I don't argue if you don't know how to launch this car then you will be with alot of E55 drivers and have over 600hp and never see 11's.
And Mrphotoman would call all of those "ricer excuses".
My best time in my Crossfire is a 12.7 @ 111 with a 2.2 60 ft.
When people ask me how fast the car is, I say, "12.7 @ 111 with a 2.2 60 ft."
People reply, "Wow. It's got a lot left in her. That's a low 12 with a decent launch."
I agree. The only thing keeping this car out of the mid to low 12's is MY dumb lead foot for the first 60ft. It's right there on the time slip "60' - - - 2.2". If that was 'how fast the car is', why would I keep going back each week to get that 60' down?
