Yes but compare std to std and the difference will be there.
What you have to remember people is that everyone is not a drag racing expert so dud launches , unwillingness to thrash there pride and joy , respect about street dragging comes into play.
As has been suggested on many occassions, if you want the proof , get the time slip.
And try and compare equivalent spec vehicles ie. std , lightly modded , well worked.
Is more than one GTR done an 11 at the plex and don't see too many SR20 or RB 20 or RB25's in those numbers but these are well worked over so what does it prove. Obviously these guys have bigger chequebooks.
And as I posted earlier , there are SR20's in the 8's in Japan.
What does it all prove??
Enjoy what you have for the time you have it and this
*the GTR can be beaten , my SR20, RB20 , RB25 , XR6 is
better *
crap is getting VERY tiresome.
