I think that the AWD was maybe 400 hp which is still pretty good for a Suburu but way off the 1200hp maybe in his dream. Boostedf22c has one of the meanest Super Stock out there and I think that he's probably close to 1200hp if I'm not too off, he might enlighten us. Alex great looking Mustang but I have to say that the driver had an advantage with being a better driver and also knowing about deep staging, since his opponent was probably clueless on what just happened.lol Nice video. I would love to see Art Leong playing with all those new drivers driving their BMW and Lexus with his mighty steed. I can remember loving my Turbo GLH that I received for free when my neighbor moved many years ago, for a month I help to part young men from their hard earned money, one youngster bet me his Camaro(1983) but after beating him soundly I couldn't take it away from him but took $200 for him to buy his 305 165 hp Camaro back. Did I mention that we had a complete NOS system that finally blew the engine completly apart. Still have the car in the back of my Shop.lolClaude

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

Yes, we were pretty close to that number with our old setup. We made 1098hp on the dyno at 37psi and ran around 40 at the track. So that would put it around 1160hp hypothetically speaking. :)

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

I agree on your horsepower guess. I used to own a Subaru (although that was a Mitsubishi Evolution in the video :)). I made 480whp in it and it went 10.9's. That was driving and shifting the piss out of it though. I remember driving that car to Joilet from Indy, running 10's for the first time, then driving home. Lots of fun.

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

Just teasing you Alex But. I was refering to index to index with no breakout. Get there first and win. But I like the huge spot even in a breakout situation. They can not gauge my car. To much difference in mph, added to the fact that when I lift, my car does not settle one bit Other than sound you can't tell if I lift. And theres no way you'll hear my little car over a low 8 second CJ.

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

Alex, I respect your opinion on most "nerd" cars. I also respect you being "American" only. But lets face it, the ONLY difference between my "nerd" car an yours is the engine and body. EVERYTHING else is made in America.

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

Carey, I think everyone here has nothing but respect for you and your car. Just a little friendly "keyboard" smack being talked. I know I always make the trip to the bleachers to watch you run.

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

Was that race at US 41? I ask because of all the people standing on or next to the track....normally the case there

Re: Heard in the Stands at the Indy
 

I like any car that's fast.

I just don't like the attitudes and ignorance of some owners. Wether it be foreign or domestic they all have "that guy".

A little friendly rivalry is perfectly fine among car guys with understood respect though.
