Yes Ryan, I do. The proof is in the numbers! Just compare my combo (which is a brand new Tilburg motor) in my car and the FWD car that got 7 hp. I only ran GT/FA one race, Charlotte, and in really good air, went .9 under. The FWD car went a second under or better just about everywhere. The slowest I saw him go was .9something under! My average was .810 under. My GT/EA average was .6 something under.

I have watched numerous videos of my car and don't see any wasted motion leaving the line. It doesn't bounce out of the wheelstand, and runs pretty good MPH! With all that, I'm still about .1 or .2 behind the FWD car.

I think some lost focus on my original post and it has become a pissing contest on who can out think who, but the bottom line is the FWD and RWD separation in GT was a long time coming and I'm very glad to see it! If not, I would be running my combo at 294 (275 when I started building it in 2013) because of, you guessed it, a FWD car!
