One other question... why are the slower (ET) cars have higher MPH? 118 is high for a stock Z06 at the weight. Not saying it's impossible, just that most never get that high 114-116 is what I normally seen. I've seen some 124mph traps with stock C6 Z06s though, but thats a different beast.

God that vette is uber sexy. I love the black wheels.

When LEAVIN you and I raced, it was pretty damn loud between his exhaust and my car. My car is so obnoxiously loud its hard to hear anything plus he had his windows up.

He is right about the races.

Race 1 I pulled about a 1/2 car and then we stayed about the same, but if he didn't hear the horn then that makes sense.

Race number 2 he didn't even go so we can't consider that a race. I honked and on the 3 honk took off, looked back, and he never moved. lol

Race 3 was pretty dead even. I thought I may have pulled about a fender, but it was so close and hard to tell.

I would like to have seen what would've happened if I was brake boosting. :) Maybe next time I'll try.

Good runs nonetheless.

It's a combination of a lot of things...mainly driver skill, fast shifts, weather conditions, altitude

C6 Z's trap high 120's - low 130's

It's pretty common for cars to have a higher trap speed with a lower ET.

By the way, TransAm...I'm the blue C6Z that was racing you if you didn't already know. Come check out our site at: www.vmaxatl.com

I know it is, but why?

Trap speed is not how fast you are going at the end of 1320 ft. It measures how fast you are excelerating for the last 66ft. Therefore if you have a bad launch and you are slower off the line then you are excelerating at a faster rate during the 66ft giving you a higher trap speed vs. a really fast launch which gets you up to speed quicker and you are not accelerating as rapidly towards the end of the 1/4.

hope that makes sense

I killed a piston. Does that count?

Yeah that counts in my book.

this is basically the same thing as i said

Quote:

The trap speed is the average of your speed over the two beams at the end of the track (the first is 66 feet before the finish).
