When I start road racing, I wil most likely lower the power to only 5 or 600 hp to allow me to get used to what I might encounter. I can always turn the power back up to what I need if I need more.

Talking with the guy in the Red Camaro, he made it sound like 200 was nothing and it drove rock solid with no instability whatsoever!!

He runs a 6 speed trans with a twin turbo LS1. He said the car would have gone more MPH but the gearing was way off, he went through the 1 mile mark at 7000 rpm in 5th gear and he makes peak power at 6100 rpm. I though that was funny because that is where I make peak power also!

His car may not seem like it wa going so fast because how quick the car is. A 9 second car accelerates pretty quick! Alot of cars might take 2 miles to get that speed.

It made me a little more optimistic seeing a another car make it look so easy, now at least I have some hope!
