not really...you can have a bitchin motor but cant get that power to the ground or could be a shitty driver(not saying you are) for instance...I have a slow car...if I didnt Id run em. but he went about it all wrong. Came off almost like a cop would..sketchy...That motor was built sure..no one runs 1/8th of mile these days...no one cars. its the 1320 or some kind of roll..
