C36 vs 500E

Hey guys ive always wondered from a solid start up to 100 mph which car would win the race, if the drivers where evenly skilled. I have both cars but ive never raced them together.

Stock vs Stock, comparable launches (with regards to wheelspin) I opine that the 500 would win by a few car lengths (since they hit right around 100 MPH in the 1/4 mi.) and maybe 2 or 3 10ths

I have personally observed a number willing C36's clearly superceeded by 124.036. I'm uncertain if driver abilities came into play.

best regards

Not sure about a C36 but I ran against a C43 in the 1/4 mile at Tri-o-Rama a year ago.

It was a 100F day and his best was a 14.561, mine was 13.982.

However he was stock accept some suspension upgrades.

You ran a 13.982 in 100F weather? Wow, what does she run in more favorable (read: cold) conditions?

Unfortunately I have not tried. Maybe I will get to a strip this spring before the temps get too high.
