Bracket racing is basically this idea. You “dial in” a time and your goal is to consistently hit that time. If a 14 second car has a 14.00 dial in time and does a 14.05 vs a car with a 10.00 dial in time that does a 10.10 the 14.05 wins. They both race in the same class and at the same time but HP doesn’t matter so…

It looks like he jumped...but I don’t see a red light in the video nor do I see a “-” before his reaction time so I don’t think he did. To get a perfect reaction time you basically have to anticipate the green. The rough theory is that you leave on the last yellow and by the time your brain talks to your foot and the…

Sounds like really good prep.

Excuse the potato quality - this car is local to me!

2011 Cadillac CTS-V wagon, manual.

I also drag race my wagon. 12.59 @ 112MPH is my best. I think it was 1.9 60. Corsa exhaust, Air Raid intake, MT ET/SS 19" radials in my 6 speed wagon.

I have drag radials on my wagon...they start life at 6/32nds. lol

Me too! My Michelin’s lasted 20,000 km’s (which I thought was good life). I’ll be lucky to get 10,000 km’s out of my Mickey Thompson’s. Gotta pay to play!

Nokian tires have a really cool feature built into the tire tread. There are percentages cut into the tread block and as you wear the tire the higher numbers disappear. I can read tread, use a gauge or check wear bars but this feature is good for someone who is less confident about measuring tread.  

I wonder if storage method affects this longevity of the rubber. I suspect if this was in a Honda vault it was in the dark away from the suns effects. Just a guess, but maybe that wouldn’t have made a difference anyways. 

This exact spec was my dream car in 99/00' (when I was around 16 years old) However in Canada this was an “SiR”. I read every Sport Compact Car and had a complete mod list ready (Apexi Exhaust, DC Header, Jackson Racing Supercharger and Enkei wheels all come to mind) for when I got the car. Alas I never got one, but…

I’m over this car and it doesn’t hit show rooms for another year. It’s going to have to be pretty spectacular to renew any interest when it does come out.

in the same vane I saw a Dodge Ram with “ODGE” emblazoned on the front skid plate, in smaller font it said “You’ll get the “D” later” ... pretty much toppping the douchey “Ram the daughter Dodge the father” decals thats Ram owners are so fond of.

Another re-badged Ford, surely this will save the brand!

I can’t watch the video at work...did they post the slips in the video? if yes what is the 60' time for the Mustang? Every 1/10th of a second in the 60' is worth 2/10's for your ET. if the Mustang did something like a 2.2 ( versus something like a 1.9 which should be achievable) it could be a full 6/10's slower in the…

I’d like to see the 60' times, a race can easily be won or lost in the first 60'. Also what was the DA (density altitude) a Turbo car will be affected less by a higher DA versus a naturally aspirated car. The MPH tells us what we already know - the Mustang makes more power but it seems a driver mod is required. 

It wasn’t my road trip, but I made someone elses trip strange. I am a huge CTS-V wagon fan and own a 2011 M6. I keep an eye on whats available in the market to know what mine is worth (even though it’s not for sale). I had seen a 2013 Wagon, M6, black with titanium interior for sale and was hoping it would stay in my…

While I suspect the person is just being dramatic...the article does say Uconnect controls “some climate control functions” I don’t know which ones they are but I can tell you its -30 celsius where I live and if I don’t have defrost my car isnt moving.  

Digital images are often required, and prior approval needed to order certain parts under warranty and a corporate tech line will require certain diagnostic tests be performed to confirm. Advisers have little control over warranty coverage

I’m not going to say it looks like an Aztek, but I think of a Pontiac before I think of Lamborghini when I see this. I would much rather have seen the Asterion concept come to production over this thing. Maybe I will change my mind when I see one in person, but for now the Lambo design language isn’t working on this…
