Neil doesn't hit the switch until he hooks up, meaning he's at LEAST Above 4k rpm when he does.
first off, our 60' and 330' times are pathetic, WE NEED MORE TORQUE. the car does not have enough torque to get up off the line fast enough to break into the 13s without some serious high end power...
It's a front driver, and it's a family sedan obviously NOT MADE for drag racing. Gimme a set of slicks, and I'll show you a 2.0 60'.
Like I said, low-end torque HELPS right off the line, but it's not necessary, to a point. Tell that to the guy with a Celica GT-S running slicks, race clutch, intake and exhaust running a 14.2 @ 98mph. How much torque does he have? He was ripping off 1.9-2.0 60' all night long.
look at david z's car. he has TONS of torque, and i believe he is one of the only people on this board to actually see 13s at the track.
He mostly has mid-range and top end power from about 4k-7k, which is what counts. And he's not in the 13s, he ran a 14.09 @ 98mph or 99mph.
