    @discontinuuity is happy that everything has been set right in the Jalopverse. Now all we need is more of engineerd's Brefas Scotch!: Dubbing in another language is the worst thing that's ever happened to visual entertainment.

    @vwminispeedster, pronounded Si-trow-in: True, but it's still too many steps... it should be something really simple, like this...

    drag races are won and lost by ten-thousandths of a second, so to be a prick and a stickler....a "prickler", no. that's "not as close to perfect as you can possibly get". i cut a .0001 reaction time once. that was PRETTY close, but the more decimal places you add...

    @buckyworld: prick. stickler.

    And reaction times aren't as important as consistency, so you're just bragging.

    @Ben Wojdyla: wrong: reaction times DO count. when i tell you that i'm certain because i'm the 2007 state champion m/c racer, THEN i'm just bragging.

    Question: Those images are not very illustrative of the process or results.

    More to the point, I can't print them and take them into the mens room.

    @Qutaiba_ELLEEL: A mid-engine, awd setup will win drag races at the cost of transmissions.

    @Qutaiba_ELLEEL: So you're complaining about how the ZR1 ties the Gallardo to 60 for half the price? Not only that but the Vette's not going to set itself on fire for fun.

    @Qutaiba_ELLEEL: In other words, the most expensive Corvette is slower than the Cheapest Bugatti/Pagani/Gumpert to 60, top speed, etc. etc.

    Apples-to-oranges, with the oranges costing like, a lot more.
