Message	: I was racing an 11.2 second Chevelle who was squeezing off 1.48s 60' times and he was only pulling 114MPH trap speeds. Given that info, with near 118MPH trap speeds my car with that kind of traction would be into the 10's. :-\ First, 1.48s only possible with suspension tuned specifically for drag racing...with an auto. Quick domestics have many many tricks specfic to drag racing, including *gearing*. Also autos also have very decieving trap speeds. Cheetah ran 10s with 118mph trap speeds....with an auto and a lot more rwhp than your car. -------------------------------------------------------------- Archives - The #1 weapon against genuine ignorance. --------------------------------------------------------------
