Since when does 208.5 horsepower equate to 12.8 in a quarter....I'm sorry but I'm just not seeing it....

According to this (http://www.clubdsm.com/tools/calchp.htm) it would take 207hp to get his car to 12.8, and that's if it weighs in at 2200 with him in it.
Granted, Species is, (to quote Mr. 'Do You Know Who I Am!' Netter) "the ultimate weight reduction", but I'm thinking his car weighs a little more than that with him in it. I can't remember exactly though, so I guessed at the weight.
And for the record, my 12.8 was a shitball pass, and the mastah Tunist knows it, he was sitting in the passenger seat at the time.

You would think this would be obvious to anyone that has ever tuned a car and was there listening to your car pop and wease as it pulled that 12.8. I can understand the trash talking between friends, but seriously that thing shows potential with an engine running that bad and still pulling a 12!

LOL, yeah, I'm just giving Kris shit. I know he can hit 11's easily. I just wish he would have made it down to show up everyone. There is a fun day at Cordova this Sat and next Sat though. I think its like $15. I'm goin to try and make it this Sat, but if not ,the next for sure. The weather is the deciding factor.
The car weighs 2150 with my skinny ass in it.

Speaking of..... I'm absolutely dying to see some of the footage gathered at both the DSMCentral track day and the Vickary day. Any chance we'll be able to see this stuff on Saturday at the slopny inaugural bash?
