My 02 camaro with a 5.7 had a 5.3 0-60 time with a 12.8 1/4 mile stock, with some mods it ran 4.8 0-60 with a 12.0 1/4 mile.

How are your 0-60 numbers so low unless you got some serious gears and tires on that thing
Maybe hes a better driver off the line. Just like faster MPH in the 1/4 doesnt necessarily mean faster ETs, faster 0-60 times also don't necessarily = faster ETs either.

Simple. His truck launches harder off the line than yours does. Your car probably spun a lot more. Then going down the track his truck has a lot more wind resistance so it starts slowing down whereas yours speeds up. So he launches off the line harder but you would reel him in going down the track.

Make sense?

My friends Chevy did something similiar. I can race him the street from a roll and our trucks are so close, he only barely pulls me. Race from a dig and he DESTROYS me. I ran a 16.0@86 he ran a 14.8@90. His trap speed isn't that much higher than mine so when we race on the street from a roll it only barely walks away but at the strip his truck launches like a **** where mine only just rolls off the line and then gets going.

Launch is a big factor.
