Thumbs down Is this GT2 Timeslip doctored? Check it out...

By an administrator?

Read the first post, and then go to the 2nd page and read javasuperhero's post. Kind of fishy if you ask me.

haha i love stuff like these. why would people try to trick other people why they are not professional in that -- yet? i mean, you have a fast car, that's for real, why alter stuff?

Shank, are you sure that timeslip hasn't been photoshopped? As a graphics guru, I found the following:

The trap speed has been altered. The "12" in the "128.92" is significantly smaller than the "8.92". My best guess is the "12" was taken from the smaller font used in the other parts of the timeslip. The "12" and "8" have been smushed together and are not straight. My best educated guess is that your true trap speed was a 118.92 and not 128.92.

The ET has also been doctored. The second "1" in "11.149" has been brought in from a different part of the timeslip as well. It does not match the size or distance of the rest of the numbers in the ET. Your ET was most likely a 12.149 and not an 11.149. So you ran a 12.149 @ 118.92 MPH.

Also, the "Ov/Un" entry of the timeslip shows a 11149 which was also doctored. It's no coincidence that the bogus ET uses all five of these numbers as well (11.149) in the same exact order.

Lastly, it's virtually impossible for your car to run 9.861 in the 1000' and 11.149 in the 1/4 mile. This would mean your car only needed 1.288 seconds to travel this distance! I checked numerous 9 and 10 second timeslips from various different AWD and RWD cars and not ONE could beat that 1.288. Those are 9 and 10 second cars! Your car needed 2.288 seconds since it ran a 12.149 and not 11.149.

Anyone who plays with graphics would know right away just by looking at the "8" in your trap speed that it was doctored. Doesn't that look awfully awkward to anyone else? The size just doesn't fit at all with the rest of the numbers. When you blow it up in your graphics program of choice there becomes ZERO doubt that this slip has numerous alterations.

I just thought I'd post the FACTS and not comment on possible motives or intentions...

well he posted the pic to the slip again.

dunno, even if the time slip wasn't PS, java still posted one very weird timing (something from 1000' to 1/4 mile in 1.2 secs?). if even a 9 seconds car can't do it, how can that mere gt2 do it? the admin can brag all day about the other timing, but how can he himself explain this one?

btw, i don't know if it's just me or not, but does anyone think that the tone/way/attitude of how the admin speaks is kinda stupid and childish? i don't know, if it's from a member i might understand. but an admin driving a gt2? umm....

oh well, i don't have that car anyway, i don't want him to call me out for a race...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

take the 1.288 seconds in the last 320' and multiply it by 4, which gives you your ET for that 1/4 mile; 5.152 seconds, multiply by another 4 which gives you your 1 mile time at that rate of speed; 20.608 seconds.

We all agree that there are 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in every minute, so 60 minutes x 60 seconds is 3600 seconds in an hour: 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds.

So if 1 mile is 20.608 seconds then you can plug it in to the equation.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds
1 hour = 60 minutes = 20.608 seconds per mile
1 hour = 60 minutes = 174.69 miles per hour

any mathmaticians want to correct me? I am pretty sure I am right.

So in conclusion for that last 320' you were traveling at 174.69 miles per hour.
