BDR passes SPF GT40 at RA...the rest of the story!

Though I hate line by line swings, it has merit here:

I fast car AND a fast driver make fast laps. This is a production car from Backdraft, you can read all about them at the links I have provided you several times. The engine as well is a production offering from Roush (NOT ROUSH/YATES) and you can read all about it at the Roush Engines site: http://www.roushperformance.com/engines/engines.shtml

You can draw your own conclusions. No one is making any sort promises as to what you can do with the car except YOU

Wrong again... you are comparing apples to oranges because you are making all sorts of wild claims without any facts or understanding of what the cars raced actually are. I'm sure if you are willing to pay the air freight on Tony's personal race rig to any of these tracks he would happily demonstrate for you the difference. Let's make it simpler for you, where are the wings and spoilers you whine so much about?

Wrong again, a full on spec FFR would not have the power level to do this with, nor the brakes, nor anything else an experienced driver and owner of such a car pointed out. I assume "carefully prepared" means giving it a full race overhaul as opposed to what it came with FROM THE DAMN FACTORY MAN
