I've completely lost faith in the drag race "numbers" generated by several different math methods.

My car to is consistently in the 9's. MAYBE, on a really GOOD day, with a perfect launch and slicks etc. I'd be into the 10's, but I doubt it!

667 horse, 2700 pound, 4 speed, 3:31 rear gear, 26.5" "Sticky" bias BIG letter Goodyears. 11.90 and 121.27 with a very modest 2 sec 60 ft time. I'm thinking at BEST I could reach high 10's. 9's aint gonna happen!

The drag race "math" must assume absolute perfect conditions, which aren't "real world".

EDIT (thanks Ron for clearing that up):
"My car to is consistently in the 9's." Using the MATH it is, fast as hell "bench racing" numbers! 11's in the real world.
