This is not going to be a hate post. Just a rebutel.
I was actully behind you and John when you ran. Then i was behind you again when you and Steve ran. And THAT is when your exhaust turned red hot, and little bits of something, also red hot, came fluttering out of your muffler. And i did find bits of it in my intercooler. I was less than 50ft behind you when this happend. I was there, i saw it happen, and if the guy racing around in the beater was paying attention, he may have seen it to. It looked like little bits of burnt foil... it couldve been redhot flakes of carbon from the inside of the exhaust or anything like that... but it did happen, and it was there.
As for the talk to Carl statement... i did state that it was last year when i had talked to him, and my point was that the stock twins are more than capable of propelling that car deep deep into the 12's, or even 11's, simply because i recall Carl saying that he could have gone much quicker, but he was pussy footing it off the line because he didnt want to break anything, and because it kept wanting to pop out of 2nd gear i believe it was.
My comments are of no illusion. They have meaning. Youre just reading the text for what it is and not understanding the content. Thats one thing i hate about reading... you cant read tone or context.
