Is that 13 seconds in reverse? I've heard of supercharged 318 dakotas with
drag radials running in the 12's. They can't be more than 350 or 400 hp at
the most. So with 600hp and those huge tires the Sidewinder has I think it
should be a couple of seconds quicker than 13, more like 11 or so. What
does anyone else think.

Oh, wait a minute, just thought of this....... it's a manual tranny right?
That's got to be the weak link...... if it was an auto it would scream. ;~)

PS: Merry Christmas Bill, that one was for you and all the other auto
members......
