i hoped to have an interesting and technical conversation with someone, but it seems you were the wrong individual. at first i would've liked to know about your technical and/or engineering background, if any, but this was before you started to make shallow, childish and, in the end, offensive comments.

he's right so far as i can see though.
going by your argument, you could say GM's LS7 is pushing engine technology foward because they made it all lighter and more fuel efficient.
never mind those are metallurgical advances

i don't know the source but if this test was made on a 1/4 mile race track, the time is surely affected by the tires deposited on the track surface.
