was just going over this old thread and your last comment caught my eye.....

"I have to believe in your case the car was making the numbers look worse than they were."

Would you just expand on that,> just to give you a heads up....the car was f/braked only, if I ran more air in the 32's it would've got on to the tyre faster and would've 60'd better probably, the front end rose too fast with the 90/10's, needed calming down a bit 80/20 or similar, we had the ladders/coil-overs set ok, all in all if the car was lacking as you suggest (which it was), if it was better sorted wouldn't that of made it run faster with possibly less mph? which would've shown even less mph/hp given the same motor tune. There was only a certain amount of power available, on a 10.7 it suggests a 1.49 60, I actually ran a 1.46 so the chassis wasn't too bad as it was, or am I missing something?

Just interested to hear your comments.....
