TTG Vs other Platforms on the street
AtomicZ, if you have not figured out from my posts that I have real world experience building cars to go fast and some good knowlege of chassis dynamics and fabrication, it is just because of your lack of knowlege in these areas.
I called it that the RWD cars could be competitive before the most recent TI. I hit the nail on the head on a lot of issues that most here did not expect or believe.
99% of the people here write checks to get their cars built and only know the point of view their tuner presents. This is fine to enjoy the car; but these people feel they can make inane comments about they don't believe me because I might " drive a minivan, of be a d-bag in a Hemi Ram truck trying to race at every stoplight "
Well, my friend you are in the aforementioned 99% and I am certainly not the latter and let's leave it at that.
You will find out some of what I am about at the next TX2K, I am sure we could hang out and shoot the ****.
Have a good night.
Peace out.

Please enlighten us on what you have done. Built. Raced. Whatever. Until then you are a keyboard warrior on a soapbox shoving your opinion down everyones throat.
I own and race different platforms. All have their advantages and disadvantages.
I have wrenched and built my own cars and I have written the check. Not really sure how this makes any difference to you or anyone else.
LOL. Been wrong the entire time. Has no idea of what happened at the mile, wasnt there, and is otherwise full of incorrect information about most that he claims.
Napa auto parts isn't the same as building/working/racing cars for a living Pal.

Truth be told, I'd bet more than 50% of these crazy cars are owned by people that have done some serious work before but determine it's not worth there time to try and do something they don't do for a living. I could cut my own hair or pull a wisdom tooth out but I choose to let a professional do it, lol.
Just a guess but mullet, houstont, atomicz probably all have some car building experience....

Blah blah. I can google and sound educated.

I am official done feeding the troll.
See everyone at TX2K13.
Hey, I want to jump in on this. Where do I sign up ?
Paulie, can I stay in your basement so I dont have to sleep in Eric's Trailer like Dr. Jitsu did at TX2K8 ? (wait a sec, houses in Texas dont have basements !)
Peter, I am coming down to TX2K13 just to prove that I am still alive and actually fitter than ever (and to hound Mr. 300)

There was a 20+MPH crosswind that day. When the chute was pulled the car was on the brakes rather than still accelerating. Between the crosswind and the chassis being jerked/upset this caused the sideways motion and horrific crash thereafter.
Pretty scary watching it go down. Lets remember this was a record setting weekend for that car, and street cars in general.
Being that 300 knows all (I know it must be hard to get out in the REAL WORLD, when you have the Automotive Racing Information Hub in your basement) one would think he would have googled/youtubed/examined this.
Instead he wants to play internet Fabricator/Chassis Dynamics Guru. And take shots other peoples achievements.
Not directed at you in any way, just confirming the fact that this TROLL is a BS artist. 300s comments about the parachute on Holts UGR car are INCORRECT. He has no clue about any of the BS and slander he posted. There is no justification for someone who has built and accomplished NOTHING to sling BS at the walls.

I was at the mile when Holt crashed. Horrific.
I'm starting to think 300 is the NASA engineer that is helping DWiggs build the 2000hp SV at Covert Tuning.
Just curious, any reason the GTR got such a good jump on the TTG?
I noticed the G trapped 1mph faster, but why was it so far back? Did it spin hard off the hit? Maybe Peter can chime in on this.
Yea, I posted that a while back....several things happened that race:
1. I did NOT brake boost b/c I spun every time I brake boosted before this race.
2. Even NOT brake boosting I spun once into boost in 2nd gear.
3. I kept in the throttle and spun through most of 3rd...you can actually hear the tires skipping and fighting for traction.
That all together coupled with the fact that the GTR had brake boost on a button and 345 drag radials resulted in a pretty substantial jump (the T1R guys told me that they log his runs and he had virtually ZERO wheel spin, just dead hook)...plus from the looks of it, he hit it a bit early and I made the mistake of chasing. It was obvious by the MPH that I was catching him but just not enough room to make up the distance I lost at the hit. VERY fast and formidable opponent that got the best of me that day. I've won a lot in the last 15 years, and lost some...this one I simply lost.
