You're a retard...

A. following distance is determined by time not feet...

If you're doing 120 100 feet CERTAINLY is not enough... hell even at 60 100ft isn't enough... it's a MINIMUM of 3 seconds.

B. Those distances INCREASE when it's wet or "oil soaked" out...

C. Telling people you went "just over 15" and not mentioning that this was you "counting in your head"... is about as dumb as you can make yourself sound.
1. a 15.01 and a 15.3 are TOTALLY different times in REAL 1/4 mi times...
2. A stop watch or your "sharp as a ball" mind are NOT accurate means of guaging your cars performance much less 1/4 mi. times.
3. I feel dumber having read 90% of what you have said.
