Your trap speed tells a lot more about the cars potential, while ET is much more about the driver.

Your MPH seems low. Stock S5 cars generally pull mid 15's @ 90 mph or so. With your mods, you should at least be able to get that or a few mph higher. I would start looking for problems with your car that are robbing some power. Spark plugs/wires, oil change, change the tranny and diff fluid, check wheel bearings, etc. Clean the air filter if it needs it, etc.

The speed indicates that you should be making 15.850 so you really need to do better 60'.

Remember... Distance/Speed = Time so... 1,320/83.28 = 15.850 secs. More or less that should be it...

Unless he does have low compression, these times are horrible arent they? I thought that with his mods you could pull a mid 14. A lightly modded TII should pull a low 15 or high 14 right??

I was thinking the samething, those are more like N/A numbers (not even a highly modded one). I was wondering if anyone else noticed that his sig says it's an "88TII". Shouldn't he be doing much better than that, unless of course compression isn't that great (the tires don't sound that great either).

That would only work if the trap speed was his average speed. BUT trap speed is maximum speed at the end of the track. So its totally off.
