from a stop = Tests your entire cars ability.
from a roll = tests about 30% of your cars ability.
i guess since these turbo imports are only fast when their turbo spools (which is about 30% of the time), thats where they want to "race".
what about the other 70%?
My thoughts exactly Dave. Half of the people on here wouldnt know a race if it hit them in the head.
I would never claim a "kill" from a roll. And if you ever see me on the road dont try to go from a roll with me, because all it will do is make me laugh. BAAHAHAHAHAHAH[/quote]
I would agree with the top part off this. I do not race from a roll. Which brings me to the 2nd part. I`m not sure why you think a turbo car is in the boost only 30% of the time when going wot. I cant speak for all turbo cars but i know mine is in boost from the time i leave the line and all the way down the track. Oh and good kills Will.

I will hopefully have my new tranny and clutch in this weekend. And come back next weekend and race some people from a stop. I have no intention of talking smack to anyone and would just like friendly races. Friendly, by which I mean, no smack talk before or after. I came out Sat to have fun with my friends (tehy hadn't seen the car in like 6 months), I got to race some people and had a great time. I could only race from a roll saturday because my tranny and clutch are shot. Not an excuse just a reason why i didn't run from the dig. But let me tell you an mr2 launches almost as quick as a AWD DSM. 
Like I said I will run people, but for fun and hopefully it will stay fun. Thanks Al

the new z28's/ss's are fast...end of story. with drag radials and 6 speeds and a few minor mods they can be in the 12's...as i've witnessed this myself.
(and this is coming from a honda owner, i'm giving these cars the credit they deserve)

Once again your reply plus several others after this one list off lots of people with "simple" mods and run in the high 12's or low 13's as you mentioned but none "stock" as mentioned earlier.
Stock = from the factory (NO MODS).
I am only making this point because of all the previous statements that have been made that say so and so's car runs 12's and it is stock. But later on it ends up being stock plus a lid and / or some other simple things.
Just trying to clerify the obvious for everyone.

I can see it now, soon there will be ricer tracks opening up all over the country with a half mile open stretch where the staging lanes would be so they can get a rolling start.

I think you are on to something here. We should go buy some vacant land and throw a 1/2 mile strip of narrow tarmac down it and charge people to run on it.
We could even have a few old decommisoned police cars there and throughout the night we could randomly chase people. What do you think

the lid is worth a tenth or two at the most.
next time i go to BMP ill bring the stock lid, i PROMISE ill still run 13.0 if not 13.0 then VERY close to it!
in fact ill leave it in the trunk in case anyone sees me on the road and wants to run a "stock" LS1. 
Im not wearing Nittos,i have the stock factory RSA tires. my best 60' is 1.96 and in the 10 runs i have so far ive only gone 2.0 or slower one time.
i think my car is fast stock becuase the cops did a good job beating hte LS1 motor in for me. the more you beat on an LS1, the faster it goezzzzzzz.

Not picking on the F-Body people just trying to make a point to a few people.
