Time Estimate

I'm not for knowing what 1/8 mile #'s mean, so anyone care to help out here?

My friend ran a 9.1 @ 76 I believe it was, just wondering approx. what that would translate to in the quarter...

Btw, it's a 97 M6 Z...

Roughly a 14.2 in the 1/4.

1/8m time * 1.56 = 1/4m time.

That gives an amazingly accurate estimate.

Close, but it seems to be a little slow

Well he's pretty new to his car so I'm sure he can do better than that, and it's bone stock right down to the paper filter and rectangular exhaust tips.
He was thinking more like 13s, but I guess I'll have to tell him he'll need to work some more on his launch...
