I need to see it more than once to believe it. And if it can Ill eat crow. I still measure a car by an average time.

Ergonomics, launch consistancy via consistant mechanicals, and normal conditions.

If that guy can do 12.6 ten times out of twenty, then I could see it. But I would consider it a mid to high 12 sec car if we had many people do the same thing. As much as I hate to say it, magazines usually have consistant times between one another and generally unbiased efforts and have been reflected by average joes on many forums it seems. Im dont look for the holy grail to hold up as a testiment to what my car can do. Try to think of a science project, the result is not acceptable or creditable unless its repeated with the same result time after time.
