RustyRatRod's Guide To Hot Rod Bliss

Agreed again! My buddy has a 500 horsepower 2009 GT1 Corvette and it's supposed to do about 12.5, people just don't realize.
I'm about 400 at the flywheel. With 245 cooper cobras out back. And it absolutely will spin them at will off the line. Or just getting on the pedal. Or over 3k rpm and you get on it. Just about the only time it won't is if I'm giving it less than 1/4 throttle. I don't think a lot of people understand whats needed for 10 second street car. Or how they handle the street. They just know "oh so and so said his car does 10 seconds and it's not that bad". I call crap on that. A 10 second car will pin you into the seat at will and make you it's ***** if you don't respect it. 12 second street car is plenty and can be quite the handful in itself. In fact, 12 second street cars are too much for probably 90% of the drivers today.
