When you get tuned for juice, you should race Vic. Very comparable cars mod for mod.

I don't think David will make the power you think he will make. I hope I'm wrong and he makes the power but I doubt it. Hmm race Vic. Race against a 900 rwhp car that is lighter. Ummmmm yea about that.

Huh? I didn't say anything about David. Last I heard he was going back to a stock type blower set up. With the built motor and D1 he could still make good power that will be a fun street car. I'm sure at this point he doesn't care and would just like to have his car back to drive rather than making payments on a car he doesn't get to enjoy at all.

And what does it matter when I run out of juice if my car is 500 hp again. If I win the race that's all it matters, right? I just tell the guy to turn up his booooost next time.

Exactly.
IMO for a street car I prefer nitrous or Turbos. Several different tiers of people you can race.
My blue V for example. 700rw on boost, 900+ on spray. Really fun car against the local Vettes that I ran. That was stock motor junk

The difference is your V wasnt a slouch off bottle.. it was FAST on bottle and a LOT faster on spray.

My V on boost was a little faster then a nice H/C/I Vette. Big weight difference means I have to make way more power

I would love to have a V as a daily. They are really nice and yes they can be really fast too.
