Peter,
I wanted to see just how fast Paulie's car was, so I did 3 honks and waited for him to go. He got a big jump and then yes, was almost a full length up at 130.
If I was racing for money, I would hit it right at the 3rd honk. My car spools much faster and if we hit it at exactly the same time I would be out by 3/4 of a car by 70 and we would be pretty even at 130. I also would be running on a mix of 4 gallons of C16 to 1 pump, which Paulie cannot run in his car. When I got the call from Paulie I already had half a tank of pump in my car. I dumped in 50 of 109 and 5 of c16.
The true test will be Paulie's 60-130 in similar weather (mid 70's) to what I ran my 6.68. I predict a similar time for the Parasol if he drives it right.

I've graphed similar time differences at speed using the P-Box, with and without extra weight in the car(s). Weight definitely makes a difference at speed, it's just not as pronounced as it is from a dig.
Give it a try, Peter. Bring a full grown man with you in your IS-F during some 60-130 runs and I guarantee you'll be *at least* a half second slower 60-130. Probably more.

Hahahhahh, damn Sean, you know I'm just giving you grief brother...I like to see how worked up you get! 
Scott, if we're talking a 350 rwhp car, then yes, I hear you. I suppose I'm used to 800+ rwhp where a 200 lb. passenger from a 60 punch makes no difference. You are correct though, I'm simply saying that from a dig weight matters MUCH MUCH more than it does from a roll where aerodynamics and HP mean MUCH MUCH more.

Dennis,
You need to run that Z06 in a 60-130, it would do well.
Is the King Cobra the one with the Whipple sticking thru the hood? (7.05)
That 11.05 in a GT500 is embarrassing...
Nice runs in the Sarousch Ford GT and the Viper TT!
