Default Re: TREMEKS FASTEST CAR...?

In my (limited) experience, spinning doesnt improve your traps. Ever notice that no matter what your launch is like (i.e. whether you dead hook or spinning to a 2.6 60 ft) your traps are pretty much the same? If anything, excessive spinning would result in you having a lower trap speed b/c you are using less of your 1320 ft to accelerate.

That is just the opposite of another friend of mine who has an 2001 T/A, LT's, True duels, lid, 3500 stall....that's it and he runs 12.0's but only at like 106mph. I trapped that in STOCK form. It's just the fact that he gets such a great hole shot ( 1.7 60' ) that he never gets a chance to really get into the top end. I only said that I can keep next to my other friend and he traps in the 115 range, hell I might be faster....or I might be slower.


Oh, I also spanked a C6 vette w/ CAI, headers and exhaust this afternoon. Went from 40ish w/ me in 2nd gear and I stopped and let out at 125ish and had about 3 car lengths on him.....WOW was he pissed. LOL
