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

From other 1/4 times out of Evo X's, people making 450whp (DJ) have been hitting mid 11's pretty consistently. Basically people said I would have to suck immensely to not hit 10's and are they right? Maybe...with an extra 120whp over them you would think I could shave off another .5 seconds but who knows.

I basically told everyone in my build threads that my goal was 11's and I would be happy...and 10's are the overall goal after going a bunch.

I just find it funny how people on those forums think its so easy and people here think its so hard...the guy who ran 11.5 recently was his first time on his FPred too so now I am wondering is that guy really good, or maybe the X is just easy to drive, who knows.

The discrepancy between national and local is just comical to me I guess.
National boards are full of know-it-alls and idiots. Local boards have them too but I think people are more honest and upfront locally as we somewhat know everyone and won't stand for the BS.
