Opticon VS Eric.Smit

[Opticon]

In the left corner weighing in at 270 lbs and driving a full weight sedan with only a Trifecta Tune is OPTICON!

In the right corner weighing in at... a far more reasonable weight for an adult male and driving a hatchback with an intake, exhaust, and a tune is ERIC.SMIT!

FIGHT!

I tried to approve your video on my comment thread, but I couldn't do it on my phone. let me watch this video now.

That website is way cool. I'm assuming on a computer they play side by side? I can only open one at a time on my phone. :O

[Opticon]

Correct. And I synched the launch. The strangest part is that in raw form our videos from start to launch are less than 1 second apart... Like we were at the line together.

 

[Eric Smit]

One of us just got a bad jump. ;P

Having my ABS fuse out helped my a ton. My traction control used to step in even when fully disabled. Now I can let the clutch fly between 1st and 2nd with nothing more than a squeal and a forward pull.

I didn't even use the Trifecta NLS function. The car will certainly put ANY similarly priced econocar to shame.

Wow, those Sonics are really pushed!

Opticon won by approximately 1 second on the 0-60and 0-80

 

[Eric Smit]

Woo!

[BNRacing]

You guys no-lift-shifting? It sounds like both are

 

[Eric Smit]

Not first to second.


-Eric Smit

 

[Opticon]

I did not. I have tried NLS (and it works great) but it is very unintuitive for me to keep my right foot down while shifting, so I usually forget about the function entirely.

...It's just that I've been down a few drag strips in cars with semi-truck clutches and mile-long shifter throws.

Fun stuff, surprised Opticon got the "win" considering the mod list. Where is Opticon located? Wondering if location/climate has any affect, I know my altitude kills my performance.
