Hey Guys,
Tonight I went to the track with a bunch of my friends to see what my car could run before I do my 20 valve silver top 4A-GE swap, and I ended up lined up against a Viper GTS with exhaust on one of my four runs. wink.gif We took off and I got completely smoked all the way through the race! The Viper ran a 12.4 and I ran a 17.7, which was the fastest of my four runs. My slowest run was an 18 flat. Tomorrow I can get the slips out of my friend's car and I can get some exact numbers.

How does my track time compare to other ST track times for the quarter mile? Keep in mind that I had a slow reaction time of about .6-.8 on every one of my runs.

Also, if anyone's curious, here's a pic of the Viper that was at the track.

Of course it does, if the clock starts from when the tree drops and you're not moving well... enough said.  A lot of places just say .5 second correction time, and take that off your ET.  But even more don't.

No RT doesnt matter to ET. The clocks starts as soon as your car moves, not at the green light wink.gif

correct, Reaction time does not count towards your ET. The reaction time is how long from when the light turns green til your car passes the starting line. Your ET starts when you cross the starting line til the end.
