1/4 Mile

I want to know what it feels like to do a less than 5 second 1/4 mile. 13's, 12's, 10's, 9's...don't get me wrong, I'd love to do that too. But imagine what it feels like to do 1/4 mile in mid 4's at 22_ mph....holy s***.




Sorry if that's obvious...but s***. It's amazing it happens.

I hear ya, I have often thought about how incredible that must be. It doesn't seem that anything should be able to go that fast.

A lot of those 4 second cars trap at 300+mph. By the time the rear wheels cross the starting line, you're already going 100+mph.

Haha, that's awesome. The funny thing is that there isn't any practical reason to go that fast, it's just really fun.
