the end every dyno argument comes down to others believing the numbers-and that is never going to happen. Actual times at a independent contest have the highest credibility, along with data.
In my view there is nothing to lose-surely interesting to get ones own comparative information.What these events show is how difficult it really is to get HP numbers up to a point where performance improves . I do not see amy losers-- everyone has made a big knowledge gain either by the direct involvement and for others following these forums.
Thankyou to all of you.

 

Kevin,

I agree and have told Rob and Akram (he built Robs car, Tim, and it is tuned by Proto) that all Rob really has to do is get a verified 60-130 time. Even a low 5 would get him some respect, IMO.

For the life of me I can't understand why he does not do it. It is really one of those very bizarre things that I just can't understand, especially since a good 60-130 time was what motivated me to do all the things I have done to/with my car (had a wonderful time explaining to my wife yesterday why I need to drop 10K into my new intake system and IC's....5.5 here I come).

Having said that, however, the type of humanitarian work that Rob has done has always bought him a pass in my book. Thats just me, though (I guess I am frustrated that I went into academics and not medicine, maybe)

I do understand the frustration w/ the 6 speed community w/ his unwillingness to get some verified data (dynos don't count) for his car. It seems to be a point of obstinacy on his part so in that regard the virtual evisceration may be partially justified.

 

Thanks for the no BS reply..... good luck with the upgrades.

 

Rob and Akram nice to meet you in person. Just fyi: I saw the run b/n Rob's car and the 1200HP Mustang the next day. Went head to head but Rob's car took the Stang by 2 feet at the end marker. Later I heard they got disqualified b/c his car jumped the gun first with the TT G, SW.

 

The question I have is.... Why would a guy make all these outrageous claims, call out guys that have actually proven their cars and expect to not get **** when he fails. I think he should start a bit lower down the food chain before calling out the big dogs.

 

Now the Mustang has 1200 hp....I call B.S.! I have built and raced Mustangs for 15 years, and I know for a fact, that Mustang have no where near 1200 hp Art. 1200 hp is VERY hard to make with a Whipple or KenneBelle blower.

 

That is what I was told brother over there. The car was moving pretty quick I must say and you are correct it was probably close to 8-- or 9--Hp level.

 

Why would you claim it to be 1200 then? Trust me Art, I would love to see the Porsche win the race but I don't think Robs car lives up to his claims. I like to speak softly and carry a big club.

 

I saw Marty at the Mile, did you come down? Can't recall bro.

 

I did... Stopped over to introduce myself but you were very busy with your new toy. (and I cant blame you) So I figured I would stop back later, but ran out of time.

 

What was I doing, tanning My freakin neck is burned like a Tomato. Sorry to miss you bro, that sucks. Thanks for coming by though. Marty and I talked for a bit. He even saw me bringing the car back when the tire blew, I bet my face was pale then and my underpants were wet

 

Thanks to all of you who came out and ran. I have to say, the hospitality my crew received in TX was spectacular.

Beautiful weekend - Now I must sleep.

 

I can't believe Sloss(S-351) did not come up & introduce himself.Sloss what the hell?

 

He and Kev have a couple inches on your Paulie. There must be something in the water up there!

 

Are we done yet?
