I would not buy an s/c MM that has never been raced. Until you take it down the 1320' you have no idea what you have.

Some make note of it in an ad.

I guess that statement would be more appealing to some who dont want to buy a car that has been abused.

how is flooring it on a drag strip any different then on the street.

i really hate when this statement is used in ads. who puts a blower on it and putts around?

Yup there isnt; kinda misleading and contradictory. You don't put on a SC and not expect one to mash the throttle to see what she can do race track or not. Spirited driving with these cars is a given add a SC and it becomes even more SPIRITED...lol

Racing a car that has an S/C is not abuse any more than not racing.

I have seen truly abused cars that have never been raced.

In most cases a car that has been raced is going to be in reasonably good shape or it would not have passed tech and made it down the track.

At car shows time and time again the owner has admitted they have never taken it WOT any where. Does that mean they have never been abused?

Buying an MM that has had an S/C added to it and never gone WOT 1-3 is risky.

i hate that statement! it really does bother me when i see it for a couple of reasons.

1. most of the time its a complete lie, you are going to seriously tell me that you have never floored a SC car? w/e

2. even if it is true, you should probably give that car away to someone else that will drive it. what the hell is the point of getting your car supercharged if you will never experience the thrill of being nailed to your seat across the entire range of your spedometer lol

either way, its a waste

I've never taken mine down the 1320. (but I have gone WOT more than once... :) Love to merge onto the freeway (non-rush hour, so you can let her off the leash)

I think it means that he's only had three passes with his car down an eighth mile track.

Have had my Eaton on for nearly a year now and haven't raced it, but I've had several WOT "excursions" all the same...

Find a mall with a 1320 foot long parking lot, take her "shopping" at the same time Tom shows up, act all innocent afterwards. :cool:

Like I said, since getting the blower installed, it's guilty until proven innocent... :(

Why have the supercharger if you are not going to use it? The statement is probably not true.
