I have heard that term. But I honestly don't believe that it can be an absolute night and day difference like you are insinuating. I can see how one would be slightly faster or quicker than another. But not as drastic as one may think. That's just me though.

I am starting to agree with you.

I would take you up on that, but to travel up there or you travel down here I don't think is fair, unless we met halfway or did it when one of us happened to be in the area.

Derek what rx7 is saying is true. I'm sure you've heard the term "factory freak" meaning even though you have two cars alike doesn't mean they'll perform the same way. One car may dyno 375 HP then other 355 HP. Therefore one being a little faster or putting down very good power. As far as driving goes there was no doubt Derek could drive his car. His shifts were quick and clean. As the first run shows we were neck and neck, other runs as I noticed at the top of each gear I pulled, I hit 5th every run but let off seconds into it. Never ran it out. As far as our two cars they are indeed same mod and same setup.. (not exactly but you know what I mean) so should be within reason of each other. Again your upper rpms were no doubt where your car was falling I'd datalog and go from there. Wouldn't quiet start jumping the gun and pointing fingers. Again, great runs. And we will run them again soon

Like I said, datalog your car Derek lol. And rx7 I'll be using bama until I'm fully bolted.

I apologize if it seemed like I was pointing fingers. I'm not trying to take anything from you. We were definitely about equivalent in driving, from what I could tell. Only way to know would be internal cameras in the cars. Haha
I need to get my laptop com fixed first before I can datalog. It currently doesn't charge the battery, or recognize AC power, and the battery has like 5% battery left, which isn't enough time to run a datalog. |
