    Default Digs or rolls, who is faster, your opinion?

    My friend and I always have a race as I'm always trading cars. Most of my cars will finish the 1/4 faster, but he usually gets me from a roll.

    Currently, I have a civic that runs 13.5 and he has a camaro SS that runs 14.1, I obviously beat him in the 1/4, but from MOST (not all) rolls, he will get me.

    What matters more?
    Nascar does that roll racing shit and y'all see how gay that is...

    Digs are for QUICK cars and cars that can hook

    Rolls are for FAST cars and cars with more power that can't hook.

    If he beats you on a roll then he has more power or more power : weight. If your getting him in a 1/4 you either can launch better than him and possibly lighter in weight.

    Honestly, it sounds like he cannot drive. LS1 F bodies should be in the mid-lower 13's stock.

    The automatic in his car isn't helping either... Evan's car is probably around 1000 lbs or so lighter...

    Think he should run slicks on his car too... Just to see the difference in the 1320.

    True, but how high of an RPM was he able to launch at?

    TS240... True, dunno... maybe it was a factory retard and they missed something. lol he bought it used so who knows how it was driven before.
