Message	All I get on AOL is spam. I was telling the original poster to look at his trap speed since that is the real indicator of HP. Your ET's can fluctuate a lot depending on how good your launch was, but the ET's should remain pretty consistent. I have timeslips that vary by more than a second while my trap speed is within 1/2 mph of each other. I've seen mustangs run 13 flat at under 100 mph because they can launch so well using slicks. And I've seen Z's run 14's at 109 mph because they had a crappy launch. If you just looked at the ET's, you'd think the Stang had a lot more HP (or a higher power/weight ratio). But the trap speed tells the tale about how much HP a car has. 109 mph in a 3500 lb car is a lot of HP, while 99 mph indicates a lot less HP, even if the same car ran a great ET using slicks.
