Lankhoss i get what you are saying, im not denying what you are posting. Sure it sucks to tell someone to handicap their car to race.

I guess the question is, how do i race Smacked

A) making it somewhat fair
B) Without making my car make 500whp

In my mind, tires is the easiest way to do that. I didnt really want to ask for 2 cars from the line

I guess that's the difference between you and I, I'd just concede that it's a faster car and not bug him to do a silly race like that.

I've seen the tires he uses for normal driving, and I was also there one night when he tried to race (from a roll I believe) on them...and I KNOW they are completely useless.

I see your side of things, I just don't think it's really a "fair" thing to ask. If you were going from a roll, it would be different.....but from a dig, traction is absolutely vital. I think you are exagerrating the advantage he has from being RWD as well. I know RWD is a lot better than FWD, but the Terminators are not good at hooking from a stop. For one thing, EVERY Terminator you see has tires that are over 2" wider than stock. So if you are racing a Terminator with the stock rear wheels, he's completely fucked. Mustangs have pretty soft suspensions, as well as having a lot more front weight bias than say a Camaro does. They are iron blocks, DOHC (the heads are HUGE), plus they have the extra weight of the supercharger....that all makes the motor MUCH heavier than the aluminum small blocks that GM uses. On top of that, because of the supercharger, they have a LOT more torque than a N/A V8. So when you add all of this together, it makes for a pretty shitty platform to launch from.
