Just go easy and fast and buy my turbocharged 350...lol

So far its only been g-teched at the "track" but the mighty G-tech was saying 12's. There is going to be a couple nice cars out this year. If I still have the camaro, it will be out. Too bad its built for road racing instead of drag. Just spins the tires everywhere. No traction at all.

Yup.. that sounds like what I would want for a road racing car... No traction

You can never have too much power. That was on crappy street tires.

What good is too much power when u'r chassis/suspension can't get it to the ground?

It's a road race car eh? I bet it just tears up the track with its leaf sprung rear end and chassis that looks like it was designed by 10 year olds. Could you have found a worse handling car?

I bet that Camaro handles as well as my Festiva did when it had 145/80R12's on it.

Wow fred - sometimes the stupid shit that comes out of your mouth is astounding.

Not only is in one of the most developed chassis in the world, with the most aftermarket support of any car on the planet, the tall spindle SLA front suspension is excellent. The rear leaves work just fine with the rear sway bar.

A independent rear is only marginally better in some ways. The adjustabilty for negative camber is always a plus in handling.

So until your car is faster than mine in a straight line, on a road course, and costs less, I will play with the camaro. I like how you talk shit about a car that kills yours in every way. No wait...you probally get better gas milage than me. Oh well...

But I guess not everyone can drive a festiva.

Its called driving the car. Just stomping on the gas out a corner will spin the car to the inside in a rear wheel drive car unless you actually drive the car properly. A high powered car is not very easy to drive and takes a deft touch to drive fast around a course.

Anyways chassis is not net up for drag. Its setup for road racing. It doesn't transfer weight at all. It doesn't overpower the chassis - it overpowers the tires if you try to manhandle it.
