My car is 298rwhp and 311rwtq @ 19psi but i was running 20-21 psi that day i don't know if 2 extra psi can make that much of a difference.

You pulled them because of weight and gearing. They arent all that fast from a roll.

I destoryed a black 05 model at a local raceway here. They both smiled beforehand thinking they would kill me they werent smiling afterwards.

I agree, 951's aren't made for hard launches like an american muscle car is. From a role those things aren't much but they realy get going through their 1st and 2nd gears. My little brother has one and man it goes. Around town on city streets there isn't much you can buy for under $100k to beat it street light to street light.

yea, and it could have been the 5.7L 350hp model. But even the 6L 400hp is still real heavy.

I did a couple roll ons with the 6L one and he could not stay with me.

Plus, his 400 was at the crank. Your 298whp works to about 340-350 crank. So much clsoer in comparison

03- Cobra's

Yea, if a standing start he would have got some room on you, but by 3rd you would have pulled him in.

That car could pull from a stop in a way that I could only dream of it. In order for me to do such thing I would need to abuse my clutch and I don't have any intentions of doing that. I stand no chance from a stop, but from a roll, well.. that is another story. I am ready to proceed with phase 2 of my project, hopefully next time I encounter that kid I will be able to pull more than 2 car lengths on him.
