Dont get me wrong.....12.4 is good. Its the 110 that makes no sense. Even with the weight its super low for the power.

110 isn't low if the 60' was in the 1.8 or 1.7 zone.

Heard the 60 ft was in the 1.85 range on stock tires. Don't quote me on that though not 100%.

I've always trapped 3-4 mph lower at infineon....think it has to do with how the track sits in the mountains, always a headwind.

figure another 1-2 mph for the auto....

sweet car!

I dunno the trap seems a little weird to me. Certainly you can get that ET and trap combination but as with all of your comments above, you would need a nice 60'... The car must be the easiest 470HP car in the world to launch on street tires, even if they are Goodyear Supercars.

As far as the headwind, I guess I never really ran into a big headwind, but I would think that if you are losing some MPH from headwind, it should make your ET a little worse too.
