For the next show, there will need to be vendors, otherwise it will be a lost cause.

I raced one of my good friends in his GTi vr6 in the 1/8th, I hit a 9.9, he hit a 10.2.. But his reaction time was .4 better then mine so he got the win light.

True, but I was under the impression that the point of running the 1/4 mile was to get a time. Silly me. I always wondered what that big sign with lighted numbers was.

Funny thing is, the Stage 0's running around, don't stay a Stage 0 for very long before they are getting upgraded. So, I would think your request is next to impossible to find.

It's also worth mentioning that the black ZPI tc was running ~8 psi due to what we like to call "Stock Clutch Syndrome".

This disease can be crippling, but can be cure by a few hard working hours in the garage...

I did recall Rob saying something like it was still only running 7-8psi.

It seems as if I've started an up roar amoungst the ZPI haters. instead of being real men, they resort to name calling and bashing on peoples car...LOL. Some people are such a tool.

Anyhow, don't mean to stray off subject somewhat.

You have to keep in mind. That tC was S/C only. And the driver is no spokesperson for all of TRD on it's times.

Everyone, don't forget, these times are that of a wet track condition.

the rs 1 with the s/c got a 15.8 while you got a 15.1 in the 1/4...

how is that possible, is it due to driver error, or can all that really happen due to just the track being wet? lmk, cuz i plan to get the s/c...

Lighter car, better driving are some of the attributing factors. Don't shoot the messenger.
