Using my old S15 as an example it was 1,250kg +100kg for me = 2,976lb

Power was 200rwkw = 268rwhp

Calc comes up with 12.99, which was what it did on a regular basis .... but I once got it down to 12.74 with good tyres and an awesome launch.

But that calc comes up with 12.6 for an R33 with 100kg driver at 240rwkw, which is a bit optimistic imho unless you had massively sticky tyres and the launch of a lifetime. I reckon a flat 13 is par for the course for a 240rwkw R33 with decent tyres and a decent driver.

cheers guys very helpful

i can only imagine seeing or being in a car that goes down the 1/4 mile twice as fast as a standard skyline, fark.

[SLED]

Jet, you also have to factor in gearing and traction as well between your example and Andrew's S15

[MattR]

on sunrise this morning.

atleast not a skyline and no mention af it which was good

[Madaz]

na if it was a skyline it would of had all of today tonight's 30 mins covering it and they would be pulling over every skyline till they found them

[MattR]

was a commondore. will just go un noticed since it is one of them.

[SLED]

I really hope they catch these morons and throw the book at them.

For those of you with kids out there, imagine if you had pulled over ahead of them and one of your kids opened the door at the wrong time...........I know I'd be up on charges of manslaughter

[Madaz]

^^ probably not as when you have adrenalin and shock running through your body your not always in control of your actions and that is actually a defense

Interesting app,

It says 14.46 for my car using the cars weight (1320kg), the extra 45kg for the R33 box and the XXXkg for myself lol. Also using the figure I got from Willall Saturday (cough 156.2rwkw cough)

[Nightcrawler]

I don't think that is right Dion - it seems to get less accurate the higher weight the car is. There are heaps of online drag calcs, go Google some - they came up with times between 14 seconds and 13 seconds flat for my V35 depending on which one you believe. I believe it would be dead inbetween the two, personally

[LTM]

and this is why we need a drag strip.

Online calculators mean bugger all. Depends on so many things like gearing, tyres etc etc.

I've seen cars with around 320rwkw run 10's then cars with 500rwkw run 11's. All depends on grip and getting the car out of "the hole".

[MattR]

and andrew hs the reaction time of a dead sloth:) so he is stuffed there

[SLED]

gearing & traction will affect times...........a good holeshot (reaction time) will only affect a win or lose situation.....not times

[ontheranch]

I've been taken off the members subforum so I cant see if any responded to my post yesterday! So im not being rude if I dont respond!...

[SLED]

I'll speak to Roo & Andrew

[Madaz]

Oh, your membership lapsed there was a couple of replies

[ontheranch]

I thought that might be the case.... >.<
