Nice clip, good light. Surprised they didn't make you take down the radar dector before the run, that could have gotten ariborne :D.

What did you run?What did you run against?

Looked like it was in the 13's or higher to me, just going off of the time on the video and the lead that the 10.4 car had on him. Still, it sounded wicked :D

when you are traveling over 150 mph in the 1/4 mile, a long distance doesn't mean it was a big difference in elapsed time. I'd guess it was hi 10's/low 11's.

Sorry, I guess I just cant count :rolleyes I'm telling you that that was about a 2 second or more lead. If it isn't, why doesn't Aries tell us what he ran? It'll put the whole argument to bed. I wont think any less of you Aries ;) It still sounds WICKED and yanked the front up pretty good it seems!

Just because the guy had a 2 second lead on him, doesn't mean anything. Lets say I sleep at the light. Guy next to me could finish first, but I can still run a faster time. The timer doesnt' start till you come out of the lights. The "green" light is the start of your R/T, not the start of the timer for the race. Does that make sense?

I'd say he's in the 12's from the look of it. He had a kinda slow start, and a couple of bad shifts. Still nothing to scoff at...

I like the video. :) Sounds so sweet. What kind of rear axle do you have in it? Stock or something custom?

Well it sounds like it was bouncing off the revlimiter or something. maybe it was just shifting. Darn auto V8's....

Looked hardcore. I liked how the radar detector bounced around when you launched. :)
