Like that Tech said, they wagon wasn't going to go too far, but he made it until like the 4th round or so. But had he not had those 28x10.5s, he wouldn't have even beat me. Lol

Yeah, I've been talking to his wife on YouTube about videos and such of the races. She doesn't let him race her car at all. Lol

I agree that cars should be inspected under and inside the engine bay. If they really wanted to make this fair, more people would come out and enjoy it.
I think Sportsman class should only be pony cars, not sports cars. Vettes are kind of hard to place because simple mods make them faster than most of the other current cars in Sportsman.

I think that's where he would fall anyways. Wasn't there another s/c 5.0 or 4.6 there Friday that was put into Supercar, only because they were originally N/A? To me, that makes the most sense. A N/A to super charged car should go Sportsman to Supercar. An already turbo or supercharged car that is given non stock components (bigger snails, Whipple, etc) should go to Outlaw from Supercar.

Yeah I know half of the cars running super have lots of mods but the rules changed this year to have "legal" mods by shops hence why the officials put me in super and not outlaw even though I have cam and head work done. The rules state no engine internals or after market blowers or turbos, but like I said it falls onto how fast you run and what the officials say. For example if he comes out and blows the doors off that gtr he would get pushed over to outlaw.

Yeah. I completely agree. It's hard to judge the fastness of a car just off mods. I mean hell, there are guys out there in Cobras making 700 rwhp off the stock M112 Eaton that has been ported by Steigmeir to a Stage 5, and it still looks exactly like a stock blower on the outside. LOL

There were only 100 or so 2002 cobras made an they were all shipped to Australia. If it is indeed an 02 it is very rare, and I wouldn't have KB it. I would have wrapped it in bubble wrap and stored it away.

Why did they skip 2002 anyways? I mean you go 99-01, then 03-04? I guess they needed time to upgrade the 99-01 after they sucked. Lol
