Message	....half the horsepower and a good chassis setup would clean the clock of most cars around this board. And that applies for the street as well. I'm not knocking the cars on this board! I'm just sayin' that if you're gonna talk about et's, trap speeds, and drag racing, and how all of that relates to horsepower, then you gotta talk about the chassis. Power is only a part of the equation. Truth is that it takes much less horsepower to run sub-12's than most of the fast cars around here are making. RSR
