i don't even know if Kye Kelly tunes his own car???? but i think even chief will agree that he would never beat Kye with his 72. i don't think it's the driver or tune, i think it's the cars themselves. like they said, it's hard to compete when you're giving up 800+pds right off the bat.

but i'm sure you know of some stock suspension 3500pd cars that would smoke both of them....

I seriously doubt there is 800 pounds difference. The crow was bad ass. Pretty much a complete tube chassis with light weight body panels. Steel roof and quarters. By most standards a race car only but run on the street. It had stock body dimentions and if the wheel base was stretched it was very little. The car looked like a race version of the factory car. To me that is was what made it so cool. How many street racers have a pro mod to compete with him? Very few. To get a large group of them together may be tough to. I wish the people involved the best of luck and be safe. Im sure the writers will keep it interesting.

It's not 800 lighter its 1000 lbs lighter. I can not see why Chief would lie about that, hell if was going to lie he should say it was heavier!

A separate, exceptionally knowledgeable source tells me the same thing (1000 lbs).
