MannyJoe, glad to hear that you're out thrashing your car. Whole lot more fun than just waxing it and looking at it in the garage.
The times indicated are:
I1 60'
I2 330'
I3 1/8th mile
I4 1000'
They are all interesting in determing how well you car is doing but the only thing that really counts is getting the big "W". Tires and suspension tend to be more important in running our little roller skates than who makes the most power. I know that I ran against cars with considerably more horse power and torque than I have but I put them in the weeds because I could put mine to the pavement. On the other hand, they would be on their second cup of coffee, waiting for me to catch up on a nice twisty-curvy stretch of mountain road. Life would be boring if we all liked the same things. Consider the grief I get for having a nasty Rat motor in my car, but you know, I can't hear that grief very well, when its coming from behind me at the strip.
