well after watching it again....i guess the time isnt as bad as i thought. the si didnt get a great start off the line but if it did then im sure i wouldnt b saying what i said lol...

@xxartemis8xx The slow reaction time does not affect the elapsed time. The clock starts timing when the car crosses the start line, not when the light turns green.

In this case, the driver was more concerned about his elapsed time and didn't care about his reaction time. He could have sat there for minutes, and still run 12s. If this was a race, then he would have taken off when the light turned green.

@ajperformancecom gotcha. so then this run was just for numbers....not to cross the finish first...i think lol...

[ajperformancecom]

@xxartemis8xx Yes, strictly for the time. Quite often, a driver will let the other car go first during a practice run so as to concentrate better on his launch and shifting, without the distraction of the other car next to him.

Sort of like waiting for the bowler next to you to go first, if you do that sort of thing.

isnt this kinda slow for a turboed si? i figured a FI si would run quicker but maybe im just crazy...lol

@xxartemis8xx You can find out by searching YouTube for all of the videos of turboed K-Series Si's that run 12s. You'll find another one of our customers from Pittsburgh who hit 12.5 with only 420 whp at 10.5 psi.

Report back with what you find.
