Sounds good to me... You've beaten Motor Trend.[hr]

Motor Trend uses brand new cars for testing when they haven't been fully broken in... generally speaking, times do improve when they re-test during the long term reports.

yeah,

you can sit at the line for a half and hour and you can still run a 16.5 or whatever. What you are trying to say is, it's all in the launch, r.t. and launch are two different things. Sorry to burst your bubble

16.3 is pretty good.. I mean, we got all these people running 17s here.. so... but they're auto so.. *shrug*

reaction time isn't factored in the quarter mile time.

however if you're going against someone obviously thats a factor...
