i thought it would pull a faster time than 14.84 seconds...

bartc_jSep 15, 2008, 9:40 pm · #4

what was the 60ft time

got to think traction is your worst enemy

Yeah...? Bart was faster and that was with a CA18ET and T25.

bartc_jwhat was the 60ft time

I think you're on to something there.

ya a 3+ second 60ft would put the car in 12's easily

huh? Are you saying that if he ran that with a 3+ second 60' that the car is capable of 12's? General rule of thumb is that every .1 second off your 60' is going to net you .15 in the ET. So 12's is probably pretty generous.

I would be more interested to see him dyno the car and get some power figures. Driver skill is entirely different from car potential. I want to see what his car is capable of.

Slow for having an rb20 in there, but at least he had fun I hope.

Asking what the MPH was is probably a good question to ask. Good indication of power regardless of ET/60'(factors in slightly). If it was a somewhat normal 60' I would expect the trap speed to be somewhere around 90-95mph for that ET.

not a bad looking s12 good shit.

Doesn't elevation have something to do with it I know guys out here that have run 14's and 13's but in cali they run 12's and 11's

8) xano, you are wrong because the faster cars in the country are in 7.44 sec. unfortunately is not a nissan ..

recently arrived in the country a GT-R R35 and had a time of 11.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile, and one GT-R R34 nismo have a time of 11.85 seg in the 1/4 mile.

Yeah, I would think so too....I pulled a 14.7 with my old ca18et @ 160 whp

8)I was chatting with my friend, in relation to the times of your car, but he said that his vehicle is in the 13.424 seg in the 1/4 mile, 2.02 in 60ft.

Several problems with the vehicle the day of the race and for that reason did this time.(14.85seg.)

These are vehicles that previously mentioned

+1.. MPH is a better way to judge how much power a car has rather than e.t.

Haha. Talk about reviving and old thread Gus. I don't know why there is so much argument over one guys 1/4 mile time. 1/4 mile times can vary greatly based on a variety of factors.

It was at the top of the page.. I wasnt really arguing, just stating something about a way to check the power a vehicle might have.. I honestly dont care what he ran..
