Edge has to be given to Rob's truck from a dig out to even a 1/4 mile.
I don't personally know MIKE (outside of FB) or his level of experience at the track with his evo, especially launching at 900whp, but that's a hard feat to master, I'm sure. I've just never saw him launch the car, only roll racing. And I'm sure this isn't a best out of 3 runs kind of deal, so big red's consistency is a trump card.
Now...if Dennis Davis/Little China were driving the rice rocket and got 4-5 practice runs...I'd give the nod to the Evo!
