I know one thing, this dude is ripping into gears super quick. Almost no lag time. Sounds like an automatic shifting.....

 

Hi

Ok lets make this easy....

I have seen plenty (thousands) of quarter runs as a Crew chief...

10s
9s
8s
7s
6s
5s
4s
3s.....(rocket car)

My point being...I dont care how good that driver was......

THAT WAS NOT A 10 SECOND QUARTER...........

All the best Brett

Here's a 9 second car. An Audi S4 in Poland, no video however but the car is pushing 1000hp. www.audiworld.com front page feature.

As for the Vette, if he's lying it's only a matter of time before he gets called on it over on the Vette boards.

 

You know Brett, let's make this easy. Talk is cheap, and that's ALL you're doing. Why don't you tell us WHY it's not a 10-second quarter besides you saying it's not so? What proof otherwise do you have besides stating 'that was not a 10 second quarter'.

Thank you for being so insightful...

The guy making the run has video, a time-slip, and a bunch of witnesses. WTF do you have to support your claim of it NOT being a 10-second run besides being a 'Crew chief'?

You know what, why don't call the track up and find out for yourself and report back what they tell you, here's their website:

Shut up, or put up.

All the best...

 

Your reading skills have been confirmed - since it's a 10.85 run. .85 is a long time on a drag strip.

All the best



Here's another one

 

Hacker... you don't get out much, do you?

 

Just arrived home from a movie with the wife - took the Audi, Saw III - good flick if you are into that kind of thing.

Hi

In case you didnt notice....I am in the UK....

The reasons why I dont think thats a 10 second quarter....

Thats the worst video I ever saw...with NO ET...etc...

Secondly and most importantly.......EXPERIENCE....

I "KNOW" what a 10 looks like....and that aint it.....

Lets see the original video.....not the compressed version.....and a 1.5 to 2 second difference from the factory figure IS NOT THE DRIVER....a couple of tenths maybe...NOT a couple of seconds... lol

You dont want to listen to my opinion fine.....

Lets see HIS proof.....

All the best Brett

Hi

In case you dont get to the strip much.... a "10" is anything from a 10.001 to a 10.999 .....

All the best Brett

So......tires make zero difference?
Launching surface?
Conditions?
Amount of gas in the car?
Power shifting vs "normal" shifting?
List goes on......

 

Hi

NO..NOT 2 seconds worth.....ask any drag racer.....

All the best Brett

It's not the destination but the journey that matters. Paying for speed off the showroom floor is no accomplishment. Wow, your bank accounts bigger than mine..

Building up your own ride is more enjoyable in my book. My '70 MachI Mustang with a 600hp 428SCJ could do high 11's on a good day. Granted, much, much heavier than the vette, but I feel 10 is a stretch. Not saying that was not a 10 second run, but it was hard to tell. I couldn't get sound to work. Anyone else have that issue? With sound you can tell if the video has been speed up, sinc ethe engine will sound like a honda not a vette.

 

The car is fast, the driver is good. Technology is there. Who would you ask ? The bottom line , I'd rather have my car. ZEUS

 

One problem here Brett - you are basing everything on a conservative factory rating. There are plenty of posts / videos / documented 1/4 times beating the factory claims on the factory tires.

I could care less if this video is real or not. But claiming you know for a fact it's false due to your experience (that does not include ever driving the car in question) is BS.

All the best

One example of many - R&T 1/4 mile stock (on stock tires) 12.2

So that brings this video down to a difference of 1.35 seconds.......the plot thickens. A well known 928 owner picked up about that much at the drag strip by changing tires.

 

What do we have here......Car & Driver (again, street tires) posted a 11.8 second 1/4 mile time.

So, are tires and a better driver + maybe less gas + harder shifting + better launch worth 1 second?
