Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker

1320racer · 01-16-2014, 08:37 AM

1. when I talk, it's about MY cars I don't refer to them as "our" car. So is this camaro you refer to YOUR car that YOU own and drive or not? Further, when I refer to MY cars, I don't make vague statements like "about 4-6 years and about 400-600 passes", I know exactly the duration of time and the number of runs and one would think that a claimed vastly more knowledgeable class racer would keep a log and too know EXACTLY the number of runs on every component.

2. By your lack of reference I'll take it that there is no data/field test/results from the API as well the OEM specifically as it relates to using these oils and lubricants in drag racing engines, transmissions, rears and cars!

3. 200 passes in the stock 1968 12 bolt under a 3880 lb. Chevelle that launched wheels up every pass, running as quick as 9.72 and 60 footing low 1.30s and a best of 1.28!

3. if your replies in this thread is an example of your knowledge than without question I have more ON THE TRACK experience than you!

If you were half as great as you think you are, you'd be world champ in every class. But alas, you're just a world class blowhard.

Does this forum have an "ignore" feature???

I never claimed to be "great" but I am knowledgable and experienced on the topics I reply, offering 1st hand advice and opinion.

becoming a world champ has nothing to do with one's mechanical ability and/or knowledge of the mechanical components in the cars they drive!

and then attack and belittle anyone who disagrees with you, with a fair amount of bragging along the way.

Most definately......look at NHRA's Pro classes and tell me how many Glidden , Johnson , Iaconio's and Sheppards are left.
One of the reasons I have no respect for todays drivers.
Yeah , Ed's abrasive as hell some times , just keep thickening the epidermis and you'll be fine.
