while i know what you're saying, and i agree with you. i never liked "rule of thumb"s. way too many factors. especially in drag racing. there is no actual way to measure that. too many variables.

If its a coupe it's the 550 hp supercharged v8 and he was just playing with you. If it was slower than that it was the v6 and someone must have put the badge on it

Perhaps once you can do consistant, full traction runs you will be able to see it.

yeah i mean it'll be more consistent. but it's still hard to say "if you drop this, it'll take off this."

exhaust on the sides..... not centered... this car had a stance like the one you pictured.... however i know it did not have the wheels like the one mark pictured.... i am thinking it was probally the one mark pictured with a crap load of aftermarket on it.... the exhaust looked like magnaflow, it is on a suspension and wheels.... however it has a sleeper look.... with no tint look i can sit here and guess all day long it is obviously not stock...... dude and to tell you the truth i was focusing more on not hitting him as i am in wot... then being able to tell you exactly what his car is.... i am telling you thats how close we are...... if traffic worked to our advantage i would have been able to tell you better but it got in our way so i was never able to get beside him.... i reconize this guy everytime we get around each other because on how much he looks like jonathan.....

everything he has done to his car was subtle and mean..... i doubt this car was a 6 dude.... i am possitive it had a 8.... it sounded like a ws6 with exhaust and if it was a 6 then he has more then a air intake on it.... i dont know, i should know, i have seen him so many times.... this was the first time we went for it tho.... so next time i will remember.... i can tell you he is a maiden fan..... lol

sorry for stepping on your toes here;

I guess that like you said, a bump could throw you out. I guess the lesson is just slow down and you be better off
this is a rather ignorant post.

in many areas of the states people run what we'd call a dedicated summer year round... try driving in an inch of slush with tires that are only engineered for dry conditions...
also, not many areas have a crown in the road to promote rain (ect) to run off...
now with your dedicated summers, and an inch of slush roll through a puddle...

black ice and slush are a bad combo.... the roads were probally wet and then froze as the slush built up... dude even winter tires wouldnt even have had traction..... i never try to come to a conclusion about a accident unless i was there to witness it.... your right we are more acustom to driving in slippery conditions...... however if you dont think it gets snowy and icy in the states, your wrong...... the 49th parallel is not the border between snow and summer....
