And to think some of us would feel they had lost 3 of the 6 cylinders to drop down to 200whp :D

Maybe lap times are a better measure of bragging rights! :D

No way dude. Lap times are boring - we need a COM version of this:

Shockingly enough, those are Subaru guys :)

It should be awarded to the driver who comes closest to totalling his/her car but still manages to put up a decent time at time trials.

1:044 on CS suspension (Just Koni shocks and sway bar) with Kuhmo MX and 180rwhp at LRP. I doubt many NA Miatas with street tires can match that, heck even race prepped miatas arent going to hit that. That was done with a full interior at 2450lbs too.

thanks for the numbers.....I'm figuring I'm down at least 10whp to fully prepped cars and I'm just trying to get a jist of wear my car fits as far as prep level

so now I'm rocking a 90hp, 1wd, underdamped, undersprung, slightly dented chick car!!!

can't wait 'til it's pink

I am confused: 1:04.4? 180rwhp but NA? Maybe I need your engine builder!!!

133whp, Koni's, STIFF springs, big bars and Goodyear RS's - race weight 2420.

1:01.453 It ain't about the power... :D

The car was turbocharged. It simply had a turbo, a set of Koni shocks and all the street luxo items on street tires. It did 1:04. So how are you going to tell me a turbo doesn't help? The car drove different, but it sure can make up time down the straight without losing much in the corner.

3 sec slower on a car that is on street tires, stock springs and 250lbs heavier. (2450 without me in it). I will take it.
