I think he means me. I didn't like the answer because it just used the old "100#=.1 second" formula that's been around since I was driving a 16-second car. It's a gross over-simplification and we might have real world results soon, so why bother with crude estimates? I just looked it up: alcohol funny cars (not Pontiac-powered, of course) have run at least as quick as 5.41 with some very restrictive rules.


Looking forward to a new quick Pontiac-powered car.
