I don't want to start an argument here - mostly because I don't really "care" - but an 8 second car is all about weight transfer to the rear - and hooking up - and a 200 mph + car is all about keeping the wind out of the bottom and downforces and low drag.... and Lencos are drag race pieces... and drag race tires and widths are one thing - and 200 mph tires and wheels are quiet different.
And I'll stand by my statement === 10's are WAY different than 9's - and 8's are even more serious... and a 9.98 is a 10 in my book not a legitimate 9....
while it might be semantics... it's 2 one hundredths into the 9's -- which is not a 9.3 car... or anywhere near it.
Just saying.... The argument that was trying to be settled was -- run 9's and handle a road course.... I suppose a guy could say it ran 9.98 and he is technically correct... but 10's and 9's are vastly different. As in about 10 car lengths at the end of a quarter mile assuming equal lights. That is a HUGE difference....
