Maybe some were "powerbraking" too hard. Even bone stock converters will have a little bit of flash at start unless you cram it past the point it will still flash.

Still a wide range of ET's for those cars. Probably is very hard to launch a street car on a .400 pro tree anyway.

What puzzles me is the e.t. difference from all of those "identical" 4 door family cars.

I could understand a 5 to 8 tenths spread due to production variances and also whether or not the driver power braked the convertor all the way at the line.

But there was over a 2 second spread in e.t. between those cars.
More telling is the mph spread.

If I was one of the drivers and power braked the heck out of it at the line and the best it could run was 17's and others were running mid 14's, I would be ticked.
