Like what a difference 12.7 at 111 is to a 12.3 at 115 car.

Or your incredulous notion weather could increase a run by tenths and even gain you (in this case) 1-3 MPH. Lol.

And my trap speed is worse because my 0-60 is sub 4 seconds?! A) trap speed and ET sand not associated that way - one is time and the other is speed.

B) Stop writing: you don't know what you are talking about. You are outside your depth. It is making you look really silly.

It's not my notion, somebody else suggested it and you agreed with it. I think it's pretty negligible in reality. So we are now agreed to my point all along?

But yes, given how quick that car is to 60mph, then I don't think your trap speed at the end is all that high. On the day I did my runs the RWD E90 M3's were about a second slower to 60mph than your car and taking 13 seconds or so. However their trap speeds were in the region of 120mph. If the runs had been much longer then I would have been demolished soon after.

I know enough to understand the relationship between the traction in the start phase, the real acceleration once you get going, how it effects the elapsed time, and how the trap speed gives you an indication of what a car is doing to post it's performance.

And you haven't explained anything, you've just talked like you think you know better. Maybe you do, but it isn't coming across.
