My point was that maybe the guy who runs the thread for STOCK TURBOS doesnt want to give it up and still wants to run the thread.. And just as you said its all about organized info like having ALL STOCK APPEARING TURBO cars on 1 list.. That way people dont have to flip from his thread to this thread to figure out which IX turbo car is faster and quicker than the green and red cars.. it would all be on 1 list and could be done right now that way..

I'm all for keeping them all in the same thread, just under separate headings. That way people don't have to search for what turbo the car is running amongst the massive amount of text.

There are more stock appearing turbos than the Green and the Red. Heck, my friend got 2nd at the shootout in ESA with a White Rabbit 9. That's why I like the idea of separating the turbo's.

Yes there are more stock turbos than green and red but how many will make a 15 member list?? 2 or 3 MAX.. The elite few shouldnt be discounted from being on a list of stock appearing turbo cars because it is stock appearing.. Its not like it will be 8-10 stock turbos on the list and 5 green and red.. think about it.. might as well call the list RED / GREEN / WHITE..

My personal opinion is to have a stock appearing thread with any & all stock appearing turbos & stock turbos & also have a separate thread for Red & a separate thread for Green. These could also be done in one thread, but separated into 3 subjects for ease of comparing or updating if you wanted. All in all I believe that if you can run a stock turbo in a stock appearing shootout then it should be included in a stock appearing fastest times list. It was also mentioned earlier that if you separate them then you would need to do diffrent lists for HTA35R, HTA37R, etc. for every type of turbo. While I think this was brought up to make a point that there would be too many lists if they were separated, I don't think its a bad idea. If there are enough people with a certain turbo to do a list then I think it's a great idea. It's not going to clutter the boards any more that the millionth thread about which BOV makes the most noise. If theres interest in that list then the thread will live & if not then it will die. In the end I think there should only be one rule for a top 10/15 list & as Warrtalon stated if you want a Green & Red only list then it should be labled "Official fastest Green & Red turbo list". I hope not to **** anyone off & I'm not trying to stir the pot, but after reading all the other opinions & the ensuing argument I felt I should give my entire opinion on the subject.

Here we go again. OKIX has a change to our ET on the FP-RED. Last night, he went 9.99 on only our second pass. We left after that, so we left something in the mix for next time.

dsmfan95, we ran about the same. 138.94 and 139.17 I think. Usually, the mph will go up if you really smoke the tires. With slicks, it will drop a little. We actually had only just begun to dial the tires in, but the track was pretty slow in getting all of the passes in. The only change we made was dropping tire pressure by 1 psi and that showed up in a better 1.43 60' time.

+1 adding stock turbos to this list is just going to clutter it more...theres already a thread for the stock turbos now this is for the "stock appearing turbos that arent so stock"...i plan to make a trip to the track this week to get a slip up on the list

I look forward to seeing everyone again.
Oscar, get the weight down. See you guys then.

Thanks Tom you have my phone number I am just a phone call away call me Monday to have the exact day that we are going to the track some local people from Orlando are drivng up to see the car running. Talk to you monday
