Maybe a dragstrip where everyone could race from a 40mph roll!

There's no point, the domestics would win just by overwhelming numbers. The number of serious contenders on the import side would be, oh, maybe five or six? You see qitstrn or 60-1ek hit tens, lancerman might be a contender but at the same time without a cage that would get him booted anyway. There are a few lurkers with really fast imports, but they probably won't be there. You'll have a few in the 11 second range, more in the 12 second range, but basically at every level until the 13's and 14's the domestics are going to have 5 times more representatives than the imports. They'd have to hot-lap the entire time.

Hahaha, the infamous track roll race! 3 honks at the 330! Got a thread locked the last time I joked about that.

i dont think urfuct means another track day more like picking the top ones to duke it out .not everybody and their moma showdown.it could work from a "team" standpoint. have a certain amount of players from domestic and import,have "similar" cars with "similar" hp numbers compete in 1/4 mile,1/8 mile,auto-x,,time attack and etc. and whatever team gets the most points wins.

Now THATS a good idea. Maybe it'd be better if it was "similar hp/weight" #s...so you can see if some guy with a light beast can out do raw HP

Because a Civic with 500 HP and a F body with 500 HP...thats two different cases. I'd be willing to bet the civic would win, assuming everything stayed together and they had similar tires and whatnot.

How are you going to come up with similar weight/HP cars?

How much would you be willing to bet? Civics that can put 500 horsepower to the ground and actually use it are few and far between.
