And so it appears that this is in fact a reaccuring phenomenon.

Like I posted before.....none of the drivers knew what they were doing. All reaction times were poor, the tires were not sticking...meaning they didnt warm up prior (or running the hard tires where they cant stick), and i heard redlines on all 3 clips from the lambos. NOW....again, the chargers are one mean a$$ monsters.....but with the right drivers it would have kept up, got 1-2 cars, or lost by a car....but not by 6-7 car lengths. I dont doubt the power one bit, but you gotta look at what facts....poor drivers=poor reaction times. And not knowing where your cars "G-spot" is...well....you know...that can cause loss of torque right there!!!!! You have to know when to shift, you have to have the softer tires, and you have to PAY ATTENTION TO THE LIGHT! OH....and the 3rd clip...he had NO TRACTION on them tires to grip, where the charger had more than enough. If the lambo had that traction...that would have been a good race. I wanna see BOTH CARS with GOOD DRIVERS...thats what will make you see the tue answer!!!
Jus for the record......I DONT DOUBT MOPAR!!!!!

drivers aside, the car is what won those races. AWD drives cars cant burn out, and they are know for being terrible off the line. just because it is a super car doesn't mean that its invincible. plus the lambo in the first two, (the countosh) was never a good car to start with, while the modern one in the last race (couldn't see if it was a merch. or giardo ( i know i cant spell)) is better, but still not know for brute strength while the charger is, hence the term American Muscle, hahahaha. I love it when and american car stomps all over some pretty boy in his exotic (i know i enjoy doing it, hahaha)
I think me and shooky have the right ideas....hehe
hey yoshi, could Duy have been driving that lambo they way it was shifting, haha

No doubt that they have horrible off the line starts.....but did you see HOW BAD they were?!? I mean..honestly.....they were crappy drivers. Their reaction times were worse than my 1st time at the strip!!!! I dont think that they would have won though, Im just stating..that with a better driver and tires they wouldnt have lost A BAD AS THEY DID!!!
And about Duy.....I honestly think Duy can shift better than those fools. Of course I still gotta take him to a track...hopefully i the next 2 months there will be a autocross event!!!!

Also you have to factor in the exotics are most likely stock. the muscles were designed for the 1/4 mile. the cars were still really fast but. MOPAR made them look slow. LOL Gotta love muscle

if you know how to launch AWD owns I dont know what you all are talking about saying they are know to be slow off the line. burning out is no good the faster you get traction the better. and my friends Talon would smoke the doors off of both those cars haha

AWD's arnt good cause if you try to leave to hard, ull just fry trhe clutch, like the guy in the second vid, and burnouts are good, if you do it before the race, of course the are bad during the race. and for a talon to beat a 1/4 beast like a mopar, how much money has to be put into it and how far from stock is it, a stock demon with a 440 six pack can easily run the quarter in the 14s, and thats bone stock from the factory, take of the stupid restrictor they put in those things and your looking at a high 12 second car. even the fastest IHRA drag import doesn't stand chance aginst an NHRA funny car, so that must mean something when the fastest drag cars in the world are still american, V8, rear wheel drive based, haha nothing like a 8000 horsepower V8 big-block
and im sure Duy, can shift, in a year or so, it will come to him in time, a long time, but in time, haha (but duy, if got faith in you, you just gota trust your car)

I know you burn out before the race and my friends Talon does have some money invested for sure Id say its got about 14k-15k into it and that is including the price of the car. Last slip at fontana 1/4 Mile : 12.1 Trap speed : 122MPH but the time should of been a lot better the center diff exploded when going into 2nd it couldnt take the power. He should be at the next drag day at Fontana in November. If nothing goes wrong he should get in the 9s or low 10sec pass. Just saying that some 4 bangers can play with the big boys so far the fastest eclipse I have seen was getting in the 6s

an eclipse in the 6's, what was it on, like 80lbs. of boost, that is flying, no matter what kind of car it is.
