What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?

Payban me if ya want cause you wont hit 10's scouts honor!
Jake might tho....

^Not sure why you think his has a better chance, my car has lost quite a bit of lbs through certain parts and completely gutted trunk. I bet I am around 3450-3475. I doubt Jake's is much lighter...driving will be a much bigger issue than weight.

However, his NLTS has a huge advantage over me for sure.

I give him the advantage because he's been to the track many times and his car wieghts less than yours. And yes nlts is a huge thing as well..

Like I said, I doubt our cars will weigh too much different, but yea no NTLS will suck, but not the end of the world. I agree he has a better chance...but I have seen first timers do well before, I am optimistic for sure, but either way i will have fun.

I guess I didn't know he has gone that much, but honestly on a totally new setup, he will be on a similar learning curve.

Edit: I should've rephrased my previous post that you quoted, not sure why you don't think I have a chance is a better statement, but like i said here, i understand where you are coming from.

Jake's got an '03, if I remember correctly. Shit's 3200lbs, son!

^Guess i didn't think it was that light...I have the mivec advantage though, which is a big gain :)

[Murlo26]

Something to note quick, I don't want this to be a Me vs. Jake thread, lol. I am in no way trying to compete with him, until recently I wasn't even aware that his build was so extensive.

I hope we both run good times and we will have similar setups as well.

I think it will be interesting to see how each build goes and ends up. I guess what I am trying to say is i think the builds will have similar results, but only time will tell :)

Hell, they're technically less than that. Mine was 3220 with nobody in it, completely full tank, spare still in the trunk. Take half the fuel out and yank the spare and you're in the 3100s. ;)

My car was around 3600 the other day with spare and full tank. My car isn't stock, either...the exhaust and other parts are lighter. Plenty of stuff that could be removed, though.
