I like both as well. But if I had to choose it would be that 130 mph car vs the 120 mph car most of the time.

low E.T's = faster car

MPH doesn't really mean shit. It does but it doesn't. People always use trap speeds as excuses to why they can run faster times. low ET's don't lie.

I guess MPH is important if you are a wanna be roll racer...

I'd be lieing if I said lower et, at least with the higher mph there's more potential.

MPH wins on the street, even from a dig. Now that I only run at the track, I am more concerned with ET. When I street raced, my mustang always ran mph that was equivalent to a car running a few tenths to a half second faster. Put it this way, I got a move from a low 11 second (11.0-11.20 ET) motor car, my car only ran 11.90's on the motor. He came halfway up my door before the rpm's got to where I made decent power (vtec yO), then I actually pulled a car through second and third. At the track, he would have left me at the starting line.

I will still stick with E.T's. Probably cause I have such a low mph which isn't something to brag about.
