Trap speeds can sometimes be a bit misleading, but in my experience, except when racing bikes, identical traps keep cars very close to each other on 60-160 rolls.

Are you claiming your Z has 816 RWHP with a 50 shot?? Am I reading something wrong?

A road course does not. That being the case, I can totally understand why someone that fears embarrassment wouldn't like the dragstrip.

As far as the 60-130....I never claimed it to be "the standard". But it is the most accurate, verifiable way we've found to detemine how fast a car truly is from a roll.

But again, same as the dragstrip....I can understand why you don't want to do it. You may find yourself in the unfortunate predicament of running 60-130 times that do not correlate to all of the BS claims you've been making about your car. And the fact that someone else is actually verifiying your data...well, I guess that's just too much for you to handle.

We all know that bragging is not a good character trait. But people that brag and attempt to back it up, well...at least they're putting thier money where thier mouth is.

People that brag but don't have the ***** to back it up, well.....you get my point.

I think you've made it perfectly clear over the years exactly which category you fall under.

We'll see what happens come spring, but I won't be holding my breath.

Again no need for excuses, I want to do it for my own sake as well, and I have NOTHING to be embarrassed about, I could easily have built the same turbo you have, its not what i'm after.

Thanks Scott.

I will be impressed, albeit surprised, if you can run faster than say a 7.7.

Robert P, this goes for you too, although I highly expect that you will be embarrassed when you find out that your car is not very fast.
