What shade of green was he waiting for?

I don't think it matters what light he went on that only affects reaction time the 1/4 mile time doesn't start till trips the light. At least that is my understanding of how drag racing times work out.

Yeah, I know. I also recognize that they were filming at the time (notice the guy in the middle with a steadycam) so maybe the driver was waiting for the camera guy to let him/her know he got the shot.

^ this

But in all seriousness, does anyone else think the 'Vette should be a bit quicker?

I can't wait to see what just a few bolt-ons will do for the performance

2.1 60 ft, I would venture that car should be capable of a 1.9 60 ft in the right hands and around a 12.0.

Yup. I figure high 11's in the A6. The plan was to run mine box stock but it's about it get picked up by the American Racing Headers flatbed.

Hey, at least I made it 2 days.

That 2.12 on the display board is his reaction time, not his 60' time

Well crap, did it show the 60 ft?

CamaroSkooter · 10-03-2013, 10:52 AM

Nah, you'd need to see the printed out time slip to find that out
