Good run both of you...

Is it an auto or stick?

Z06 or just a C5?

440 RWHP doesn't add up to a 10 sec pass on the vette. the math just isn't there. Maybe low 11's but not really 10's. either way 440 is a lot of power to have. Must have been fun.

^my thoughts too. he would need 550 at the wheels, at least.

silver93, did you run him at 17psi, the setting where you got like 427hp? if so, you should have strolled him on the roll.....

well, his torque is gonna give him the only edge. that is the one poor thing about the smaller displacement that the rotary has. we'll never be able to make enough torque to keep up with those guys.

very nice car, nice run, and i bet he's making more power than he might be letting you in on.

torque doesnt make a diffrence, in 1/4 mile, if u start in the same rpm range and one is making more power then u are also makign more tq, its a simple formula where tq is calculated from, the only thing u can brag about is tires, please dont start this big engine has tq and small engine doesnt. thats what a turbo is for. if u make more hp u make more tq. u maybe are talking about low rpm tq that small engines dont have but this doesnt apply in this race. u can rev higher to make the poewr and torque the only thing is u have to not spin your wheels and effectively use that power.
