Ehh.. here we go :doh:

Nice avatar.. id hit it. Why dont we make this a track meet when the new season hits.. we can make this an "official" event. This is out of control.. In the mean time since a lot of places aren't running.. go get a dyno.. compare numbers.. then lets set a date when the tracks are in full swing.

im not trying to start anything.. i just want videos of it. i have dyno'd an everything, i just dont have digi camera, or scanner, so i cant put it up. maybe ill ask my girl to.

i just know allot of people want to see this kinda race.
def something i would love to do for the summer on the track.

Goto the library or something of the sort.. they have scanners.

I'd love to see it too..

You guys can at least start with dyno numbers.. then if thats not enough to arque the case at hand... then race. Its going to come down to who has the best power/driving skills. If my damn car didn't get so jacked up.. I'd be boosted.. I would race anyone.. anywhere.. I just love to race.

I cant wait for ScionBandit to get his engine built.. that should be interesting :)

God, I wish the turbo didnt kill the warranty... I just cant justify buying a new car and slapping a turbo on when I cant get warranty work (especially since I make $hit for money)

I was wondering when they were going to post that. I ate dinner with them when they came through town, and I told them to make sure they get some vids. I asked Keshia if any S/C TC's show up, while Kenny was about to make his first pass, and she said ZERO, not one TC with S/C. Bummer.

Actually, I think that was just the first pass in that vid. Cause she said at one point they almost posted a 12.3

Yeah, that's what Kenny said. Even worse, he said the car was running rough before his first run, but it was too cold to troubleshoot it. Later he found the vacuum line came off the throttle body if I recall right. :rofl: 11's for sure is in that car.

Thats probably one of the most naive posts ever made.... I would put money that there is a, or will be a, S/C'd tC that could rape a Turbo tC.. Its all about time and money.. Lets see, there are already many more stages for the Turbo cars, the S/C has only been out for a little over a month.. There will soon be stages for it, and I would bet you will see some good numbers from the S/C

If i am correct in saying this, forgive me if i'm wrong.. but the fastest cars in the world (top fuel) are supercharged :P i know this doesn't really apply.. but just thought it was a nice poke at the supercharger haters.

Those top fuel cars are faster than the veyron. Fastest production vehicle yes (if you can even call it a production vehicle), but not fastest overall.

who cares? both systems can get to 300 hp so Both are fine, turbo costs less for the tc but is a little more work to maintain sc is more expensive but you pay for waranty simpler install and stuff.
