Sport Truck magazine ran 15.6 and did 0-60 in 7.6 seconds with a stock 98 4x4
318
with manual transmission. Those guys at motortrend obviousl can't drive.
Those guys at motortrend probably don't load the axle before launch etc. A
second and a half difference is huge. There are also a number of other
factors that contribute to 1/4
mile times. You could run 15.7 with G-tech and then run 16.3 -16.5 at the
track.
Why doesn't motortrend list track conditions etc,reaction times, etc. Maybe
they're afraid of the world finding out they're not the 1/4 mile heroes that
they think they are?
The Motor Trend guys ran 13.6 or 13.7 recently with a brand new camaro ss.
The Car craft guys broke 12's (12.98)with essentially the same car. 6-7
tenths is a huge difference. I bet I coulda got that R/T in the 15's in the
American Muscle feature!!!!!!!
