Nice pics! Clearly the camera lens is faster than the car!?

With more practice, you'll smoke that BMW!

How many cars usually go? There were soooo many cars there today we were only able to get 2 runs in 3-4 hrs.

Sorry but RT has no bearing on ETs.

Look at the info again. Do you really think the car moved 60' in less than 1/2 sec?

With all due respect to "tlin8" & "CrazyMPG" this was their First time ever at a drag track..

So I would plead "lack of experience" for these times...

I would love to drive this IS-F down the 1/8 or 1/4 to see its TRUE potential..

CrazyMPG > Can I borrow the IS-F Saturday Morning??
