You're acting like he just sprung this date of the race on you suddenly.

technically, I heard about this last week, and technically last week, my tail lights were out of my car, and technically, i was ripping my shift knob out, and technically the car couldnt be driven... sooo technically...

Oh come on. Changing out a shift knob takes 30 minutes tops and that's if you're SUPER careful.

so iv been reading everything thats going on i n here and its some good lol's... in all seriousness guys.. everyone is running almost the same mods. the hp difference will be minimal in the cars that are going to race.. what it will come down to is the driver.. iv been drag racing since i was 16 and i can tell you that the key to a good time are as follows.. 1. launch. the most important.. without a good one ur time will be bad. 2. shift points. this is also important because missing a shift will kill time, also knowing what rpm is the best to shift at.. it isnt always at redline for best result.. it takes many runs to determine where the best shift point is, in some of my past cars i saw best times shifting 200-300 before redline. im not saying thats the case in the z im saying that you have to learn the car to run the best time.. now if ur running a automatic then again you will have to learn when to use ur paddles to shift etc.. what im trying to say is going back and forth when the cars are almost the same is pointless.. it will come down to who is the better driver. people always say that drag racing is easy, compared to track raceing it is.. but there is still talent involved with it and learning your car is key to running a good time. you dont just dump the clutch n floor it. sorry for the rant but fighting back and forth about whos car is faster when they are almost the same is pointless.. the argument should be who is the better driver because that is what it would come down to..

Not really. I wasn't sure where the pry points were but after I fiddled with them for 30 minutes, I was done in less than an hour.

Well, this whole troll-fest started when Party A claimed to be able to beat Party B in a drag race without any prior runs or practices. Just one run.

Now that its coming up one party is claiming to have no prior knowledge of event. Mind you, this has been going back for the last couple months now.
