G35 sedan stock VS Camaro SS L99 Auto on the track rnd 2
hmmm interesting
Is there another way to check for a tune? If the car has one, Miller is totally unaware of it. If he finds one, he'll honestly admit it I'm sure. As I said before, his dad bought it used and then sold it to Miller so it's possible something was done to it.
Ive started to somewhat believe Millars claims, mostly because my GMS1 cobalt is way faster than it should be as well. Perhaps there is a bit of a stars aligning type of thing going on
Also a lot of things to consider
Full weight car VS a car with the trunk stripped and no spare
Full or near full tank of gas VS a car that puts in 1L per run or w/e
A fat 350lb person driving vs 150lb person
A good tank of 94 vs a poopy tank of 91
Some cars will have more intelligent computers to adjusts itself to the weather/ the way it uses the traction of the track(auto or manual)
I trapped consistent 108s with 60fts of 2.7 lol.. just GMS1

Your saying a 2.1 60ft, id trap lower?? I doubt it lol
Quicker you get to the finish line the less time you have to get your speed up im guessing....I had a friend that had a horrible 60' and ended up trapping 118 on a stock tune lnf with a few mods which don't do anything without a tune.
for a given car, the lower your 60 ft, the higher your trap. I believe it's because if your 60 ft is high, you probably wasted too much time spinning but you'll be going faster by the time you're done spinning.
lol people never seem to understand ET vs trap speed.
the faster you get to the finish line, the less time your car has to go faster.
hence why an AWD car will have an awesome ET but a low trap speed.
getting off the line quicker and saving time makes up for it's slower top end.
hence why an sti or evo will slaughter a tc in the 1/4 but lose from a roll.

I have trapped the same mph regardless of my 60 foot. That's with g35 and accord.
Accord I have ran anywhere from 14.0 @ 101 mph to 14.9 @ 100 mph, trap speed has NEVER gone up with worse 60 foot. The only time trap has gone up(ironically with faster 60 foot) is when the DA has gone down, or if I hold out a gear a tad longer.
Heard about this theory, but evidently has never applied to ANY of my cars.

So I raced a full bolt on Cobra on drag radials(LCA's, headers, x pipe, intake, etc.; BUT no tune and STOCK gears).
Also raced a 2003 Mach 1 with exhaust and 4.10's, it was bumper to bumper to 120 mph.
