In-cab video of my runs last night... - F-Body Online

Nothing special. Track prep was horrible as I couldn't hook for shit.
Car has gone 1.6 short times bogging. Couldn't get anything better than upper 1.8's last night. DA was very close to 8000 last night as well.
Shifting issues were also a problem for me. Still learning the engagement point of the new set-up.

Had one classic run as well. Missed 2nd and just bailed on the run.

Sweet videos!!

What does "R/T" mean?

Slowass · 05-11-2007, 12:16 AM

Reaction time.
The amount of time between the light going green and the tire moving out of the beam.

Cool vid. That car sounds damn good!!

MarkuzLS1 · 05-11-2007, 08:49 AM

I think that's the worst reaction time I've ever seen!

That was my guess...but when I saw 1.8 I had to 2nd guess myself. Yikes!!

Nice work!

Thank you.

I wasn't paying any attention to the light. Was much more focused on my tach. Been trying to get the right RPM for this car to launch at. Still learning.
The RT didn't have any effect. Test and tune night.

Yeah, during Test & Tunes and races that don't matter, the more time you take with your launch the better. Gets you some practice on how to do it right before just jumping as quick as possible when the tree lights.

Some nice runs, the torque looks pretty violent when the gears engage

Well wel know on DD the real reason it looks so bad Rocket. Track prep.
