    Jeez, the corvettes reaction time was like over 2 seconds and he still got an 11.47. (what is someone with a 2 second reaction time doing with a car that puts out 1200 RWHP lol!).
    If your reaction time was about 0.5 (quite acceptable) you would be into the low 11's' high 10's. Very impressive. Also impressed that the internals took a 1.4 spike, well done.

    Read it again dude.

    The final figure is without the reaction time. Long reaction indicates he was more concerned with his launch than what the other car was doing.

    As above... 1/4 mile times do not include the reaction time.. You can sit on the line for 30 secs and still get a time of 15secs..
    Oh.. Nearly forgot ......

    WELL DONE VALMES

    Your right, I didn't read that correctly!. (head full of carbon evo lol!)

    Q. Isn't the reaction time your reaction time from the xmas tree lights change till you trip the start timer?. As I get a reaction time when doing a solo run, ( no car in other lane).

    Re corvette, I meant if it takes you 2 secs to react to a light change, your reactions are pretty slow to be driving such a fast car!

    Yes the reaction time is the time taken from the green light to the breaking of the light beam timer . As was stated having a long reaction time may not be anything bad at all , there are times when you just want to setup properly before going , or even let the other guy get ahead so you have a rabit to chase .

    Traffic light races are different.. You need to be 1st off the mark as the the idiot in the Corsa next to u will be telling all his mates that he left a 300bhp car for dead at the lights even if you do pass him 50mts down the road

    That's the best ET I have seen for a proper Legnum! Cracking result. I look forwards to seeing the numbers come down as you play.

    That Corvette... did multiple 8 sec passes in US (best ET=8.49)... I found it and bought it for my THEN business partners.

    As for my times. It sure will come down! I feel there is a huge room for improvement...

    There was one r BAD start (Heh...), BAD shifts... I was going against 2004 WRX STi which did run 12.9 that day. Well, I lost the start, then gained some lengths in 1st gear... lost some more while was getting into 2nd gear (got it from the 2nd time). Same with 3rd and 4th... surprisingly, while in gear, I was able to pull on him so hard that I crossed the finish line first, even with my terrible shifting...

    Well I do feel it's quite fast for a full weight car, if I can gain 5-6 carlengths in 4th gear alone on a STi... )) so that driver goes "Were you spraying in 4th gear?"... "Nope, all boost baby!"

    ... and thanks for encouragement ppl!

    Wow I've just spent some time reading the whole thread! Awesome work Valmes, just wondering if you did make 500hp on standard internals in the end?

    Have look at Valmes' posts in ozvr4 as I think that's the most up to date info on his progress. Still stock internals so far.

    I'm not arguing...I'm just offering an endless series of contrary points of view.
