you might want to try it. judging by your sig. you're not good at dig racing either.

 

Lmao....

 

Scythe said a lot about this:

First off - the term "fast". There's going to be a **** load of 1/4 mile dudes that will call bullshit on saying a roll race determines the faster car, because to them the entire package (engine/chassis/traction)determines a fast car in the quarter. Likewise a lot of autox guys will call bullshit for the same reasons. It'd be easy to say that a roll race handicaps a better set-up car against a higher horsepower one.


HP numbers are sweet and make for good bragging, but I've always been in the camp that says overall better torque-over-the-curve wins races. You can have hero hp numbers and **** poor torque down low, and take all day to catch a car that puts the torque down all day long. I think that's why the LS fourth gens are still potent cars - you can mod them for power, but they have a tabletop-flat torque curve that helps push all that weight pretty effectively. Same with LNF's - the torque is nothing to sneeze at coming from 2 liters. Of course, this also assumes you're making sure you're not making all that power in a lead-brick of a car!

Is a roll race pussing out? No. There's no issue if both parties agree to the race. I'll lean toward roll racing my 'balt (because its better there), and my Camaro from a dig (because its better there). Will I avoid one or the other? Probably not!

 

 

SSSnoop has a gud point I DNt mind running my car from a dig, I PREFER a roll and my car is setup for it.

 

This is how i feel as well.
