3.5 second 0-60mph??? Seriously? I didn't think this was in the realm of possible. Makes me feel funny all over.

For kicks and giggles, I plugged my best naturally aspirated 1/8 mile pass into the Wallace Racing Calculator, and it calculated 4.71 0-60. I am happy with that.

I'm pretty much traction limited to around 3.5ish 0-60 with nitto 245/50/16 drag radials on the street surface I test at. Hopefully I can get to a prepped track in the near future to improve on that. |
Watch out for your diff on prepped surfaces. Not sure what rear end you're running but my OEM Torsen exploded on my 4th-ever run on our local drag strip.

I went to the 1/8th mile dragstrip and made a couple runs last night. Got some dragy data on one run for the 1/8th mile time which was corroborated by the timeslip so this proves accuracy of the dragy.
I am posting the track slip along with dragy data. These were all on same pass. The 0-60 on this run was 2.98 seconds and 2.76 seconds factoring in 1 ft rollout as do magazines and manufactures when these report data. More info on the car is posted in my rapid spool with compressed air thread. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b06449d445.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...dc6ca366d6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...646f3a199e.jpg Also recorded a 0-100mph time on this pass https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...473cd54a25.jpg |
I recently came across a database that Greg Peters of the car passion channel is putting together. Some of you guys may want to post up your times on his database to help get the ball rolling. I sent him a 1/8th mile timeslip which he will post on his next update. He has spots for several various performance metrics.

Jesus Newaza, sub 3.0 second 0-60 bananas. What kind of tires/suspension are you using?
I watched Greg's latest video and his 0-60 (3.7sec) is nothing to scoff at. Anything that beats my childhood dream car (Lambo Countach) is amazeballs in my book. |

Our cars are so similar in times and 0-60. I ran a 6.93 in the 1/8th and 0-60 in 2.99 seconds, you ran 6.91 and 2.98. Almost identical!
Yeah we are right there with each other. However you have a LOT more headroom in the 60' potential over me with your transbrake and upgraded rear. If you can ever get back to the track to start playing with real drag slicks and big boost off the line I would expect some really hard launches out of that thing. My only potential advantage over you might be in trap speed if all else is equal since I can lock my converter up top for a little more driveline efficiency, but it will not be enough to overcome your potential launch advantage in the effect it will have on elapsed time. |
I went to test and tune at 1/8th mile track last night to test some recent changes to car. Got a new best time of 6.64 in the eigth. I also had the dragy on this pass to record some data. It recorded a 0-60mph time of 2.63 seconds without rollout and 2.43 with rollout. There are a couple dips in the track which dragy interprets as a downslope so it wouldnt validate. However the dragy data agreed very precisely with the track timeslip so I figure the 0-60 time is accurate as well.

New best 0-60! the dragy didnt validate as it interprets a dip in the track as downslope. However I feel its accurate as the dragy recorded a 6.56 at 105mph 1/8th mile while the timeslip from the track recorded a 6.57 at 105, so the 0-60 should be spot on as well.

Here is my best 0-60 via dragy which is not very accurate in my experience and my best 60' via timeslip.

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1b6d5d49c9.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...08a314b552.jpg When I use the dragy at the track it is always, and I mean always within a tenth and 1 mph of the timeslip, and usually even closer than that. I would call that pretty darn accurate. It's been pretty thoroughly tested by many others in the drag racing world and found to be about as accurate of a on board measurement device as can be had for the cost. It's actually the go to time measurement device these days for no prep guys where timeslips are not reported. No prep races are getting to be pretty big money now so if those guys are using it for data and calling it good, that would be good enough for me. Like spartan, I too would like to know what experience you have that disproves the accuracy of the dragy? |
here is a quick video of a no prep guy testing the dragy backing up what most people are claiming.

I run M&H slicks. Here is a pass I made and the dragy of the same pass, maybe I just expect the dragy to be closer to actual.
