[QUOTE="racebronco2, post: 15614909, member: 11854"] If you just want to race random people just line up like everyone else. I like to have close races. The events i have been to people are required to put their flywheel hp on their windows. I have found many people have no idea to translate their crank and rear wheel hp numbers. I remember one guy in a GTR, his window numbers were 550crank, asked what he dyno'd at which he said was 525rwhp. I ask people what they dyno at and their weight. I figure out the weight and hp difference. Example, I was at 600rwhp and 3650lbs, a ZL1 was 705rwhp and 4260lbs. He is roughly 600lbs heavier. I know for every 100lbs you need 15hp to have the same acceleration. So i would figure 6 x 15 = 90rwhp. So if i added 600lbs to my car i would need 90rwhp, the ZL1 was at 705 so he should be faster than me. We raced and i beat him by bus lengths, his talked to me later and asked if i had nitrous, he did say "when you hit third it seemed like you hit the nitrous button". 3650lbs 600hp 600lbs 90hp 4250lbs 690hp The ZL1 owner did say he was fighting heat soak, was wondering why everyone wanted to race him. I told him the GM claims the ZL1 is supposed to be the baddest Camaro to date. He later sold it and bought a GTR. [/QUOTE]
