Yeah, I know. Just razzing back.

It's just too bad that it's not a more open test. I mean, for a car to shine (any car), it's got to have a venue to show off a little. That Cuda can't compete. My car can't compete...and it's an Ultima!!!

There are a bunch of faster (in a straight line) street-legal cars out there. I guess they have to put some sort of limits on the type of competition, but, what happens when the "Blue Devil" hits the streets? It's a lot easier for Ultima, than Chevy, to tell it's "factory" engine builder (American Speed) to produce a twin-turbo SBC that will hold off all comers for a long time. Does that mean it's a "factory" car? I guess so, by definition. So, it will hold the record again.

My guess is the parameters could be opened up a little and the Ultima would still hold it's own. In the GTR, the 100-0 part only takes 4 seconds.

My personal opinion...lap times on a road-course, by the same unbiased driver, is the only real test.
