word is there is a coupon code for $54k list price on the RE
If OP pulled off that pricing it’s a crazy good deal. I haven’t seen anything that low, then again I don’t actively look as I’m not super pressed for a weekend toy just yet.

Atco had -1440 DA at 10pm , -1340 DA at 9pm on November 1st
The DA logic is, at best, fuzzy math. The calculations are just educated guesses and from talking to several experienced racers at the track, not all the accurate. A different phone app, that we ran at the track in real time, was showing -400's about an hour before I made that run. Any further analysis beyond that it was "good air" is questionable. my .02 is that these DA discussions are lame. You guys need to get off your sofas and desk chairs and get to the track. ;)
A few of you keep saying that we are "bench racing" - and many of you in the theoretical with the "this makes sense to me" logic, ARE. But the guys running at Atco and other fast local tracks are actually Drag Racing in the real world. Those are the results that actually matter.

My gut tells me that your calculation of OTD price of $58k involves some fuzzy math. Perhaps it is DA adjusted as well?

what is this argument even about anymore?

Couple of them actually.

A hero run Redeye that is claiming to be faster than a GT500. The redeye is claimed to be "stock" and was ran in negative DA.

The other argument is getting a Redeye for 53K, or, 58K OTD which is grossly unheard of.

Otherwise, that's about it.

I've got more 1/4 mile passes then you have hair on your head. I raced my cars in any weather from 30-100*F so I know how big of an impact DA has on cars .Go to Denver when DA is 6-7000 and make few passes , you should be able to click of 10.2-10.3s out there too since DA has very small impact on cars

You can argue DA but the reality is Atco is probably a solid 2 tenths faster in the conditions you ran than most other tracks. I’m on the way to Mod Nats at SGMP and we expect to gain 2 tenths compared to our local Ohio/Michigan tracks. Great track and great air does make a difference.
Can’t wait to see a DR only GT500 at Atco!
