nuff said. Go drive a 500 hp car down the dragstrip and then tell me it takes more skill to drive a 200 hp car in the twisties.

If we are talking street cars... I think it takes much more skill to drive a 200hp car @ road atlanta than a 500hp car at the drag strip.

You take your avg. driver and put them in a 500hp car thats setup for drag racing and I bet the times will be much closer than if you took that same group of people to road atlanta and put them in a 200hp car. If any of you guys know Mel Meyers. He went 1:39's @ road atlanta in his 200rwhp na e36 m3 street car. Very few drivers can do that. I've seen many more drivers go 10's and 9's in street cars.

Proper tires (ET streets) on a 500hp car should hook after the 60ft so the difference b/w drivers is in the launch imo. A driver @ road atlanta has SOOOOO many more variables to deal with.

Anyways, I'm not bitching about oh I'll get you in the twistys, just been driving oval tracks and road courses w/ race cars and street cars for 10 years and wanted to add my .02 That said let me know when you want to do some pulls! I want to test out the new setup. I'll be out of town till Jan 7th but anytime after that will work for me.

you are probably right about RA. I was really just referring to the street in general..ie the mountains or whatever. My old turbo laser made 200 whp and it was easy to drive in the mountains..not sure what it would do at RA as i've never been there. Now i would say taking a 500 hp car in the turns is harder then driving a 500 hp car down the dragstrip.

My car is down right now while i do some additional tuning and mods but we will get together soon and do those pulls.
