I guess he means what it would trap in theory.

It's kinda like Back to the Future - brake stand until the speedo reads 88 mph and let off the brake.

funny i like that shit lol. lee i have trapped 127 before so i'm just going by the trap speed that others have with my mods as a reference of where i should be if this pos would run right for once.maybe one day my car will run right, when i put a ls7 in it.

it was 12.1 with wheelhop in 1st & sideways in 2nd on my drag radials. & i think a 2.0 60' brad & some other friends were there when i ran that. once my car hooks it pulls really hard but it don't hook to good with these drag radials.

Once you hook, you are probably going to see that 127 mph you have trapped drop.

Well, I uhhh...

Can someone explain this??? I have heard it before (higher mph theory due to tire-spin) but it just physically does not add up.
I think it is a misconception due to other factors myself. My car trapped more mph with the better 60' time.

Maybe this discussion would need another thread.

Mine will usually trap about the same, maybe 1-2 mph off, but never higher?
