75Evo is being modest. We only lost to the modded 135i on the looooong front straight. After two corners, we were right on his ar5e again - but it's true that we didn't have enough grunt to get around a 3.5-liter twin-turbo car with our 3.0-liter NA car. I wouldn't call that slow.

Oh, I missed the point of Duk's post. My bad. He was talking about a drag-strip shootout? Sorry ... outside of some built Alfa 90's and GTV6's you can find on YouTube, you're gonna be mighty disappointed.

I'm sure you've read JJ's 3.7-liter MonsterMilano thread ... now thar's some horsepower!!!!
