Actually at the St. Louis event we were testing some new suspension and brakes.
.......
Second much needed downforce. The car couldn't keep the tires planted on the track even with the R888.

13.1 is just funny with 650whp! First time I ever ran my car at the 1/4 with street tires and ~450whp I ran a 12.3 @ 120mph (and that was with a lame 2.1 60ft), all I hear is your lame attempt to make up excuses...

You guys love talking **** for what reason? Im still waiting on your valid reasons on why this G is as shitty as you make it out to be. Moral of the story is, traction was the only issue at the tuner shoot out. Rookie mistakes for the BC team, live and learn. Sorry they havent been in the game as long as you guys.
I guess that's what make some people feel better.

Ok, same day, same track - the Full-Race prepped STI on Street tires runs an 11.3 with a whole lot less than your 600+whp, and you know what they did to you guys on the roadcourse 
When you come on the forums and pound your chest a few months ago and bash the heck out of Forged, you just set yourself up for a little mockery when you went out against some 'real' competition and got SMOKED!

I know where I'm going and the only way I'll change my mind is if they close down
My point is that 500whp with AWD will probably be a lot better at getting traction than 600whp in RWD.

OMG an AWD car on street tires had no traction issued
. Spinning all 4 they can still throw down a nasty 60ft and you cant deny that. As far as the "Bashing" of Forged Performance. Pete MENTIONED what happened at the race. Everyone took what he said, brought forged performances name into it, and turned it into a flame fest. But thats between them, PF has nothing to do with that. Thats just the way I saw it. Everyone loves blowing things out of proportion, and making them into something they dont need to be. There is nothing wrong with losing to 'real' competitions, especially being BC's first time EVER in any kind of race season. Rookies, if you will. This isnt a BC Backed car either, its Petes car, with money from his pocket. His full weight G35 will slowly grow to become a, as you would say 'real' competitor. But as I asked before, they'll see you in TN right?
