[QUOTE="fctrywrkr, post: 13301225, member: 147881"] this subject confuses me. too many variables to say that. but given equal cars and equal RTs, then yea. however, trap speed is an indicator of HP, if you are spinning you are losing distance in which to gain speed and you have limited distance (1320ft). tires are not like a rubberband ur just not going to pick up tons of mph by spinning then hooking and jolting forward, physics says otherwise. if said car cuts a 2.4 sixty and runs 11.0, then put slicks on and cuts a 1.5, chances are he will be running a low 10 and have a similar trap as he did with the 2.4, if not a little better. i dont see how wheel spin = higher trap. if you're going 20mph and ur spinning the tires at point A, and a car is going 20mph at point A and hooking up... how the hell do you reach point B at a faster mph when you are spinning b/c you are obviously arent getting to 30mph, 40mph, etc faster than the car hooking up? :eek: people said for years that leaving your tailgate down netted better mpg, which has been proven false as well. send it to myth busters, i just cant seem to grasp my head around it. not saying it isn't possible, it just doesnt seem very probable. i dont see how 12s or 9s would make a difference. if spinning = higher traps, itll = higher traps regardless. if you're spinning, you're not bogging, so you are still propelling forward, albiet slowly, still forward, unlike bogging. so thats the only reason i have to it :bash: [/QUOTE]
