Yes, we do have an advantage of the line. But that works for the ProSolo start
and the Drag strip. For most autoX courses that is not an issue, since we have a
rolling start instead. So, I should be able to get to the line sooner than Non
AWD cars, but time doesn't start until we cross the line. And I believe your
speed might be the same or even higher when your car trigger the light. So,
there is no real advantage for Solo2. For the Pro, they fixed this problem by
putting us with 1500 lbs CRXs (well done) :).
And my best 1/4 in the ESP trim is 13.41@100 while at the 1/8 I was doing
8.5@80. That is still much slower than your car.
Also, regarding the short times. I was able to do high 1.7 short times even with
my stock turbo, so update/backdate rule has nothing to do with the advantage
that we have of the line.

I am not trying to make it like underdog. Right now my car is in a great shape
and I don't think that power difference are that important any more. But, with a
stock turbo, that difference will move from 1/3 of my total HP to 1/2 compare to
strong ESP Camaros like yours. That I would call an underdog!

Yes, I would agree here 100%. The only cars that are affected here are DSMs,
since those are the only cars that can do this kind of swap.

That is what we all gona do after all this. The other option is move to CP and
bring even more evil turbo in and boost those little DSMs to 400, 500, 600
HP,... well not really that much, but it looks good :) and try our luck there.
On the other hand, we still have a full year to torture those V8s in ESP with
our illegal to be massive turbo. So, go get them!! I know I will :)
Mr. DSM
