There's a 13.6 for you right there, even without perfecting your launch control!!

Anyone watch the Nismo 370z on Motorweek this week? They got it to do 1/4 mile in 13.8 sec. Said it was incredibly difficult to launch.

I'm pretty sure the reaction time doesn't affect the ET, Jorge.

Correct, unless you are racing someone.
Reaction time is worthless if you are just going against yourself, you can sit at the green and wait if you want, the clock starts when you roll forward.

Really!?!?! Damn, that means I really didn't run a 13.9 with my Eclipse turbo when the slip said 14.2 and my friend told me to back the r/t out!!!! That's what I get for listening to another amateur!!! Thanks for clearing this up Ray.
