Traction... it's all in the traction.


Better traction = lower trap speed/Faster ET

Poor traction = Higher trap speed/Slower ET

(but according to DoubleJ16, traction has nothing to do with it....lol)

hey if it wasnt about speed, you know you wouldnt mind rockin an Acura...I love the fact that with the windows up and the radio off I can barely hear my motor...it truly is a wonderful thing. Theres just no comparison between the two, the luxuary by far exceeds the tC in every possibly angle...dont get me wrong, I miss the fun factor of the tC, but its 2 different worlds stepping out of my girls tC and getting into my car. She got a brand new 07' tC back in July, and after being in my car, she already wants to get a new car that spoiled brat
She better start begging to daddy cause I aint gettin her nuthin
