As stated already, you can make all the power you want but you have to get it down the track..
We made around 2k but raced hemi cars running 3 to 3.5k... we went many rounds and won some races...
We had a .97 60' .... we got out the hole fast and consistently made it the the trap....
It's great to make big power but that's just 1 factor to a win...

Great post Scott....another thing that helps the lower power quick cars is a finish line at 660 ft

Yes it does... a lot of those hemi cars had screw blower... they came on strong on the high end as opposed to our roots blower that made power down low....
I think it's great what the orange gto made! No doubt he is badass.... on a fully prepped track he may skull drag the crow...
However, I think Justin will skull drag him down a no prep track in the long haul.
Both are great for the Pontiac crowd! They both carry th banner!

Oh yeah, EHTTF! .....
