The cost to shave .9 of your time will cost big dollars the lower your times get. Why not quote your true time, like we expect the Ford & Holden manufacturers to do. There has been two full threads about the VF SS & GTS stated times, with people on here screaming about .2

Yes, your 12.9 second car is a 12 second car, but lets see the full time - 12.9

At least I have a 12 second car

Every other publication give us complete times.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador 10.4 sec @ 136 mph (219 km/h)
2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S 10.7 sec @ 128.9 mph (207.4 km/h)
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat 10.8 sec @ 126.4 mph (203.4 km/h) NHRA certified: 10.8 / 126.3 achieved with street legal radials; 11.2 / 125.4 with unmodified factory tires
2012 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo 10.9 sec @ 140 mph (230 km/h)
2010 Ferrari 458 Italia 10.9 sec @ 131.7 mph (212.0 km/h)
2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Super Veloce 10.9 sec @ 129.4 mph (208.2 km/h)
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat 11.0 sec @ 125.2 mph (201.5 km/h)

In that list there are 7, 10 second cars and 1, 11. Whats the problem?

I wanted to get the Landau into 10 seconds (anything) as there had never been a Landau get in that bracket as far as anyone knew. Took a while, lots of going back and forth, just a little bit of money & R/D but eventually it happened. I would have been content with 10.99 as then it would be a 10 second car.

Yes, everyone knows that a 10.01 car is a lot faster than a 10.99 car and the amount of effort to get there for the identical car is significant but the classification is both are 10 second cars. That is all.

In the context of a discussion on who is faster, then the 'point something' will come into effect ........ but they are still 10 second cars.

Calder will not let 10 second cars run if they do not have roll bars etc BUT you can run 11.00 everyday. Hit 10.99 and its a case of come back when you follow these rules.
