I thought that when they do numbers tests like this the actual 1/4 mile timer doesnt start until the tire crosses the front staging sensor, therefore negating the reaction time from the actual 1/4 mile time?
Correct. Epattonm is confused.
And there has always been controversy over hennesey. The cars will continue to be sweeet, finding customers may be harder if they research the company.

Now do you think the Viper SRT10 TT wil be more exclusive than a Carrera GT or even an Enzo? I don't think so. What actually amazes me though, is that someone owns a Carrera GT in Vancouver, British Columbia.

reaction time has nothing to do with ET.

I thought the same thing. There was that guy from Idaho that was suing him over the selling off parts of his car and never giving him his car back.
I seem to recall a C&D article about the guy landing on his feet and making right with at least some complaintants.

If you're thinking of buying one, hold out another two years for the Chrysler ME-412 prototype to make it on the market. 850 bhp and a top speed of 240 mph. The 44.9 inches total height got my attention, too. Read more about it here: ME-412

Yes, I know how they work, considering I have a turboed car. I was just stating that most guys who run external wastegates run open dump, which isn't street legal. Do you understand how they work?
