Under Factored Cars Complaints

boster · 08-12-2012, 02:36 PM

So now with the new copo out and it running some real fast numbers (8.88 @142mph) how come nobodys complaining about them being under factored ? . After all that time is faster then my 2012 CJ from the factory 8.92@156mph rated at 510hp the Copo is rated at 550hp and faster. Whats up I'm curious ?

Bo,

You have to give this a little time. 3 runs by Cambria are just that, 3 runs. There will be bitchin and moaning. Just give it a little time after these cars get an event or two under their belt and stand by for it. I think that after Indy, it should be in full swing.

probably cause it did no good to complain about the fords or mopars,they did nothing to them...just another player in the game, thats all.

The guys that have to race the bogus combos heads up are the ones that complain. In this case, that would be you, Jeff, etc. right?

If somebody with a legit car has to race one heads up, they ain't gonna be happy with them, even if they race a Chevy. The blown CJs and DPs don't bother people that don't have to race them heads up.

They sure scrubbed a lot off the top end as a 142 MPH is only good for about a 9.30 ET. The fact they ran an 8.88 ET with a 142 MPH indicates there's a lot more MPH and subsequently a lot lower ET in the cards. Watch out Fords!

Bo - maybe everyone just likes Paul more than you?

Seriously, you know its coming! Hopefully there will be some good running COPO's at Indy, and then it will be on!

Good luck to all.

Et tu Boster. We aren't even at the dance and the tears are flowing? Boaster baby easy you called it a SLOPO remember gosh we aren't even out of the barn your CJ 's are running 8.46 at least . it's parachute time for you "Fix or repair daily guys" you are going so fast.

Lol I thought it was funny when the factor for the COPOs came out and they said hey bravo for GM be factored more honest. Lol just because it was factored at more HP doesn't make it more honest.

Everyone here that has ever worked on these engines knew they were going to be mean.

This is going to be FUN!

Bring it on!
