12.4 @ 111 is about 350whp. I know because thats what my stock turbo,tuned Evo X ran when it had 350whp.

good luck with the repairs dude.

I'm above 400hp but with a new clutch i wasnt quite use to, my 60' was jumping around. Anything from 1.8 to 2.3. Also it was 30*C outside and i was hitting rev limit in 4th about 50-75ft before the finish line. So everything really ****** my times up.

Yes thats them. I called the owner yesterday, he changed his story. He is now saying they did pick me up but his driver used the dollys for the rear wheels the whole time. Funny thing is the driver called me about an hour later just to see how things are going and told the owner what happend. Also the dealership called. They wanna replace the whole damn engine.

Engine = $11,000
Tcase/Rear diff = $14,000.

When i spoke to the owner he, of course, denys damaging the drvetrain and refuses to pay for it. I then spoke with the driver who is a mechanic and knows if you go aftermarket its cheaper. So im making a deal if we send the tcase and rear diff to Jacks Transmission, both can get rebuild/upgraded for $3024. And the engine can get sent to AMS or MAP and build for $5000. So between the cost, shipping and labour. $10,000-12,000. Or i can go to court and sue for $20,000-25,000...which is what the court said i should do. I know the tow company isnt responsible for my engine. But if they agree on the deal, its still cheaper then going to court. And if i go to court, im sueing for more then just the damages. What im wondering is say i sue for $20,000 and i only get $14000 to cover the damages. Does that 14,000 go straight to the dealership or can i use that and pay $3000 for jacks transmission to do the work and use the rest for my engine and/or deminishing value?
