I'm pretty sure the only way to have test 2 cars in this fashion is to actually call up the Stig and have him drive both for time trials. Until then, the video means nothing.

If the car in back accelerated faster than the car in front, the car in front would have been rear-ended.
Good thing Bill's car was in front, I guess.

Idea for DCS 2012: drag-racing against Bill Robertson.

The video proves that Bill's car was accelerating faster than the Delorean behind it. Did you notice the driver zoomed in with the camera instead of speeding up to get closer?
The video doesn't prove that Bill's car is faster, it proves it was moving faster. There are various reasons as to why it was moving faster which could be anything from the driver or the car iteself.

Or both.
Does Bill's car + Bill driver = toasted stock DeLorean cheese?

What we need at DCS-12 is a dyno. But my priority is reliability and not increased power. Now if the changes increase MPH then I'm all for that.

Very true. You could have all the performance mods in the world and the car wouldn't go faster if the driver never pressed the gas pedal.
This is slightly off topic but have you ever noticed people in huge pickup trucks, SUVs, and even Hummers that slowly crawl over speed bumps? I have never understood that, expecially with Hummers. These people drive in freaking all terrain vehicles and are worried about some puny little bump messing up their Hummer! When I am in the Delorean I do slow down for speed bumps but when I am in the Geo Metro I show no mercy to speed bumps.
