I know 0-60 is typically a very noobish thing to talk about, but with datalogging vss its pretty easy to get and its at least legal-ish under the right circumstances. I figured I'd post and see if anyone else wanted to share their resuts.
First run was less than ideal, bogged, spun, I think I can do .5 better at least so I'll do another when the opportunity presents itself.
Time: 661.100-656.166= 4.934
If anyone else feels like sharing post them up.
So, do you count launch as the lowest rpm in 1st?
I think I was close to 4.3-4.8 with a good 12 second pass.
My computer hasn't been on in a while, so I don't have a log to post, I got other priorities at the moment. Perhaps I can get under 4 seconds soon. I hope to come close to your ET and get ejected for no roll cage.
For the record, pdexta is one of my mentors, whether he knows or not. I will try to come up with some log pics soon.
Haha, thanks. I didn't really expect much interest in the thread, but figured I'd give it a shot. It anything it'll help me keep track of what times I'm getting.
I counted time from the last "0" mph reading to the first "60" mph reading. Obviously it can be screwed with to make it say anything but I think mine should be pretty accurate.
Finally got another chance today and got in a much better time. I'm hoping to get down into the 3's, but not sure if I can get there. It'd certainly help if I could get my boost controller working consistently.
For whatever reason I can't seem to log my VSS so I am basing it on 5100 rpm in 3rd. Which is my calcuated 60 mph speed???
It does look like you start between the 2 low rpm points after revving to launch. I think I counted between the last rev and 1st low rpm point.
Oh nevermind, I am gonna boot up my laptop.
Just went and looked at the most recent Pro Solo data I have. The car went 0 - 60 in 4.61 seconds.....But the slalom started 47.2mph. The car was pulling 1.36g turning left by 49.3mph and 1.47g turning right by 58.6mph. The 1-2 shift happened at 46.9mph and was on the initial turn in so it wasn't a fast shift.
Based off that information I am really curious what it would do 0-60 in just a straight line with no lazy shift. If just the shift on that run had been a "no lift shift" it would have taken .364 seconds off the 0-60 time.
I'm betting with dumping some rebound in the front and just going straight the car would go well under 4 seconds on A7s

Mid 4 second 0-60 through a slalom seems pretty impressive

This was a 12.8 @ 107 I think.
Niiice, man that's moving. I'm determined to get in the 3's now.
Made another pull this morning. I really need to find a nice calm place to do this instead of just random red lights on my drive to work.
It does help to have a sanctioned drag strip. I would get in trouble launching like that on my way to work.
4.111 is almost there.
My little 5 speed 4.3 rear combo is really pretty stinkin' quick out the hole. Especially for my tires (also aired down a ton) many muscle cars with drag radials can only get a tenth on my 60' time. Also, they spray coca cola on the track or something to make it stickier, plus I try to go behind someone with zero treadwear tires.
What I am getting at is that my car is slower on the street. On the street I can usually hear my tires squealing through the top of 1st and 2nd gear. On the track, when I do it right anyway, the thing just hooks up and goes.
I will try some logs from stop lights when my car is working again.

This is a pretty epic response. We can close this thread now...
I think this is my best 60' on the right, still looking though. I do consider anything under 2 seconds to be a good launch. I am usually right around 2, give or take a few hundredths.
For reference, we have gone 1.83 seconds to 60' on a virgin, unprepped surface while running 700lb/in rear springs
This is just INSANE!

This is the problem I had at a local track- zero prep, rocky as hell surface. I couldn't muster better than a 2.1 @60ft. but did eek out 8.0 @ 99 mph on the big end of the 1/8th mile.
Looking at PDEXTRA above- drag racing is strange.. you kill me at 60ft AND 1/8th, but my MPH was a bit higher and my time was slower. I know why, but its still strange kind of.
The more you spin the slower you run, the slower you run the higher you trap cause you have more time to build more speed.
On street tires or slicks?
On Hoosier A7s that actually launch worse than street tires due to the very stiff sidewall construction. (Not opinion, it's factual, been tested numerous times at drag strips all over the US.)
You don't say......Let's just compare 0-60 times with everyone on Goodyear D60A2s........who run's "All seasons" on a boosted Miata anyway? And if they do....they don't care about 0-60 times.
Probably depends on the surface. I spin "street tires" in 2nd at full boost, hoosiers don't spin. Hoosiers don't launch nearly as well though. They like to bounce and skip.
