        I guess I should add...with 800hp, the throttle should no longer be an on-off switch. Squeeeeze your way into the powah. 400hp (oh ya, 800) can vaporize more than straights...

        I'd still smoke him in my miata.

          I think the more power you have, the more the throttle just becomes an "on-off" switch. It's hard to even reach any boost without losing traction.

            Depends on the power level as well as the brains and purpose behind the build. I am sure we have all seen a nice linear powerful turbo or built motor set up in the hands of a capable person do some wonderful things. Same way you see some shitty turbo that hit full boost at the 11th hour or some throttle jockey just wasting calories and tiring his right leg out as he "tries" to drive the car :roll:

            He's driving his car the way I drive some of the cars in GT4

            Hate to say it but with his car - a 200hp car will easily smoke him. That seems to be a PURE DRAG car IMO.

            Congrats to him on building an 800hp s14 though :crazy:
