you can gain velocity without covering as much ground...You've broken traction, the traction force is no longer impeding the torque input from your car. When you regain traction, your car can be at a higher MPH while having covered a shorter distance. The acceleration of the wheel will increase, due to less resistance (constant T-in) so you can reach that higher instantaneous velocity in a shorter distance, of course since you're covering less ground it's taking you longer to finish the 1/4, and once that traction force comes back into play that higher instantaneous acceleration you had is now lowered dramatically

same here 
/\ nah dont worry about me man its cool
stock 17inc falcon AZENIS RT-615 225/45
now i am running a 3in turn down in to a borla XL-R muffler.. could be why it had so much top end. there were was an LS1 there that i raced and he ran
13.3@104 MPH and i ran like 14.4@108 something and caught him in the end. LS1s pull like hell up top
but let me asked this, even with crappy driving and tires how many other people have traped that high before? i know of a few but thats it

Ahhh, reminds me of the good ol days. The days of the 14.1 @ 108 on pump gas in 90 degree heat. I remember I ran 14.1 @ 108 with a 2.65 60' lol. During the winter I ran 13.5 @ 113 on race gas, but I don't ever say it because the score boards were not working that night, and neither was the ET slip printer. The only way I knew what I ran was my friend listened to the announcer. So there isn't any PROOF that I actually did it
