I know these are stock car times, but I am happy to report that MY head ballooned.

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."

Hey, I know I've told some of y'all that I'm leaving around March/April. No change to that, but I've got 2 new venues that could be option for me. One starts with I and the other starts with A. Good news is that whichever place I go will be for no less than 12 months. That's 12 track days I'll miss.

I never knew that a stock SS Baracuda or Dart was that fast. How can a car with 425 hp, beat a car with 660 hp (Enzo).

Does anyone care to enlighten me on how a 68 Chrysler with 425 hp does the 1/4 mile in 10.5 seconds? What kind of suspension does this thing have?

Yeah, and didn't C&D say that the Enzo was the quickest thing they had tested 0-60mph? Barely beaten by a 70's or 80's era Kawasaki?

I believe the Ferrari is built

for more top end. The gearing between the two would make all the difference. Try a half-mile or mile race and it would be a different story.

Specialization is the key.

How did my <450rwhp Mustang go mid 11's while there are 600rwhp Supras that have a hard time bustin' out of the 12's?

Same situation. :banana:

Oh yeah, and the hp listed is the "factory rating". I'd bet that the Enzo claim might be bumped up a bit, and I know for sure that the old school factory horsepower #'s were downplayed significantly...
