      Zak Deckich it doesn’t matter if they have raced or not. You can put a girl in the drivers seat and she’ll still race but if you ask her how much horsepower she’s runnin, she won’t know. What I’m saying is it doesn’t matter if you have raced or not. It matters if you know the knowledge and background of it.

    Go on yellow. Don't wait for the light to turn green. You lose time that way. you get several inches of rollout till you trip the sensor. So going on the last yellow light will almost always give you a green light.

So 13.9 @ 105 out of a car that should be making at LEAST 350 to the wheels even after altitude losses is pathetic.

    It seemed to me on that last run that Roman let up before crossing the finish line. It's probably because the camera shot inside the vehicle was not in sync with the exterior shot of him not yet crossing. Did the Cadillac have anything like a cold air intake or a modified ECU chip? So many possibilities to bring that time down even further. Take out the back seat and the spare tire and he's easily into the low 13's if not high 12's!

      @racer774 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jay Trock - Pulling fuses during off-road driving is understandable because of the potential of sensors being activated by heavy vibration or a hard landing, etc. That is off topic. -- Unless you had your head tilted an abnormal amount backward with your full face helmet's chin guard pointing nearly skyward , there is no way an airbag's deployment could cause harm to you. My example refers to a POSSIBLE basilar skull fracture. The likelihood of this occurring is quite low and the benefits of wearing a helmet far outweigh this remote chance of airbag injury due to wearing a helmet. I need not include what can happen with a short driver whom has the seat moved very close to the steering wheel because manufacturers have warned against doing that since the '80s.
      Additionally, nice site you found as a reputable source to debunk that theory, +CareerFireman - I completely agree with you. Misinformation is bad advice. You probably see or hear of it in multiples compared to us not in the rescue profession.

    To bad you didn't have the 8sp auto.Looks like you didn't use launch control either.

    Showroom tires don't take to heat very well. Slight scrub of the tires, maybe a whips of smoke on street tires,

    Plain lessons here folks. Operating a high performance car with a manual transmission requires intense skill and a good deal of practice, if you don't got the muster, and most don't, please do not torture your drive train, be smart and get the more advanced technology, a high performance automatic. I see so few people smoothly work a manual; perhaps its time to admit that with the annoying shudders, inconsistencies, and inevitable wear its just not a sensible way to transfer power. Roman would have enjoyed himself a lot more with the computer controlled 8L90, and would of course delivered better times.

    Not sure why those times are so high. I have seen quite a few of these run low 12’s on stock tires, bone stock. He should have either tied or beat that Camaro.

      +Michael Lites It is probably faster at high altitude since the air is thinner.

      It may effect drag though but not sure how much of an issue that would be.
      Less dense air molecules can mean less drag.

      No. Tesla accelerates quickly. After 125 mph, you're shit outta luck and your battery is dead. 😁

  • @MrSupersaiyangoku
    @MrSupersaiyangoku 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    How does he NOT think doing a burn out is the faster way to a quicker time? But says in the beginning of the video he has always loved drag racing. EVERYONE knows burnouts before the green light heats up the rear tires which in turn gives you TRACTION. Especially if you not using drag slicks.

    • @TFLcar
      @TFLcar  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Servant of JESUS CHRIST Perhaps you misunderstood. On his second run Roman did a short burnout when he launched the car...not before to warm up the tires.

    • @racer774
      @racer774 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +WarmSoftKitty - Your reply is completely inaccurate. Traction control on OR not, with better traction capabilities (warm rubber), you will have a quicker time as a result as long as you drove the car correctly as well as having a car that would actually SPIN the tires because it had enough power to do so. Additionally, who in their right mind would attempt to drag race using actual mud or snow tires except, perhaps a 4 wheel drive truck or SUV driver that chose to take a quick stroll down the drag strip? Bridgestone Blizzak tires have been one of the best winter tires available for many years and they certainly hook up better when they are warm as opposed to being cold. ALL rubber, as long as it isn't overheated will grip better than cold rubber on ANY surface besides snow, which of course would garner no benefit either way by a change.of the rubber's temperature. I have no idea where you came up with your information but it isn't sound reasoning. Please share your source so they can be questioned as to why, also. Misinformation is bad information.

    • @ChevySpeedAddict
      @ChevySpeedAddict 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +WarmSoftKitty I ran on Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 once with a burnout and after about 20 minutes of sitting in line, I made a run without a burn out and my time was almost half a second slower the run with no burn out. Lesson of the day...unless you have Prius tires on your car, do a burn out.

    • @ChevySpeedAddict
      @ChevySpeedAddict 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +WarmSoftKitty you must've had lemon tires then because they were great tires for me. I have Continental ExtremeContact DW right now and they are great tires as well, but the Potenzas actually had better cornering traction and initial launch grip. but the contis are far better in the wet and wear much better as well. all while gripping for days.
