What is the point of going over 300bhp on a front wheel drive?

<< < (5/14) > >>

Janner_Sy:
Agreed. How a car performs up the strip is irrelevant to anything other than the traffic light gram prix.
I still think 300-330hp is the optimum though

A cage?  Not really going to help in a straight line

But you have to run a cage if you run slicks on at the Pod - rulez iz rulez.  :wink:

ROH ECHT:
I love the new power...even on Sumitomo HTR ZIII's
I just went from 0 to 120 mph in 13.3 seconds with the new tune...down from 15.8 seconds w/giac  :happy2:
Granted, to avoid wheel spin I cannot give it full throttle until 50 to 55 mph...

Big power on a FWD car is obviously going be difficult at times but when you get that big stupid grin on your face it's worth it.
