Here, take a look. SCCA ProSolo Finale reaction times and 60'
Before you get your panties in a bunch again, RT is based off of a perfect light of 0.500

Once again, I'd like to see YOU, on asphalt or concrete pull 1.9 and I'll eat my words. Forget the dragstrip.
Once again, I'm going to point to the fact an app on an iphone with a 1hz GPS is going to be accurate, you're insane.
Just to clear it up for you, since you probably don't know what I'm talking about here, is 1hz is 1 cycle per second.
So how you can accurately go ahead and say you have a 1.9 60' when the GPS can only physically pull data 2 times in 2 seconds?
Exactly.....you can't
Thanks buddy for showing you're ignorant and a complete waste of my time.
Go ahead and brag about your 60' to the cool kids at the drag strip and I'll have fun passing you on an actual track in a 128 |
My panties are in a bunch? Take it down a notch, go take your Flintstones vitamin, and read what the OP said. His post reads: "Did some quick 1/8 mile runs." It doesn't say "Went to SCCA event and launched my car through their traps." If you interpret "Did some quick 1/8 mile runs" as anything other than drag racing, then I think you're the ignorant one of the two of us. This wasn't supposed to be a dick-measuring contest, I was only trying to add my experience in doing (exactly) what the OP was talking about, but since you took a left turn down Insult Avenue, allow me to retort, one menacing allegation at a time:
No one said you live your life anywhere. Not sure why I'm a douche, but if it pumps your erection, name-call away.
Drag strips come in all manner of "prep" - some are good, some are great, and some have water in the groove from FWD cars driving through the box. To say that "real life physical grip is blown out of proportion" is, well, dumb. And no one is "bragging" about going anywhere, you got offended because we aren't talking about your kind of racing, which I was hoping you wouldn't, but you did. C'est la vie. Let's revisit your blanket statement "LOL @ that 60' No way that is happening." Guess what? It does happen. It happens all the damn time, actually. Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I read your list, it's awesome, I guess you didn't look at it very hard, because there are a BUNCH of cars with sub 2.0 60' times, guess what they all had in common... Good tires. I could, and did routinely pull off sub 2 second 60' in a RWD car, on the street - with Nitto 555R (those are DRs), and guess whose feelings were always hurt? The STi and Evo guys who lined up next to me and couldn't fathom how they got dug. That's neither here 'nor there and realistically I couldn't care less about proving it. I think it's funny you asked for "proof or some kind of ticket," got a vast resource of exactly that, then changed your tune and called me a douche. That pretty much tells me everything I need to know about you.
You're missing the entire point of the post, and everything you've said since your first post is just spam, with no new or helpful information. The OP obviously knows that his lowly 1hz GPS mapping iphone app is not the most accurate means for measuring times over distance, heck he said it in his post. Originally he's asking what to make about the time, you came in like Mr. tough guy the authority on all things and "LOL", which isn't really adding anything valuable to this thread, would you disagree?
Lastly, If you'd like to meet sometime or someplace and have this discussion in person and not from behind your keyboard I'd be fine with that. Or if you really *really* feel like you have to "pass me on an actual track in a 128," then I'd oblige that as well. Gimme a call or text, you can PM me for my mobile number.
