So you are saying that gears don't effect 1/4 times that much? Are you on crack, have you ever raced a car before? I have seen gears drop a FULL SECOND of the 1/4 time and they improve the acceleration across the board! But I don't know what I am talking about do I. Lets see I have only built several cars, went two years to be a mechanic, go to purdue for mechanical engineering, and worked as a engineer for a major automaker, so basically there is no way I could possibly know what the hell I am talking about.

Let me guess your background you are 12 you have read several magzines and played tons of Gran Torismo 2 right? I mean come on 301hp at the wheels thats what 345hp at the crank throught 3.73 gears in a 3500 pound car thats similar to what those Modded LS1 cars claim and they say they are in the high 12's.

Bottom line is anything can happen in street racing and some cars run stronger than others it takes a lot to call BS on a guy you don't know and is not claiming anything unrealistic.
