This thread is completely retarded!

Either the driver of the F was a complete moron or you need to wake up from your dream.

What was your time and trap speed? Any idiot could have drove the F in normal mode with the traction control still on, maybe even with AC on, nothing surprises me anymore.

haha, nobody's getting mad, just want you to tell us what time you ran. that way we will know if your 350 is really that fast or if that F is really slow, like I said, it can be any idiot behind the F. Its like telling us your 350 ran a 13.9 smoking the F that ran a 14.8, then we would all know whats up..... Just a F'd up driver in a F.... lol

At the Irwindale, CA 1/8th mile track, I can see this happening with your IS350...

IS-F inexperienced driver spins the wheels half way down the track before he gets traction..

Lets see the time slip so we can see the traction issues.
