Brent, I think your car is extremly impressive and your driving skills are just as impressive. I am mearly saying when two cars line up and one goes 10.0 and one goes 9.5/8.5 whatever, I think most eyes are on the faster car. Even if there is more "technical" power being made from the 10.0 car.

Yes, a 9.33 or quicker would be considered a low 9 I think.
A 9.34 (on up to a 9.67) is a mid 9.

That is if the 9.5/8.5 actually makes a full pass.
