emanon Report post Posted March 24, 2016 Tuner wars on the same platform (Lambo in this case) are always fun but Lambo vs GTR (the only natural competitor) is also a blast. It would be great to line up a couple classes to go head to head without too much finger pointing. A minimum weight, maximum tire, designated fuel and stock style transmission and suspension would go along way to obtaining equal footing without stifling innovation. I'd love to see at least one mid-level class and then an anything goes class on a certain size radial with gasoline, DCT and at least 3500 pounds with driver, for example. 3500 is probably a reasonable race weight for both platforms and personally I'd rather have ballast than back seats or a radio (fire and projectile hazards) in a 200mph car. Max tire and stock suspension would keep tubbed cars out. Gasoline and DCT keep the innovation trickling down to the street cars. Man I want to go racing.

BLK85 Report post Posted March 25, 2016 I dont think this is a Checkmate move towards Heffner. He has the skill to get there. UGR just did it first. And they will benefit more from it, even though both can do it. Every time I see SSP posted I cringe, They originated from my area and failed. Not because they were bad at what they did, but other reasons. I hope Jason doesnt get fucked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrinB Report post Posted March 25, 2016 That's great. I always wondered what a 200 mph drag car could do with twice the room. non prepped surface in the 1/2 mile so its hard to compare vs a prepped drag strip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Report post Posted March 25, 2016 non prepped surface in the 1/2 mile so its hard to compare vs a prepped drag strip Obviously, but a car with the power and chassis to trap 215 in the 1/4 on drag radials is going to back half like a missile. We'll see if/when he starts pushing through the tires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
