Even more so, I am hereby corrected...
I was just trying to point out the fact that the satellite 1/4mile times are not that accurate. I mean you don't come on a forum and tell everyone that the car trapped 141, yet have timeslips in the mid 120's, that's all. How do you have a car that picks up 15mph doing nothing? I know it needed maintenance, but 15mph trap? Was he missing 2 spark plugs? If he goes to the track, runs his car and gets a timeslip thats says 141, we will ALL be impressed. Has an 18G been over 135?

I didn't post up that trap because I had a hard time beliving that as well. However I do know that the 60-130 is pretty accurate. I wish I had a pbox that night. The car pulled stupidly hard on that last pass. My point was that even if it was off by half a second my time was still mid 6 seconds which is very respectable for a tip. I look forward to verify with a vbox.

It's easy!
Put the rear of the car on jackstands, put the engine block on a floor jack, remove the airbox, loosen the two motor mounts on the rear corners of the engine bay, and then slowly lower the floor jack two or three inches. Drink a beer.
