Default 0-60 estimator from 1/4 mile

Right guys...

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

What does that say you do a 0-60 in?!

Also if you got a real 0-60 measurement stick that down as well... I'd love to know if its anywhere near accurate in real life!

I got a 14.69 @ 91

so to use that I need an 1/8 which was:

9.377 @ 75.52 mph



so I get a cracking 5.92 0-60mph time

I tried a couple of results - one of my very first 21T which completely bog standard 175bhp :-

1/8 ET - 10.377 @ 72.46MPH (15.8 1/4mile) - which came out with 7.12secs 0-60

Then my red 1 from about 1 1/2 years ago running about 250bhp :-

1/8ET - 9.758 @ 78.53MPH (14.752 1/4mile) - which came out at 5.7secs 0-60.

Dont think they are a million miles off!!!!

I alway's keep rev's high and launch slipping the clutch, keeping it on the verge
of wheel spinning! slowly getting better at it but have killed a couple off diff's

That's fair enough

I have welded one of my broken diff's up so it's locked solid so no more breaking
them
Bit of a pain on the road though
