Highbredcloud- The car-stats is not the best source...they come from different magazines (we all know how that goes) and different drivers, tracks etc....so I'll leave it at that...there is no way a just any vert is half a second closer while just weighing approximatly(on average) 150lbs more...not equal optioned and same trans...
...having seen the difference for myself and it only being 2-3 tenths difference between vert and "hardtop"...I don't automatically put a vert out of the picture...its cool though...we got our opinions...
SlimJim 156 - Well...my 93 LX weighs in at 3400lbs...and friends autoed vert weighed in at 3580...so my car by NO means is a "lightweight LX"...I'm not saying you...but alot of people think that GT's weight so much more than an LX because of the ground effects...LX's have bumpers to...just the GT's are more "elongated" (is that a word...ha ha)...in fact another "friends" 90 GT weighs almost exactly 100 pounds lighter than mine...
...its cool though...some cars are different...
mike keirstand - Yeah I've seen quite a few run around those times bone stock...Driver, traction, power to weight is all important...
Lil' Willy - How do I put this....
...no one in here has voted for "low 12's"...I put close to low 12's...LOL...(did you drop out of high school?)...AND I LOVE HOW THE WAY YOU CHANGED IT DOWN TO HIGH 12'S SINCE MIKE PUT THAT
...GO BENCH RACE SOME MORE...OR DO SOME HOMEWORK...YOUR SHOWING INCONSISTENCY...THATS NOT A COULD CHARACTER TRAIT
...OH AND DON'T WORRY I'M NOT INTO THE FARMING BIZ...BUT OUR NEIGHBORS ARE
...SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS...GO PRACTICE DRIVING AND BENCH RACE SOME MORE...LOL...DO YOU THINK I'M HERE ALL THE TIME TO ANSWER TO YOUR "FREE POST"...NOPE...HEY DID YOU GET YOUR AIR FILTER INSTALLED BY THE SHOP YET?...OH I'M GOING TO GO LET OUT THE COWS...
In short,...their has been a few "hardtops" get in the high 11's with just 300rwhp...(nice flat torque curve)...with driver and traction and Lil' Willy thinks that a 320rwhp vert doesn't have a chance to get within a second of that...hmmm....
Lil' Willys - sorry I dont' know if I've asked this yet but have you GOT YOUR AIR FILTER INSTALLED BY THE SHOP YET?....
...I swear I crack my self up...
Willy's knows it all
College boy and proud of it
