Not at all, I'm saying it would get to 124mph a lot quicker, but that would happen roughly 0.9sec before the finish line so the car would have to be accelerating for longer before it reaches the quarter mile line and therefor be going faster.
As a result of crossing the line at a faster speed, the quarter mile time is going to be quicker...
