So I went to the local 1/8 mile track Sunday just to see what she would do.
Stock Paxton kit with 345/25/R20 P Zero on the back. I could not get her in the 7's. it was 8.0's all day. Like my 60 foot? What do you think she would do with DR's on?
60-----2.102
660----5.374
MPH---92.59
1320--8.006

It'd have to do more. Those times are slower than my 11.8 GTS's 1/8 figures as it went a full 1/4.

- The timing system for the 1/8 must be weird, because 660' IS an 1/8 mile, 1320 the quarter. I've never run an 1/8 track so I'm not familiar with 1/8 mile timing procedures

Ya, it's just the way the slip is. You would think that it would be faster but first is useless and I have to shift in to third right before I hit the trap. I think the 660 number on the slip is 330'
I take it that she is more of a 1/4 mile ride.
I know that she is faster than the 1/4 mile time I get if I do the conversion from the 1/8. I have ran low 11 sec cars on the street and didn't have that much problem showing them my tail lights.
What do you think?
