Come on guys... you should know how to read a time slip by now. The problem is in the first half of the track. Not to dig on you Guitar... but its a driving issue. Takes seat time. If i had to guess how fast that car is when being driven... should do a low 12 at 114-115ish. 82mph in the 8th is just slow...and badly driven.

Meh.. he could have been making sure his launch rpm was where he wanted it to be.. I tend to do that sometimes, until I get my WOT box with 2 step installed anyway...

Meh, It really isn't that difficult to rev up to what you want and then let the clutch out in a decent amount of time.

Damn, dude. Either quit stopping to beat off between shifts, or raise your idle rpm, idle timing and tell people that you have a stock cam.

1.5 seconds seems reasonable.

I hate seeing people set there forever. Just not part of the game IMO. I hate seeing people spool there **** for forever and a day to. Take off for christs sake.

I agree. 1.5 seconds should be plenty of time. That just so happens to be how much time there is between the first amber and the green. This guy is actually taking 3 seconds to rev up his car and then launch. Noob status.

Come on Guitar, post up the real time slip! Dig into your glovebox and you should pull out some slips with the good traps.
Not his car by any means..simply driver error. He does not race much and his car is really clean so he does not want to beat the hell out of it. I can totally relate to him.
Guitar, you did great, man! I could say in all honesty that I would not want to run against your car on the street though.

Theres a guy on here that just broke into 11's with a full bolt on only LS1.

What gives?
There are NA bolt on hondas here that have gone bottom 12s. I seriously can't fathom a bolt on cammed LS1 not matching the trap of a honda atleast.
