If they are realy getting 10.9s on street tires with just 616 horsepower that is beyond amazing.

3.3 secs to 60 in a front engined car on street tires with an independant rear is almost impossible. I wonder if they were using cheater slicks. That would also make the 10.9 believable. Also now that i look harder that is just a stock LS2 with a blower on top. I saw a test in Hot Rod where they took an LS6 with a baseline of 433 torque and 447 horsepower then with the only modification being a roots style blower they went to 565 tq and 642 horsepower. They said it is normal to gain much more topend than lowend when adding boost to an engine that has cylinder heads that flow better than the cam allows.

Slow my ass! This guy's got issues, doesn't he? First off, it's the gearing. Secondly, 206 MPH is by no means slow. Thirdly, maybe it could do better top end, but it's an American car. Where in America are you going to drive this thing up to even 180 MPH? So they focused more on acceleration. Get the #$%# over it.

if this thing is slow, you must really drive one hell of a beast. That, or you know nothing.
-1998 Honda Civic EK Sedan H22 swap with Intake, headers, and cat-back. SOLD!
-1991 Nissan 240SX Coupe. Intake and cat-back on stock KA24DE. Silvia S13 front end, needs paint. Looking to swap it with either a 2JZ-GTE or an RB25DET.
