If you want to prove anything, I will be at Ennis next weekend if you want to come beat me with with your car.
I'll gladly be waiting. I will never go to Northstar.

I hate to bring this back up. But I had 3.31s from the factory, swapped it for 3.55s why? 3.55s were dead split in the middle for drag and hwy rolls. I love the 3.55s and the 3.31s are great too. Ask David(phuck face) but 3.31s vs 3.73s would be real close. Yes the 3.73 would accelerate faster but durning the shift the 33.1s will pull back the ground and if a good driver wouldn't matter. Over all it'd boil down to a driver race not who has what gears. I can slam gears pretty damn quick so it doesn't matter to me. I have a video of me running two deep(my girl as camera holder)(him by himself) against another 5.0 with the same mods but he had 3.73 gears. And from a 40 roll to 140-145 I pulled him by almost a car both races. His shifting seemed legit. So its all in how the car feels and driver

Dirty: let me know when you're at Ennis. I'm looking to take the Boss on a few runs and Ennis is my preferred track.
IMO roll racing isn't racing...racing from a dig is racing

Agreed minor bolt on cars roll racing is a waste. If you cant launch it and control the power then you shouldn't be racing.
Big builds that cry they cant hook up and have to roll race perhaps you need a new builder and to work on suspension and technique.

Respectfully, most people who say that have never been in a 1000rw street car to get why its so fun. Its just something you have to expierence for yourself. Its a rush like no other.

I love to run from a dig. But sometimes, and JUST sometimes I'm not always in the mode to launch my car and eat 2/32nds of thread, put all the stress on the drive train ect. that comes from dig races. roll races are just as much as a "race" as a dig. techniques still exist on roll races, don't see how you figure any different.

The only real race is from a dig. But I also don't street race, so take it for what it's worth. Too many variables you can't control on a city street, bump, dips, dipshits, cars turning or pulling out, LEO's hidden from view, just doesn't seem worth it anymore.

For the most part we never ran the cars while there were any cars in front of us, and made sure we had a clear shot. In one run we did come up on traffic pretty quick but it happens. Generally two cars doing hwy rolls are somewhat as safe as doing it on the track. as long as no traffic is in front of you.
