At a 118-21mph, you would expect the ET to be much lower. I run similar ET's on RWD and trap 9-13 mph slower than you.
Insight on the run?
That trap speed is very impressive.

I'm actually baffled by this time slip, 120mph trap, 1.89 60', but yet a 12.9 ET. It's like he got out of the hole and sand bagged for a few seconds before getting on it haha
Is he running race gas? I think that might be a record trap speed for our cars if it's legit :

1.89 60' doesn't seem like he is struggling that much!

A 1.8-2.o 60" and a 12.9@118-121
Just doesn't make much sense.
Maybe he rolled a tad, and started the clock, the trap is off, or spun for a second on the 1-2 shift.

It was the cars 3rd outing there and 2nd with race fuel.
He has said it was throwing a traction light changing into second so could have bogged power
Will get new runs with better tires

120mph is literally a 2010 GTR trap, but if this car had huge traction issues, it should walk an older GTR from a roll!

4.2 seconds to 60mph is by no means a slug... Tires are the limiting factor on this car. Even at stock power levels, the car puts down a mediocre 60 ft time. If the car came with wider rubber, or if someone put some real sticky shoes on it, then you would be seeing sub 4 second 0-60's with stock power level.
Pedal commander does nothing for increasing speed.. Everyone raves about these, but the fact is all it is doing is giving you more throttle... Press the throttle 20%, and you really get more than that with the Pedal Commander.. It's something you can do yourself just by flexing your right ankle a little more. Never did understand people's obsession with such a useless mod.

I would love to see this car replicate a 120+mph trap speed at another track. I say dodgy speed trap on this as cars elsewhere with similar mods are at least 6-7mph slower and that's at sea level too!!!
Just doesn't add up

Yeah, there is something wrong with the data collection system. Looks like the trap is too far out. 121 is mid 11s all day but the 60ft doesn't show a tone of wheel spin.

Was this in mexico city? 12s is fast at high elevation.

Years ago, I had an RD 350 and RD 400 Yamaha two stroke twin that ran just like Rebellion's car did. "Sorta" a dog out of hole, BUT once she got on the "pipes", she'd go. Small displacement FI engines tend to do just like the old 2 strokers did.

Actually, makes total sense. The car was hooking relatively well (look at 60 foot time) , BUT once it did after the 60 foot time, it went strong. In other words, Matt's car would run close to it till a lil less than the 1/8 mile and then after that its lights out for the 5.4 V8 because like a small Turbo 4 tends to do, it gets on its "peak" and really goes. You ringy dingy two stroke motorcycle riders know what I am talking about here. Its torque at the bottom (V8) versus torque at top for the 4 banger.

RWD cars with Worse 60' times, and 8-10 mph slower trap speeds, still run in the mid 12's...
I'm starting to think there has to be something wrong with the data collection system as well. No 45 is going to gain 12-13mph trap speed with just a tune and simple bolt ons, and at 8000ft at that!!! Oh, and with how much 'faster' it is trap speed wise, it still ran a slower ET than a Stock 45, even though it had good 60' time and crazy high trap speeds.
Trap speed is certainly off, physics says so lol

How does this make sense?? You just said yourself the car hooked up well, and then posts a 120mph trap speed. It is impossible, to get that kind of 60' time, to trap that high, but yet have such a high ET.
