z28 traps higher.....z28 1st run: 7.9 @ 91mph w a 2.0 60'
mach : 7.70 @ 87mph no nitrous
2nd run ....... z28 8.0 @ 91.9mph
mach 7.80 @ 96mph w nitrous
I see your point..but I find it hard to believe. For two reasons.......how do we not know if that Z has C/H or not? fbods are known to pull in third gear, and have bad 1-2 and 60' (in comparison). #2, that Z had at least DRs.....NO car is going to swap out the rear rims for some nasty ugly POS rims and run street tires.....if you look close, those are no nothing rims......I am sure he put those on to run DRs.
Like I said, I see what you are saying, but in your example, it isn't a bright red apples to apples comparison.......it is a driver's race in the 1/4. From a roll, more times than not, it will be th fbod. These cars are too close to tell.
