I just don't want mrphotoman's wack exaggerations to cloud the point here.

I'm just saying a car is only as fast as the person driving it. If someone can't drive an SRT-6 with a pulley, intake and tune into the 12's, I just can't bring myself to say it's the car's fault.

And no WAY am I going to generalize and say ALL SRT-6's are slow because of it.

If you have a modded SRT-6, and it's not running 12's there is something wrong. If you show me a slip showing a 13 second pass, I don't care. That's a 12 second car with a serious mechanical issue, or a terrible driver in the driver seat.

That just seems like common sense to me.

If we're talking about hypothetical races on the internet, you just look at the two cars, assess the mods and (based on other cars with similar mods) take an educated guess at who will win. You don't assume the RWD driver can launch, and you don't assume the FWD driver is going to spin through 2nd gear. Just take the cars in a vacuum.
