one or two tenth and 2-4 mph is alot. you know what a drivers race really is? a mach vs a mach or an ls1 vs an ls1. THAT is a drivers race--- two identical cars.

WHEN did i ever say that only trap speed matters? are you making things up to win an argument over things i didn't say? trap speed does play a role, and it is an indicator of the cars potential. but you need to drive it to a proper 60' time first.

Yes, cars that are .1-.2 seconds apart in the 1/4 mile are lightyears away from each other

A tenth is about a car length. That is light years if your racing for money.

Who races stock ~13.0-13.2s cars for money? In top fuel, yes a tenth is a large margin. When you're talking about two bone stock cars, it's very close.

A tenth is a large margin regardless of what class you race in. You'd be surprised how many 13 second cars bracket race and they are racing for money. When was the last time you went to the track? Not everyone that races every weekend drives a single digit car. A tenth is not close in my opinion but if you think it is then you are entitled to your opinion.

And that is my opinion... rather hard to get much closer. There are tons of people that go to the track in their own cars that can't get all of their runs to be within a tenth of a second of each other.

And there is plenty of 11 second cars that it takes months and quite a pretty penny to pick up a tenth or two.

Couple different ways of looking at it.

Talk about going off into left field! Now we are talking about drag cars and bracket racing.

Off topic, my car now sounds like a sissy girl with the new cam.

Oh and if anyone wants my opinion a tenth or two is nothing at all. You can take a better driver than the last and pickup a tenth. I've seen it happen I can't tell you how many times.

Well to the OP, I'd guess you would win for sure with long tubes and if it was tuned. But honestly the ls1 and mach 1 is a great race stock for stock and mild mods to mild mods.

(the mach 1 missed shift on each race, you can hear it)
