Well he says it is a kid in a Vette, so I'm guessing it isn't the geriatric driver syndrome. And I would expect that a factory dud with headers would pull at least as good as a normal car. I guess I'll just have to go with option C). This guy just flat out could not drive worth a darn.
I am going to have to agree ... or he possibly just got the car, and/or wasn't completely flooring it for some reason?

MaroKid if you read the thread he only pulls a 13.1 @ 110 WITH the nitrous shot. If he ran a low 13 without the bottle, there would be no confusion whatsoever. It just seems like the numbers don't add up here. But as the poster said that's the street I guess.
Yep, thats what we're talking about ... personally I think he just had a bad day at the track, and that explains the 13.1.

I thought the race was from a roll? I guess you guys are talking about him beating the kid from previous digs without nitrous?

the race was from a first gear roll. but the times from a dig he did not hook well and my car hooks good on the street suprise but by the time he hooks and starts reeling me in im already at 100 and the race is pretty much over. but when he gets beside me and shifts at them high speeds he leaves me but after the nitrous run the other night on the way back he jumped and got a little ahead hit the limiter and i was right there with him but niether of us pulled. so maybe that explains some stuff to yall.

I found bullitt the other day, and he's now spending the next few months in the hospital. Which is the reason why none of you have seen him around lately. Seems we have plenty of new trolls to pick on however.
