    Yes. I don't pay attention to swaps in different cars so I don't know what they "should" run. Regardless, I think it is fairly impressive. I don't get how you can say 12.5 ISN'T fast. That's faster than almost every car he passes on his way to work. I'd def be happy with that.

    Don't get me wrong its quick, but 12.5 is not mine blowing for the power he makes. I understand he wants to keep it a street car or watever but 300hp on a radial is pointless in my eyes, I have a street car that I drive everyday and would much rather run on slicks, street tires and torque don't really go well together when ur trying to put down a decent time. By no means am I bashing the car or the times it ran, car is still a monster regardless.

    True 12.5 isn't mind blowing at all but perspective is everything. It's all about what context it's in. What did the winner of all motor comp car trap and what was the e.t.? The power I am making is in a heavy DC5 chassis that has a setup that is far from ideal for drag racing yet the car traps higher, is only a few tenths off and weighs more than the current, quickest, all motor RSX.

    Sure to some 300whp on radials/street tires on the strip may be pointless but so is building an all motor RSX. It's what I had to start with though and it's what I'm doing and having fun with. If everyone went for the best setup and didn't do different things, different ways and with different cars it would be pretty boring. How long before we all got sick of all having boosted LSX powered FDs?
