I honestly haven't paid close enough attention to get in the middle of mods (if any) were the same or not, but usually picking up .1 tenth in the 1/8th picks up .2 tenths in the 1/4. So I'm not getting into the "added mods or same mods" lol, but the slips look legit to me according to those two being compared. Trap speed is there for that et and usually mph's a little slower with a better 60', but it looks on par imo.
Car was catback only. Stock tune, airbox etc etc etc... Changed out the ugly 18" oem 235/55-18 wheels/tires for some nice looking 19x9.5 SVE Drifts with 275/35-19 Nitton Invos on all 4 corners.... but hey... Dug considers prettier wheels than stock and street tires a mod.... sooo... a 2 mod br0.
I didn't say it would run low 12's? Id venture to guess mid 12s on the DRs that i had on it though. Maybe if it was stalled it would have been capable of low 12s. It did hit 88-89 mph on a "track" that was 1/8 mile long. Verified by a police radar gun at the end of it. And it was blazing hot that day. From a roll it hung with a tuned/bolt on 5.0 that trapped 113. You're not the first person that has doubted that car lol.
Because in their head its not about faster or slower. It seems to be about who can do more with less... even though the ones using that logic have highly modified cars and try to pass them off as "bolt-ons".
If it was me I would be touting all the great work I did, all the time and effort required to make something fast instead of passing it off as "bolt-on". But, then they wouldn't be able to belittle everyone else with "more mods" for running slower than them....
No doubt there can be a great deal of varieties of bolt on cars. My own car has had various mods and changes over the years. I can't say i look down on anyone and i mostly try to give a helping hand. It's not about doin more with less......that is not even a mentality I have had. It's more about utilizing what you have. Just tinkering with the car is was hotrodding is about. As you can tell from the irs conversation some are just not open to outside the box thinking......i am. I love chattin about mods and peoples combos. But it's vertially impossible on here due to some people. It's relatively easy to get a bolt on ls1 fcar to run 11s. That's what i recommend people try and do before goin in the motor. You will learn alot along the way and in the end be happier with your car.
Some guys think every car that goes to the strip is a full on drag car.....then they want to compare every car to a record car or the best hero run ever. I'm a realist i know there us just no comparing some of these cars.
This doin more with less is attitude is completely different. It seems to encompass butt hurt.
Oh really? Well here... I just took a picture for you.. These 2 separate track trips were with the exact same mods... nothing changed Duggy... Look at the date/time...actually .. the tracks date was a day off. The test and tunes were on Saturdays.. so the actual date and time is 11/14, and 11/28. Look up the DA if you like....
Now.. take .11 off my 60ft, and account for the DA difference.... what does that look like to you dumbass? Let me guess... the 12.61 slip is fake too? Let me know.. I have 2 more 12.6 slips from the same day.
Different days......not what i consider a back up as so many on here seem to want outta me. Can you imagine the crying that would ensue if i tried this same ****? Hell there ain't no imaging it. Look at this thread. I had runs within .2 of each other and look how they cried. Runs well within reach from previous track outings.......not 1 run .4 faster than all my runs same day same track. The run in my sig is only .1 faster than a previous outing and look how they cried because i broke that 10 barrier
It was a 12.8 car in that form so it seems on one day and 12.6 on the next.

While I do agree with you on the hot rodding comment and applaud what you have been able to do with your car, you have to understand that everyone is tinkers differently. I am VERY happy with my car and went straight to a H/C setup... my best 1/4 pass to date- 12.5 @ 117. Its not optimal by any means but its a lot of fun, fits my budget, is dead nuts reliable and gets 29mpg highway; yet on this forum it would be ridiculed as some sort of underachiever (or, before anyone says it, needs the "driver mod").
Why not show off the hot rodding skills instead of passing everything off as simple bolt ons?
Explain why it matters how trap speed is calculated at a drag strip? Are all those cars not traveling at those speeds when they are at the end of the runway?
It isn't so much the fact that people are jealous about the fact that he is quicker or faster than some, he is just an arrogant ***** and belittles others for not running similar to him. That is why people dog on him a lot.
He's never given me **** for having a half assed setup or my poor driving skills. certain people are like like oil and water though so I'm not sure you can prevent some of that from happening here.

You honestly don't know? It's the entire reason I hate magazine times being used in comparison to actual drag strip results... the trap speeds are always "wrong" because the way drag strips do trap speeds vs a vbox (for example) and they DA correct the results.
Okay so I did Google this. They average your speed within the last 66 feet of the track. So then you have to calculate how long it took my car to travel that last 66 feet. 1 mph = 1.5 feet per second. So 89 mph would be roughly 134 feet per second. 66 ÷ 134 = 0.492 seconds. So about 1/2 second for me to travel that last 66 feet. How much do you think my car could have accelerated in that last 1/2 second? 2 or 3 mph at most?

Why do you keep saying .4 seconds? I've seen you mention it A LOT. Can't you math? 12.800-12.460=.340... That **** doesn't even round up to .4.

Troof. Hell I did it with only a few bolt-ons, a stall, and a tire. But by ls1tech standards my car would've been a gutted racecar with FBO.
