Probably had mods like, cams etc...I dont really smoke GSR's but beat em on short races like 2 blocks or so (1st to 3rd gear) and I have a stock LS (i/h/e and lightened flywheel)...

I think you'll find that if you practice on the track you get faster and faster. When I first went I could only pull a 15.3 or something gay. After practice that dropped to a 14.8. Driving is key in all respects; the car itself is secondary.

Well that guy probably had some significant mods done. You never know what he could've done to his car. Just because it's a GSR doesn't mean your basic bolt ons.

I think people overestimate driving. I mean if your car lacks power and another car has a good amount more power, the car with more power is going to win. It's not a science on taking off. You rev it a little and you go. It's overrated. Maybe in a track the driving is more significant, but driving in a straight line is pretty straight forward. It's the car that wins. Unless of course if you really can't drive.

No, i'm not saying that you can't drive i'm just saying some people put too much emphasis on driving skill when in reality, it's really like riding a bike, once you know how to take off, you don't forget how to do it. It's not like driving around a track with corners and you have to worry about entering the corner with the right angle and when to brake etc. It's just a straight line. That's all i'm saying.

I mean if car A has a good amount more power than car B and the driver of car A is less skilled, who do you think will win? Of course car A. It's what's in the car that counts, i don't car how good you drive. For example, a CRX Si with bolt ons has no chance against a GSR with bolt ons. I don't care who is driving. The power output is so significant.
