And I talk a big game about it cause I know it will happen. This isn't my first fast car and especially not my first nitrous car. And then calling me a bench racer what the fuck did I do yesterday. I raced against a guy that makes 50 more hp and 200 more tq then I do and I killed him. Even though he was on shitty as tires according to you professionals it doesn't matter how you win. So yes I will continue to talk a big game cause what other new 5.0 have you seen in my league? I have a unique build that you will not see to often.
You are missing the point.. when you pull up and say " 500 rwhp".. no one cares if its out a 700 cube BBF or a 2.0 honda.. the only think you are going to beat with 500 rwhp are slow cars.

700-760 on a 300 shot? that's TERRIBLE..
on my nitrous tune i made 460 rwhp.. and made 650 on a 150 pill.. almost 700 with the 175 pills... why does it take 300 pills on a coyote to pick up that kinda power?

just sayin.. power is power.. when it comes to racing it doesnt matter how you make it or what you did to make it... if you dont have enough saying " well its only a 5.0" doesnt cut it.. when 3.0 supras are making 1300rwhp.

I haven't dyno my car with nitrous. That's what Steve thinks it will make. I think and TS thinks it will be over 800 for sure.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

And how much did that 3.0 1300 hp supra owner spend to make all that power? Probably more then I earn in a year. Like I said I'm not trying to compete or be like those guys.

who cares what they spend? i could make 1000 rwhp in a 89 fox coupe with what your car cost stock..

why does it always come back to cost?
You know how i funded my vette? i worked my ass off.. i came here an uneducated immigrant and CLAWED My way to where i am working years of 18-20 hour days...

why does everyone think DR people are made of money? pretty much EVERYone on DR who has money worked their ass off to get where they are now... Sounds like you need to work harder if you want nicer things....

I work my ass off. I earn every penny I make. I have other priorities other then trying to have the fastest car in Dallas.

It doesn't matter what I think, as long as you are happy with it is what matters. It's just my opinion.

As I said, it's relative to what each individual thinks is fast or what they want. It's my opinion from being exposed around other friends, I don't think a 600-800rw car that weighs more than 3400lbs is "fast". It's a fun, quick street car certainly but not "fast". It's enough to win most of your races while cruising around town running into random people, but if you go to car meets with other car people are to race, chances are at 600-800rw you're not the fastest car at the meet.

We're spoiled these days. Years ago my 93 540rw Cobra was a fast car when most foxes were bolt-on cars running low 13's- mid 12's. Blower cars weren't all that common. Now, hell, if you aren't making at least 1000rw you aren't even competitive with all the street monsters running around the DFW area. lol.

It's all relative bro. Don't take it personally.

How often do you run into those street monsters on the road? Pretty much never unless its at a car meet like you said. So when my car is all said and done I'm sure just crusing around I won't have any problems beating people. But I'm sure ill get caught off guard and find one of these street monsters as you put it and just crush me. Which is fine by me.

my supra was Draggin bitches when it only made ~450 rwhp...
the fact that i have a 1000 hp car and im not even CLOSE to the top of the food chain in DFW is realy a sign.. all the guys who think my car is some uber street monster prove that they are used to playing in the sand box...

Yeah 1100-1300 rwhp or whatever your car makes isn't a street monster. Stop being so damn humble about. Sure you're not on top of the food chain but damn man you have a insane vette that all of us would love to own.
