Well lets put it like this...

Without a burnout the 60' times were nowhere near a 2.0.

Hell, when we took the Black Car which has been stuck in my basement out to the streetraces in Hickory and raced the 500 awhp Evo that stunk of racegas, the car's owner was invited as an afterthought... and he rode in the back seat, never drove his own car all night long.

It's nice having that sort of clout... and it doesn't come from being a n00b that logs into HT and discovers that it gets no better than OMG VTEC, AEM EMS, baller bearing turboz, and BFG drag radials.
