Reaction time 2.0+? Maybe he needs to add an alarm clock to wake him up when the light goes green!

I'll be my life that the 2.0+ RT is to allow for turbo spool. That's a small motor and would need as sec to get the turbo going. It's a rather common practice of turbo cars to sit at the line for a sec after the light goes green to allow for this. :)

:? Now imagine what he could have run if he knew how to drive. Stevie Wonder could have gotten a better reaction time... Good thing he's driving Jap-crap. If he had good all American torque from a big-block, he'd be in the wall with a quickness...
(still fast though :oops: )

Look at it this way - you'd need to be below 12 to beat him head-to-head, even with his R/T ... and I don't know too many people in FBE pushing 450+ HP, let alone out of a 2 liter engine ...

I had to laugh at a caption in this month's Street Machine.

It said "This very clean Toyota Supra didn't have the usual bodykit fitted"

Shame it was a Mitsubishi Starion then....

At 450 hp, I couldn't help but put that in My Favorites and sign his guest book. Maybe we should invite him to join fbe!!! :lol:

Doesnt matter if he is running a fusion reactor or a turbo. To stage a turbo is nothing more than lighting the first light, spool up and push into the stage beam. Go to a real race event and you'll see them doing it. I saw pro 5.0 cars stage all day last week, with .450 lights or better.

Low 12's btw Pfffffttttt!

Power to litre is BS, Power to lb is where its at.
