We even ran from a few different mph just to make sure. No change in the outcome. Perhaps a few mph difference between the two cars. I'm sorry that you don't believe in the results, but the facts don't lie. I expected better from this forum in all honesty, especially since the cars are so close bone stock.
I am sure you do. I'm just saying a new driver in a GT3 is not as fast as an experienced GT3 driver.......Ask me how I know
Its obvious in the second two runs, he was in the wrong gear. Its tough with an 8200 redline to get that right at first
First time I ran against a stock TT.....It was embarrasing...I got toasted......since, stock TTs while close, can't hang

Let's look at things for a second:
- Bone stock, each car (when healthy w/o leaking diverter valves - a SERIOUS issue for stock TT's, even after something as low a 10k where mine failed) runs in the 115-116mph trap area in the 1/4 mile with good drivers; that we know to be fact. We are talking pure, straight-line acceleration.
- He had an intake and one passenger (+7-10hp)
- I had an exhaust and one passenger (+30hp, if not more)
- Logic would stand to reason that if he only had a 10hp gain, max, that my hp gain would put me ahead.
Granted, I am just playing the numbers. However, all the races seem to prove the fact of what I have just listed above. Racing in a straight line is not difficult. It's also not difficult to put it in the correct gear and trust me, you would KNOW if it was in the wrong gear (with both cars being as close as they are) as he would have QUICKLY fallen behind.
There is really nothing left to be discussed and frankly, I am disappointed in your assumptions. For some reason you cannot admit that very lightly modded turbo walked a lightly modded GT3 while the facts and factory specs would agree with what happened.

Don't be disappointed, we are both just talking about our real world experiences that happen to be very different.
Its like another post where Silver's PSI car was dead even with a new z06......lots of people said it was impossible and something must have been wrong. It wasn't, I was there.
I think Silver will tell you my GT3 is very fast. Maybe I just have a good one????? I don't know, or maybe the TT pilots I've gone against aren't very good. But I know Silver and Hasaratti are pretty good, now thats not a good comparrison cause they both have 500hp TTs and are much faster than I am. But I don't get dropped like that third video.

I agree that anything can happen in a race such as that, but that is why I made three pulls: to eliminate doubt and to give as much evidence as possible as to the outcomes.
