BTW Josh, car looked amazing in person.
Just confirmed w/Eurorev and it was not him or Jags@Singh as he was in
the east cost. The Widebody Coupe that they're building is strictly for
show and will have EVO mods on it!
Would like to know who the mystery man is? Can you describe what
he looked like?

IMHO....dyno numbers are just that...numbers. Like many others here have suggested, I would take look at ET & trap speeds to determine who is "fastest"...

There will be variables in any test, dyno, 1/4 mile, track times, driver, weather, etc. But IMHO, if you can't get the most out of your car as a driver, then what's the point in extra whp? You could have a dyno queen I guess. That's why i think the 1/4 mile is probalby the best indicator of engine performance, although there are certainly variables associated with the 1/4 mile. Track times would be a good overall performance indicator of the entire car setup.

Case in point, I'd like to see a K1 non LSD car vs. a stock engine with LSD and 275s in the 1/4 mile.

K1 would still take it, i think. THere is much more power and at the end, the trap speed will be higher.

was an indian dude. besides that, pretty nondescript. wasn't a fat guy. *shrug* just a guy, but seemed to represent Singh. Either way, I wholeheartedly agree that dynos are just numbers and can vary by conditions, so I took it with a grain of salt.
