    i am confused. if your car has a bad clutch and his car has 200 more HP than yours, will it even be a race? not being a dick or smart ass, i just dont understand the race.

    Im assuming all motor vs boosted...lag, traction, weight, etc there is a going thing that it takes 200 more hp from a boosted car to beat an na car

    I wouldnt say 200 man . the street is a whole different story also because one of all motor advantages is the take off at the track a role race takes that factor out . Sure it takes more turbo hp but not 200 . Joey made 400hp in a car that weighs the same as mine ran a 11.0. i made 253 running 12.3 147hp difference and he is killing me . Now most 400hp hondas dont almost break tens but just trying to make a point . I do really good against boosted cars at the track but there always trapping ten to twenty mph faster then me in the quarter even if i win . point is there running you down so when you lengthen the race to 120 you give all your all motor advantages back to the turbo guy . All motor is nasty if you know your gearing and what mph you can win at lol. Simple fact is sooner or later the turbo car is coming back arounf you weither it be 100 or 160 ots coming . I used to kill my friends 260hp turboed gsr hatch with my stock 185hp h22 but he trapped 110 and i trapped 97. He caught me at the finish line every race but still barely lost . Add 20 feet he wins every time hands down.

    252plus hp and 34.5 miles to the gallon all motor. 12.2 at 111

    Its a brand new clutch just not made to handle his hp . As long as he role races he should be fine but it could slip at fourty just depends on how hot he gets the clutch.
