Not my opinion, it's physics, and physics is something you can't cheat.

I have raced another that makes this one look like a ***** with the front tires much higher in the air. The one I raced kicked my ass in my bottom 9 second car, must have run 8.60s or so. That requires at least 1000HP

That's a pretty impressive launch, what tires did that car run? Hooked pretty darned good obviously. To the point of low A/S though, look at how low the rear end is.

Oh, he's on slicks I am sure. That car is over at DRR, I do not know it personally, but I have seen various shots of it over the years. Around here, the street racers love the C4s on the street because of the squat, which converts to weight transfer, that converts to traction, which is limited on unpreped streets. The MO on the Vette I lost to was that it could hook on a dirt road. I can get some details on the other car I am talking about because it is sold now. Street racers usually sell their cars once they kick everyones butt and no one else will race them, LOL! These types of cars usually go out of state where they are not known and pick pockets in a new area. I know the guy that built it, I am sure now that he has sold it he will be happy to brag on how he did it. I am sure it was just coil overs replacing the mono leafs and a super loose front set up to transfer.
