I did run with the vbox at Sac and it was pretty close but Alan and I would agree the ET is correct and the traps are 3 mph off. Even then I ran faster at Famoso then I do at Sac with major traction issues yet I trapped within the same range as Sac. Even with this proof people still think it's some spoof and say it isn't possible for his car to run what it does.

Alan is a nice guy and will help anyone out at the track, yet he gets **** on it's ridiculous. I'm with him, if you don't believe it then bring it. It's sad more guys back east would show up before the local guys.

I havnt been following what the buzz is,I thought it was another trap speed debate lol.

Just be lucky that your tracks are open,i have to wait till apr 7 and its driving us nuts in the snow ova here lol.

ps vinny that a wicked fast car for a 168 pulley,I would maybe go to the 172 or 175,I have the 180 but its not as fast once its heat soaked.

It looks like your car is making great numbers and is very consistant.

Why is there even still a discussion about trap speeds.... so what if the track reads 3 mph higher or even 300 mph higher? The guy said a million times that he is not going by trap speeds and doesn't even care about them anymore. ETs at Sacramento have been shown to be almost dead on identical to other tracks when comparing runs in similar weather conditions. And in the end, ETs are what decide winners in races.

Lets get this party started..... Alan, my car is stage 0 and I'll take your car anytime anywhere...... no literally, I'll just take the keys to your car and leave

WOW man. I really hate to say this but , The better man(winner) will not walk away.. It's only racing.. You guys get one of your kids in the ER room of your local hospital then tell us how fast your car is.. Come on , if it's not a blast to race or you feel you have something to prove, It's time to find a new hobby.. Let the hater talk Allan and hater keep talkin. You both are making eachother react which makes you weaker that the other.. Be cool We all love to race and or cars. just leave it at that.. Josh and I just wanted to race to see how close we are. Be it 9 second 1/4 mile or 15 second miles. Time ment nothing, just the fun of having a close and fun race.. A true hobbiest just love the spot not the results..

WOW! after reading the OP I said oh ***** someone has pissed you off! Hey we can make more interesting and anyone could run all three of us? Someone can bring their stage 1 and run against my stock powered kitten, another could bring their stage 2 and run against mike and stage 3 and above can take a stab at you!

I didnt know this was a issue of ets,over here on the east side we all use trap speed a a huge indicator of how much power the car is making.

like when we got 4 bone stock e55s on the same day all trapping 113-114 and then coming on here and seeing 115-118 traps over at sac started a huge debate back in the day.

at the end your right its about ets

vinny the 175 is for sale on here,i thinks its a vrp pulley,check out the used parts section

Yeah, it's always been about the ET's...ask Ahmad. I have always said this from the beginning.

Have any of you guys ever read anything on this board about me bragging about my ET's or traps? I trapped 135.6 at Sac with my best ET of 10.776. I waited until the ET's were proven at Famoso before posting my times on dragtimes. Just for the record I know my car doesn't trap 135.6 but I'm very proud of my 10.776.

Like I said, I could only take so much and now it's time for all the nay-sayers to step and prove to ME how fast they are. My car has been more than proven....has yours (to the people I'm challenging).

Here are some Sac times.

'09 GTR 11.807@118.620 corrected=115mph
'09 CTS-V 12.36@117.31 corrected=114mph
E55 LET stg 1 12.88@116.23 corrected=113mph
'07 E63 12.41@114.14 corrected=111mph
'07 M6 13.30@113.194 corrected=110mph

I have to say I think Sac's times aren't 3mph too high, or all these cars are broken.

Yup, every time we talked Alan has expressed that he is all about the ET's like a true racer
