Man if your not making a 1000whp you don't have nothing at this event. 700hp is good power but here at this event you are on the bottom of the Totem pole here

yes there is fast ****, but there were way more cars under 700 then above. to say there at the bottom is dumb. i believe the avg. hp for the dyno day was 6xx something.

I'm not here for an arguement. All I was saying is when you get 20+ 1000+ horse cars together 700hp is at the bottom of the totem pole.

One of the fastest cars I have been in. What's amazing is that it still has the stock clutch in it.

all this knowledge from the passenger side? I would agree with billy, there was not to many fast cars out as everyone predicted and I'll take a NOS 700hp car over a 1000hp turbo lambo any day of the week... All you would hear is... I was catching him!!!... funny thing is, the race is already over.

BTW.. you don't want any part of my 433hp car... I must be really be "bottom of the barrel" ... but i like it there.. just makes people's feeling hurt that much more when they try to race dyno sheets rather then cars.

All I know is that I was catching him. That's all I know. I make 1250hp here in a minute. Wait, Wait, Wait, here it is.

There wasn't that many fast cars there. Well lets see you had 5 twin turbo underground lambos there making 1200+ horse, you got Joe dirt white twin turbo/supercharged ford gt, black supercharged/nitrous ford gt, a red TT C6 Z06, twin turbo vipers, and then all the big horsepower supras. I would say there was plenty. The most you will ever see in one spot on the street.

A very wise statement. Car weight, trans ratio, power curve and operating RPM all play a part in the end result.

Was cool meeting a couple of the guys there. I ended up 9-6 for the weekend. 408 engine, no power adder, 500rwhp. I didnt go till friday and so I missed all of thursday obviously and friday night I was throwing the serpentine belt off. Got a new one saturday and it never came off. Anyone in this thread in the group hanging out at the conoco after the cops broke up the omni?

Lets post links of videos that you find in here also, or is that against CF rules?

I did not get into with the fast one. I would have ran him but dissappeared after we got up on the highway. Not saying he was scared of me or that I would have won. Just didnt get a chance to run him
