all 3 yellow's simultaneously
.400 later it's green
....do you trigger the button?
When I see 3 yellows, I'm leaving....no time to invoke a delay.
You can't trigger off the stage light.....the 3 yellows aren't a consistent time after that.
I don't want an argument, I want an education.

Its because apples are being compared to oranges.
A light weight over tired under powered car is being compared to a heavier over powered under tired car.
You can cut good lights, but the car has to be set up to reflect the driver's reaction, its easier to do so when the car is going to stick no matter what do to an over tired under powered situation than a under tired over power situation where power management strategies comes into play.
If you are curious about your reaction versus the cars reaction, you could always log the tb button event and compare it to the start of the driveshaft sensor event, log the charge pressure as well and you can determine if its the tune up, driver, or trans/converter causing subpar reaction times.
Similar reason why fuel car drivers consider .060-080 ish lights to be "good", the are reacting far earlier than the car due to the power management settings for the first few hundred feet.
