Calculate your 0-60 times...Cool

Don't know how accurate this is, but you can calculate your 0-60 time by using your 1/8 mile times + speed. Using my best time from last Friday it puts my 0-60 at 5.49 sec... Not too bad! I'm curious to see what Rolling_Trip and Ped's time would be with a 13.2 quarter mile. Not sure how to add links so you'll just have to copy and paste the URL(unless a mod wants to fix it for me...)

4.5 for me, 8.4@82

 

3.36 here per el calc.

 

:bowdown: :bowdown:

 

Sweet times guys, I wonder how accurate it is? It said there may be variations due to AWD and also the calc is assuming your powerband is linear(which most aren't)... Maybe some of you math genius's(Milo...) could attest to accuracy....

 

i just need a passenger with a stop watch, that has no fear of running red lights

 

well i'm sure i could get some nice times, but the fact remains i suck at launching my car. maybe Doug can give me some lessons

 

1/8th mile estimates would be more accurate than 1/4 mile estimates... but still i believe gear ratios will affect it some... obviously, the closer ur trap speed is to 60mph, the more accurate the rusults will be

 

5.25sec here. Not bad for an auto, The DP goes on soon so maybe I can get it down a litlle more.

 

you can count me out..been there done that :hsnono:

 

added weight will just slow u down... u need one of those g-tech pros

 

actually i have one, it told me i had 340whp, when i was stock.:rofl:

 

Hey, I put together a spreadsheet similar to this a while back, using regression analysis on the data points for 330, 660, 1000 and 1320 times/speed. As far as I remember, it agreed fairly well with g-tech timed 0-60 runs.

 

Moose, now thats using ur noggin! You need to post your scientific method to see if it jives with the link I posted.... I would think the more variables you enter, the more accurate it would be...

 

I don't have Excel on my home PC, but I can take a stab at it when I'm back at work next week. I just have to remember how to do regression analysis in it... essentially, you use the data points to create a curve that would fit them, then interpolate/extrapolate data for particular points. So you'd have a 0-15 second (or whatever) curve that fits your points and just read the time (X axis) where the speed (Y axis) equals 60.

 

It came up with 3.58 for me. 3.58 seems highly unlikely though. 3.59 is much more resonable for my set up.

 

put a digital camera/camcorder on your speedo and let er rip


on a closed course of course, or the interstate...

 

3.59-3.62 seems to fast. I only run the 1/8th in 7.9-8.0 at 89 MPH. Well, it was that fast before I lost compression on a cylinder but that will be fixed soon.

 

I'd be a high-stall TC would cut that down by half a sec. Makes launching so much better.
