ohh dont forget traction, the reason the 11 second PE cars run 10's in JHB! as documented with 3 different cars all running the same setup at both altitudes.

we all know in an ideal situation, with perfect launch, perfect traction, perfect gearshifts, it will take a lot to drop 1 second. Unfortunately, we not NHRA racers here, and none of these factors are ever perfect. So with just a little better traction you can shave off large chunks of time, for example, guys at the coast dropping about 6 tengths when they run in jhb, just because of better traction. SnS have docemented this as well.

traction and all that is a big part of the game, in the end any car in 11's and 10's have my respect....

Thats a frighting quick car, Twin turbo set up still. so not single big ass turbo, ran quicker then the time with his old car.
he is currently busy with 2 other sylines which should be just as strong, if not stronger.
