that high 13 second car is very quick to run out of steam up top compared to a car that is trapping 110-112

I just think its a different race when its high 13s vs high 12s then if it was high 11s vs high 12s

True, I can see that. Faster cars are going to put more ground on one another in a shorter time frame than say my 108 car vs her 102ish G35.

When I ran a new 5.0 on the street, he got the hole shot and put about 2 1/2 cars on me immediately because I was lacking traction.. I was almost positive he was gonna keep on pulling. When we both hit 80mph, I stopped his pull by about 1/2 a car with him in front by that point.. BUT by then, I started putting bus lengths on him
