Its quite impressive when you consider the rips crowd couldnt do those times with their 3 litre in a dragster.

What? You can hardly compare the two - if you are going to draw any comparison, it's pretty cool to think that people would even compare a high dollar full tube frame stroker diesel blocked sequential drag box RB32DET drag car with something which was a project to build something as quick as possible for as little as possible money, as opposed to try to get a world record. It just happened to work well:

It used an auto, the chassis was a front engined dragster which was never built to go that quick, and had a fairly basic (considering the times) engine package. The fact that the first 6s RB was built essentially on a budget is kindof awesome, naturally being a dragster that is a clear advantage in that respect - and clearly is how it was possible to go that quick without spending mega$$$,, but deciding to conclude that its the best RIPS could do throwing everything can think of at it is not exactly unbiased thinking. I'm sure with a bigger budget you'd see bigger things
