I was looking through lap times of different production cars, and there are some wildly out of place cars doing ring laptimes, some cars are faster than they seem they should be, while others are slower than they should be. Which got me thinking how some cars truly get tested in showroom condition, and others get the “marketing” treatment to produce a laptime a showroom car would never touch, solely to sell more cars. Then I found this article that talks exactly about just that.

    I don’t think you’ve been in a 10R80 1st goes to like 50, more like ZF8 is useless 1st gear I launch 2nd.

    But that was my whole thing, most drags are in the street doing rolls, so 60-130 matters a lot more

      Brother, I own two of em. First tops out at 42 in my Mustang at 7.5k with a 3.15 with a big tire. My F150 barely kisses 30.

      Tell me again how smart you think you are lol

        I know better cause my car is actually fast, not some NA Mustang on a drag pack 😂

        Roll racing is still drag racing, just a subset of it

          You are definitely one of those guys haha. Tell me buddy, how deep in the 9s are you on your downpipe and intake with a tune you had to have someone else make? Or since you apparently don’t know how to launch, how deep in the 3s are you for a 60-130?
