The conversation is about FWD launches. Not seeing how posting a launch of vehicle 3 seconds slower was gonna aid the point.

I think this guy is summarizing what you’re shooting for.

The Dodge Garage Reliant I posted was nearly 3 seconds faster and equally FWD.

That 10 second FWD K car I linked comes out of the hole pretty nice on the same type of bullshit tires...

I have confess I can’t exactly pinpoint the year or nation, but there is no after treatment at all on most Diesels of that vintage from the factory. Not even a cat.

I thought they were fairly solid stock, but as you said, 6x power and he was beating it like it was his cock and it owed him money for drugs.

Brotruck? The 10 second wagon?

Technically I think it was “on” a brass set of nuts so big that it’s a miracle he didn’t fall off of it. He must have bolted them down to the frame.

What? Ferrari’s get hit with the guzzler tax.

There are better ways to inspect connecting rods...

Ferrari makes 400 ft-lbs... It’s not like it’s a slouch.

I’m just impressed that it appears to be a stick, he’s power shifting the snot out of it (what, maybe 400-500 ft-lbs of torque?), and it didn’t scatter all over the track.

Appears to be FWD if you watch the car carefully.

Did Dodge overtake GM? I thought they were still #3.

Ancient open wheel race cars and not even a denim jacket. Are these guys just going around at like 20mph or are they really racing?

Ok, so parts. I will accept that. Aluminum cars do not take 3x longer to repair than anything else.

Yeah, those road gears saved it! With something like 4.11s it would have been like driving on an ice rink. I’m assuming it was also an automatic with that ratio so it was probably pretty easy to feather the gas out to launch it. Trying to drop 600hp on a stick car with gears on the street a bit more of a challenge.

Yep. I remember reading that way back when. Time will tell.

So which is the problem, because it sounds like you’re saying 2 things.
