that could make sense. since the starting line wasnt exactly the same. it doesnt even matter since the mph doesnt win the race just like in a drag race you can have a 10.0@130 car beat a 10.5@135 car.

To give an idea of how deceiving trap speeds are - when Bello broke he trapped 149, the TTSL he was racing trapped 186 ish and lost.
wow. so how many different TTGs did Bello take out 3 or 4?

can u give us cliffnotes on all the other silver porsches ?


BTW here is the vid of the finals where orange car misses 4th, bello was still way in front when that happened so i doubt the outcome would have changed !

Congrats to Eddie and all the other racers. Damn that little bug car must really scoot.
I love the fact that he broke some valve train and then came back for more. Really wish I could have been there. Really hard to imagine how far our "high performance cars have come". Wow, just wow. And again, Congrats to Eddie Bello !

I believe Eddie was 5/5 against UGR cars.

Silver Cars - I believe both Joe and Tom's cars were not running to their full potential. BHT beat Joe in their run. Stacy's car ran fast - but it ain't silver no more.

BHT lost to a UGR in the KoTS and to me in the 6 Speed Challenge.

I had two losses, one to Bello in KoTS and to the grey 6 sp UGR that made it to the 2nd to last round.

Todd and I both had great runs against UGR cars, both of us losing in the last 50 yards or so.

The UGR cars just didn't seem to come out clean or fast so the Porsches would jump them and the UGRs would run them down. Bello had the combo of jumping out AND making the power up top too, missed shift or not - he had them covered.

Man was I impressed with that little P car, and Eddie himself. That little car was flying!! Glad Kong had the sprayer in the trailer and someone had the Nitrous bottle lying around to help you cool that hot ***** down before the final. Good times yesterday!

fixed.

That beetle jumps the **** out on the hit. I would have NEVER heard the end of it if he popped a wheelie and still beat me.

Tag did a 192, 190, 188. Bob in his UGR G did at least 1 187 that I saw.

why didnt he drive either one of his 2 cars? i totally get the point if you want to enter two cars and maybe have a friend/driver drive one or drive both yourself.

Mullet how do all the lambos stack up in power, I thought the R version was supposed to be the fastest
