What was the DA? I wonder how a cammed/bolt-on LS1 feels that my bolt-on LT1 stilled ET'd better than him in 2700DA in the thick of summer humidity

In his defense, my first time to the strip I had a similar reaction time. I was texting someone at the line

No, I think I was texting some people trying to make plans for later that night. 18 back then, young and dumb

My best friend had a great reaction time and looked back like, "wtf, I didn't think I'd beat you that bad..."

I had an epic 3 second RT during a midnight mayhem event... I realized the lights dropped when the srt4 next to me took off. I was spacing into the crowd for god knows what reason. I don't give a rats *** about RT though... I still hit my goal.

When winter comes ive seen dudes put there cars on the line during some crazy grudge matches.
No doubt they can be made fast as hell. The one I raced was stock, and was in another group of people riding at a place we called the sandbar. We ran approx. 1/8th mile or so down a dirt area.

Yeah i bet, cause modded up there the king. Can't think of another bike on par with banshee's in terms of racing.

I got a bunch of friends who have done some crazy ****.

They've built a 4 mil stroker with stock pipes lol people get super mad when they lose to that bike. Looks and sounds like a stock banshee and the thing goes high 90s with a 220lb rider in the 1/8th.

Cool thing about it too is with stock pipes the bike doesn't rev high its got a super broad power band and its basically a torque monster like a 4 stroke and you can stay in it like a 4 stroke without worries of over reving it and blowing it.

LMAO. My wife managed a better reaction time than that on her very first trip to the track.

Now she is quicker off the line than I am. Damn girls! Haha

who cares aboot reaction time when you're just trying to make a good pass? R\T means nothing unless you're racing someone.

What do you think he was doing for 1.5 seconds that was helping him make a good pass in his cam only TA? It's not like he was trying to spool a large turbo or something.

trying to set up a good launch? like I said, it doesn't matter if he wasn't racing anyone.

Normally I try to launch from a set RPM, once I stage I bring my rpms where I want them and occasionally adjust/prepare myself for a broken rear end.... I'm almost as bad as guitar so I'm sure he isn't far off.

He is picking up almost 26mph on the big end. The 60ft & shifting is killing the et but still the mph should be a lot better than 108. It could be a slipping clutch. I trapped 85 in the 1/8th in my 02 Z/28 with a lid, SLP catback, ported tb, and free mods. Never ran it in the quarter to find out what it would trap.
