    There are 2 calculators on that link. The first gets your DA, the second gives you NHRA corrected (to the NHRA "standard" track) time. In some cases it may go up, in others down.

    You can get a "corrected" ET. Not compare your car to another.
    There are factors that limit low ET's. Weather has a lot to do with it, as well as altitude.
    Owning a Honda would also limit a lower ET.
