    I know but he is claiming a 3000lb car w/ 400 hp can beat me on my bike its not possible for anyone on this forum from 0-30 starting to 120-130 max
    and if they think they can pm me and you can try for fun or cash

    i agree, i was making a blanket statement, didnt mean to offend everyone, i was merely just showing that bikes who have alot of hp with almost no weight still dont have the top end that a much heavier car has

    then why did daniels 630whp integra lose to nyteryders 440who 240 BAD?

    why did my 190whp CRX run door to door with Hugos Modded S4 before he had the turbo upgrades?


    im not trying to pick a fight with you josh, i understand what you are saying, but you are saying it the WRONG way.

    highway rolls take skill too. POWERBAND, GEARING, BRAKE BOOSTING, MPH, RPM, WEIGHT all play a role

    Numbers dont lie but you can have all the power in the world and not move very far
    Knowing your car is key the better you know it the better you can run and become a better driver w/ what you have.

    i guarantee if spoolin comes out with 600whp with drag radials, and does a highway roll, he gets killed by a much LESSER car.

    why? cause thats not spoolins arena.

    now take spoolin to the track and race the same car and my money is on spoolin.

    now whoe the better driver?

    If you referring to what i said that would come under the part of knowing your car =)
    and being a better driver for what your car is good at. In his case its the track and becoming a better driver for the track and maybe getting slicks not drag radials. i dont know him or anything about him so i am just going on what you said.

    It does take a little know how to race a car !!.. But you also need a car that is going to work... .. If you come out in your FWD with 600+ HP than you better be on some good tires and I still don't think it will have a chance under a 60 kick to 120... Even though I got alot of shit for my cars I still came out and ran, Even if it was a Higher HP car, Sometimes I won and sometimes I lost, I've had the NA Civics, Turbo 240, Mustang, And Bikes.. I've done my fair Share of races....... Its all in fun on the Highway but I do think it takes 1 Hell of a Car and a Driver to run from a Dig, Its all in what you build your car for though.. .. Thats my

    Man i keep hitting refresh work is so boring. And this convo is getting old point is it takes skill to do anything the more you practice the better you will become the problem with practice on a car is parts get old and break if done wrong and some are just not ment to hold what you are doing you also must know what you are going for and build it for what it is. Money talks....

    So which of those take skill? brake boosting is the only one and it takes about 5 min to learn how, all the rest are mechanical. I got a buddy with a FAST car, he does really well on the hwy and just not that well around a track or at the strip. He just isnt much of a driver.

    I dont know about that, HWY pulls are not a big thing to us, but is fun every now and then to mess with a guy in an expensive car. Brake boosting is easy and takes about 5 min retain muscle memory. Daniels car made a lot of power but for some reason didnt go fast probably the LS tranny. Spoolins white car always has been fast in every aspect.

    I you could consider hwy racing the same as marine drag racing. The both get a rolling start.
