maybe sneaky nitrous install and let off the gas at the end? lol I don't know any way to explain the e.t. to trap speed relation, the 60' makes sense but I don't know how

dropping tire pressure on stock radials will do little to nothing. I don't know anyone that can pull a 1.6 60ft with out a DOT or slick or AWD. I calling bs or he really did have some drag radials on. His time does match the mph though. So I believe that part.

1. He had to have drag radials or street slicks, stock street tires will not stick that hard.
2. Even with sticky tires, he has to have something else that allows him to push off that hard, like a stall or something.
I'm not calling b.s. on the 13.3 et, just the 1.6 60 ft. Motor Trend got a 13.4 @ 99, and they don't work too hard to get the most out of the car they're testing, so 13.3 @ 101 sounds about right.
BTW, the last time I went to the track I ran 13.56 @ 105.1. 2.11 60 ft. I need some damn tires[:@]

RE: I stand corrected
well what was the 60' of the motor trend car? Im willing to bet they didn't post it, they never do - and $50 says that 13.4 time is "corrected". I honestly think something went wrong or the the wrong time flashed or somthing. I saw the car in the burnout box and next thing I know I hear some folks say something and I look up and everyone was like "13.3!". THen the owner of the car was braggin about a 1.6 60' but I didnt see the slip
