Equipment was off... That's all there is to it... BlownSonoma ran a 13.6 @ 105mph with his well, what it says "BlownSonoma" with 2.2 60' times I believe... I ran a 14.6 @ 97mph with 2.2 60' times last weekend which is nothing to brag about but you can see how the MPH's differ between the vehicles... Seeing a 15 second car in the 100mph+ range would mean you had some 3.5 60' times or something crazy, but had a HUGE Turbo/Supercharger/Nitrous to get your car moving after hooking up.

Make scense to anyone?
No, simply because your trap speeds are NOT taken with a radar gun. The track timing system records the time it takes you to travel the last 60 feet of the 1/8 and the 1/4 mile (or anywhere they give trap speeds on the track), then compute your average speed over those 60 feet by doing the following equation:
VELOCITY = DISTANCE / TIME
Obviously the timing system at that track is screwed up, because those speeds are no way realistic.
Ahh yes I see. The 2 sensors could've been off, or the computer that tallys it could've been glitching.

Maybe I'm a wee bit off topic, but how again can you get the same times but different final speeds?

Miles per HOUR is where you're messin' up. You gotta use metric time.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Speed is equal to how much HP your car has, time equals to how good of a driver you are at getting it down the track. Also time has a little to do with torque too.
FYI I ran a 15.484 @ 86.60 before i had all my mods, but then ran a 15.021 @ 90.43 after the mods. I've ran a top speed of 91.15, but only had a 1/4 time of 15.142. I KNEW I didn't shift fast enought on that run, otherwise I would have been into the 14's  (remember my car is NOT an SVT)

Ummmm no. That wouldn't make sense either. That would put the trap speed at 60-65 mph.
