wow, that was AWESOME ... THANK you!!

You know, these few videos have reassured me that in fact my X *CAN* be a properly fun car at Thunderhill Raceway come May 10.

But question: how much of a hindrance do you think my 4.4's skinnier tires to the 4.8's steamrollers will be? Not to mention the lack of a front air-suspension? I'm think suspension-wise, the cars are equal enough so that the ONLY issue will really be the tire size ... and obviously power output

Actually, I believe there was a discussion about how the 4.8 has a bit more weight and the extra hp is there for that and that also the 4.4 or the 4.6 had better rear ratios then the 4.8 and they weight less so their hp to wieght is pretty much the same i cant remember the name of the thread!

wow. now that's pretty interesting

that reminds me ... i came around a 270* freeway onramp one day, months ago, right on the tail of a 4.8 ... we both gunned it and i tried to slingshot around him once we got on the freeway ... i certainly couldn't PASS him ... but amazingly, he wasn't pulling away from me ... at ALL!! =)

(and that was beFORE the exhaust and intake lol haha)
