Mmmm, I can see where this is going, dat383 is most likely trolling, please see Wikipedia - Internet Troll.

Do not feed the troll

Well there is a Gary Dares running a 383 Chev powered 1200 Sedan at Powercruise 7. I have posted a couple of pics in the gallery, some other cleverer bugger can link them to this subject. It looks like a nice car, but I would have built it a little lower , my taste though! As for his theory on vehicle dynamics he needs to reread his mechanics textbooks.....the front spoiler will help direct air around the front of the car and stop air running under the car and unsettling it.The rear spoilers is really only for looks and will only start to work at higher speeds. The flares will be helping redirect air as well. As a power man I am sure he has checked out the wheel wells of the top doorslammers and funnies to see how subtle changes make speed.

Exactly converted. My brother is full time into building drag cars with his current project a blown hemi powered fiat topolino. I can appreciate drag cars as well as circuit cars.

Let his next post be pictures of the famed small block chev 600hp methanol datto. I'm curious to see it.

He rants about doing what he does because he doesn't want to follow rules. So I gues he doesn't like Steve Reid, or Ben Bray, or any of those like minded guys who run doorslammer or top fuel because they "follow rules"

I suspect that whatever car he has simply wouldn't comply with any "rule".

Let there be pictures.

Wannabe.....exactly.

hahahahaha DTW thats a classic, yeah it must be school holidays in Brissy OR this guy is a wannabe dreamer. He doesnt have a car obviously....otherwise he would be paying greater respect....people like this either come have their little say and they go or they take some advise on board and say well I can respect your view etc etc and they stay and become good mates....the ball is in his court.

Obviously the "mouth" runs a small block chev powered 1200. Where are the pics....I wouldn't mind seeing them.

Or is it he drives a bog stock Hyundai with 10,000rpm monster tach stuck on the dash, and just dreams of one day putting a chev in a car which he clearly finds offensive.

I see, only works on V8's.

what you don't seem to understand is we are talking about improving lap times. And it does work. downforce, or even just a reduction of lifting forces under the front wil result in increased grip and corner speed. that means it takes less time to go through the corners. also, the faster you go through a corner, the faster you come out of it, and the faster you will be at the end of the straight. and that means it takes less time to cover the straights. all of that adds up to faster lap times.

then you'd be dissapointed because bikes don't handle as well as a half decent car.

and that my very astute friend, is exactly why I pointed out the proper use of a racetrack for you. powercruise rubbish is a waste of a perfectly good circuit.

sounds kinda pointless to me. and I'm not terribly impressed by big numbers. I have blown away a 600bhp V8 powered racecar at Morgan Park in my 30yo wannabe race car. My whole car was worth less than half his engine. that's gotta be kinda embarrasing.

I dont want to get into an argument either but have you ever been in a circuit car that is properly set up and driven by someone who knows what they are doing? ca18det_man's 1200 coupe goes around wakefield only 3.5 seconds slower than v8 super car time.
