Re: 8.3?!?!?! 850 1995

I wasn't towing anything, but of course like any good Canadian I did have a canoe strapped to the roof rack :) On the tire side, I did no burn outs (in fact the tires were cold for all the runs), and I was running Yokohama A520s which I have never found to be all that sticky anyway.

Like I said, I was just looking for a repeatable process, not absolute measurements. Both of our measurement techniques should be taken with a big grain of salt if people are trying to compare absolute figures, as they both involve various human reaction times to launch the car, start/stop the timing system etc. The only absolute times I would put any faith in would be those timed by a G-Tech or a 5th wheel device.
