RT/ET > TRAP SPEED

another fine example why trap speeds mean shit

I think the 60ft and the 1/8th times helped a little bit

Sweet vid. And I disagree on the trap speeds comment. If you have a FWD car that just doesnt get out of the hole very hard, you will not always get an accurate idea of how fast it is. But, by looking at trap speeds it gives you a little better picture. For example, something that runs a 14.0 but traps at 115mph. The example I am using is a buddy who has a FWD Talon.

Trap speeds tell you much more about power than e.t. Of course, first one to the finish line wins.
