12.74 @ 113? Sounds like about a 2.1 60' time to me. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

The Supra was running 17" F1's and a 6-speed. Looks like he launched pretty good considering. The Supra driver admitted the Z06 owner must have been a non-drivin' fool...

Dang they suck at 60's.

At 113 mph I was running 11.81.

Of course my 60s were 1.56's.

BTW, At 12.7 I was only running 109mph.

Thanks for the movie, I enjoyed watching it.
The vette dude? He didnt even know how to stage. He had to be shown that he needed to back up to turn on the staging lights.
So a Supra spanked a newbie who had probably never even been to the track before....big deal.

You are right.. The Z06 driver sucked.. I went to the Vette/Viper/F-body shootout and one thing I found out. Most Viper and Vette drivers suck. The f-body guys were laying the smack down. 12.74 is not bad. That puts me about 5 cars in front of the Supra.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
