      went to the drag strip...

      decided to drag my aveo for ****s & giggles and figured I would share the stats. it was an 1/8th mile strip
      reaction time- .360 sec -not bad for my second time out, I think(?)
      0-60 9.8 sec
      660ft-11.0 sec
      trap speed-66mph
      I was quite a bit faster than the mazda3 I raced who posted a 12.6 time

      lets see if this work. Buddy took a video of my run yesterday...
      12.1sec
      Lined up to race a grand prix thinking it was a normal grand prix and then he tells me its supercharged
      Not bad IMO for a supercharged 3.8 V6 vs a 1.6 I4
      I had him for about 80ft off the line

      Cant see the vid. Two reasons why it didnt work either it didnt copy right or you went so damn fast that the goverment took this video down to study how this car was made.

      you do realize less tread is better for drag racing right?
