I don't see what the big deal is, didn't a Stock ZO6 break into the 10's with just a set of DOT drag radial's?

the point they guy above is making is that a 445whp vette still runs 10's and a there's a vid lying around somewhere of a 725hp twin turbo running 154mph and low nines.

here ya go but of course it wouldn't rally as well or drive around the snow as well as the awd. They each have their high points. There is alot of frictional losses. And when you see a number of 800whp you have to consider the smoothing factor of the dyno operators.They can inflate the numbers or make the numbers look small. It just depends on the math being used

Fast WRX. Not even an STi.

The guy is on street tires (not drag radials) and his clutch was shot. There is a thread over on one of the subbie boards.

I was being sarcastic;......since when does it take 800WHP to run 10's...unless you have a supra of course...lol
