So what does it run at the track?

I dunno... it puts about two or three buslengths from 40-120 on a car that ran 12.7 @ 109. Whatever that computes to.

That is ricer talk. It can trap 120-125 and still run a 14 second 1/4. Get it to the track and see what it will do.

While I agree with you that it would be good to see this car hit the drag strip. I disagree about that being "ricer" talk. The same logic youre using to say that the car can trap 120-125 and run a 14.0 can be reversed on a car that has an abnormally low et for its trap thus making it only good at a drag strip or if you happen to be able to pull up to a willing car to run from a traffic light. Since this is a street car which is much more likely to being rolling along and encounter someone in that manner I think it was a perfect demonstration of what the car is capable of. Particularly since it has'nt been to the track in its most recent configuration.

No doubt though with how light it is that with the proper set of tires it would lay down an impressive e.t. for its power level. I know im anxious to see what that might be.

What? If you can't run a number at the track and daily drive it, Then you roll race aka ricer talk. I daily drive my truck and it will perform just as well at the track as it will on the street. A set of slicks will do wonders.

No. It's not ricer talk at all sorry. He used an example of the cars ability to accelerate from one given speed to another and just because it was'nt from 0-XXX does'nt make it ricer talk. A car that can get off the line well but then falls off as it goes down the 1320 due to either gearing or power to weight or both is no better or worse than another car that does'nt get off the line as well but picks up acceleration as it goes down the track if both cars run the same E.T.

So just because he used an example of a speed contest thats most likely to occur between two street cars does'nt mean hes talking like a ricer. Yes slicks do wonders and yes I want to see this car at the strip but I'm sorry on the whole "ricer talk" thing we just disagree.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but roll racing is ricer talk.

Well spoken argument.
