Gotta love the excuse that "my bottle was off". If you have a nitrous car and the bottle is turned off during a race, you sir are an idiot and deserve to lose.
Myle's car is fast, plain and simple. I am sure that he could give a good race to my 1000+hp supra, so taking out a 800+ vette is very doable

It went 158 a couple times.
Pretty much all it was going to do. Was holding 32psi in 4th gear! No ******* clue what i did but she hooks more power than she ever has on the street.
The way the 1500ft race works is you really aren't trapping much more than you would if you did a true 1/4 race from a dead stop. I mean yeah you are trapping a bit higher, but not much.
1100whp GTR's were going 166mph lol

I'm running proxes r1r on my car. Isn't the compound very similar to the r888? I like my tires, but i still think i'm gonna have to try m&h if I really wanna hook some serious power.
Btw, did you have your flat underbody done for tx2k14 or was the setup the same?

The R888's are an R comp 100 tired wear tire. Don't think the proxies are.
I did Not have my full under body on the car, just the front splitter.

Subd.
How are the headlights done?
Temporary or permanent solution?
Did you try wingless?
What about nascar style or drag style wing?

The Race i went to this weekend was a 1500ft Roll race event. Just slightly over a 1/4 mile from a 60-65mph roll. My best was 158mph.
The headlights are just black duct tape for the moment, which i kinda dig lol. I might just do that again at the 1/2 mile event which is on april 19th/20th!

I actually like the sway bar brace and the sway bar on the car, i know how the car acts with the sway bar on and would rather keep it on myself.
