Looking for some numbers. What is a good guide to get me into that 12.99 I so desperatly seek?

60 Foot?

1/8 mile?


1/4 Mile Trap Speed?

I was thinking a 1.9 60 Foot with a trap speed over 105MPH? Is that about right?

 

Well thats a hard question to answer, you have an A4 or M6 car?? Is it stock or modded? An 8.301/8 mile 104 or so trap will give a 12.99.

I am close myself, see sig. I would need to pull
a 1.83 in the 60 to get into the 12's with a 104
trap speed. Your first estimate is very close;
1.9's 60 ft with 105 trap.
The trap speed in my case is with a manual tranny.

 

For what it's worth ... i ran 13.3 @ 104.75 w/ 2.0 60' time

 

I'd say you wouldn't necessarilly need a 1.90 60' for a 12 second pass, but it would help, I think w/higher MPH it's safe to say 105-106 is the norm for a 13-flat to a 12.85. There's always exceptions though. For the 1/8th, probably 8.25-8.35, traction off the line being the big factor.

 

i ran 13.1 at 100.99 my 60" was a 1.7

 

My #'s are in the sig

 

I've run 12s with 2.1 60ft times. It all depends on how much power and traction you have. An 800hp Camaro can run 12s with a 3.0 60ft

 

I've run a 12.93 @ only 102.5 mph but that was into a strong headwind on a 1.68 60 foot. If you can hit 103.5 mph with a high stall torque converter and E/T streets I'd say you could get a 12.99. Keep in mind you'll lose mph with the installation of a high stall torque converter and slicks so your car will probably be need to be pulling 105 mph trap speeds before the install.

 

Well I just got into the 12s. My time is in the sig, I definetly think I have a high mph for the et though....

 

Hmmm looks like i might need to trap 115mph to make it into the 12's lol.

 

Do you have an LT1 engine under your hood or a Supra engine? No disrespect intended. A while back I raced an LS1 SS Camaro that was running 12.9s at 114-115mph with about 2.1 60ft times. Is ET vs MPH affected by track elevation and ambient temp?

 

i wanna hit 12.9 too =)
