Hey twisted you said that you have not made a pass down the track yet. Be careful about speculating times and speeds, trust me, you never know what problems you might have when you go to the track yourself, and then you may end up on a post like this, and someone saying your car is slow. I guess that people forget, that something always happens, sometimes good, sometimes bad, just be prepared for the worst. Best of luck whenever you make your first pass, but you heard it here first.... it is not as easy as it looks!!!

They come with 320 from the factory supposedly even though thats a lil under rated since alot of stock cars put down between 290 and 310rwhp. Stock trap ranges generally from about 105 to 109ish. Thats why its a little suprising that they were only doing 104 seeing as even a poorly running bpu car can normally get around 114 or so.

LEADFOOT: I didnt speculate on any times since I'm sure I wont do that well on the first several passes and it will probably take a few trips to get better with it. I've made many passes down the track just not in this particular car so I know that its not so easy. I just said that my trap speed should be within that certain range since my car runs strong. If something happens with the motor or whatever then I would expect for it to be lower. Anyway its all in good fun and i cant wait to get a clutch and break it in so I can make some runs again.
