Yea, I see your point, but with the F-body, do you get that super nice interior?/Handling? No. And that 8.50 F-body would probably just end up being a straight up track car, if not, im sure it would be extremely unpleasant to drive on the street, that GTR is a street car, dude can drive that thing to and from the track, thats really impressive imo, and it runs 9's. I'm not sure if that can be acheived with an f-body....Quote:

I know that 9.40 T/A is extremely fast and is awesome as shit, but the GTR is on a completley different level.
How do you know that GTR isn't running QA1s all around and strictly set up for straight line? Wonder how many engines have died in that car?Quote:

Your mileage suffers over stock of course but there is no detriment to driveability (given most at that speed are auto). 472 with nitrous, a/c, full interior, and t-tops http://www.advancedracingdynamics.com/pages/owen.html# <-page is outdatedQuote:

That is the complete mod list, no engines have died in that car, it does have a rebuilt tranny though.
You can clearly see the car has probably like 18"+ rims on it and the site i got this link from says it's on low profile street tires.
I've heard a few around here, those bazooka tips are redonkulous and they don't have the nice burble of the vg motors. Sounds like turd
Its on Drag Radials all around as seen plain as day in that video. They don't corner all that well. Trust many shop cars have work done that isn't mentioned in the build lists. I'm sure there's plenty of things done to it that don't just make more power which is all you listed. Like say the proper safety equipment to legally run those speedsQuote:
