I am sure several of the Super Cars are comparable to Bo's - we have gone 5.84 @ 118 and I think our 1.303 60ft puts us in th ball park with him - so America has a few which can out run it

We were not there - need to be on the same track side by side before talking - we are working on that

Bret - I sent you another email about .....

The video is marked as "Unlisted" because I haven't released it yet. LOL!

I was planning to officially release it on Wednesday but that is the technique we'll be using for coverage of the ADRL events all year. It's different and I'm sure many of the old guys will find it "not normal".

That's exactly the idea.

That was true... then.

I was looking at 0-60 times for the new 2013 Camry V-6 in the December 2011 issue of Motor Trend magazine: 5.8 seconds. The Volkswagen Passat was a tick faster at 5.7.

Both ran over 100 mph in 1320 feet. Quarter mile times in the 14.20s...

Not a fluke... These are front-wheel, drive grocery getter.soccer mom cars....

Just sayin'... LOL!
