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

1st through 4th on the IX MR 6-speed is nearly identical to 1st through 4th on the X GSR 5-speed.

I edit my posts often. Usually to be more polite but not always.

Jim went 11.1 with like 430whp with the worse geared 6 spd, hes good at driving, so I just need a lot of practice!

That car has a decent amount of weight out of it though and no lag. Weight is very important for drag racing, when you get into the 10s and 9s it becomes more important than making more power. The car made 490ft-lbs too, so it doesn't take an expert to drive it fast. The X's a whole new ball game, it seems like to run high 10s or 11s, the Evo 8/9 are one of the easiest cars ever. A bit more power than that and they become a handful to try to get down the track like even medium power DSMs. An Evo X MR with a tranny that could hold power would be awesome for drag racing.
