You guys can delete this if this has already been posted but i would be curious to have a sticky thread as to the top 5 1/4 times

top 5 supercharged cars

top 5 twin charged

top 5 nitrous


i would be really curious to see peoples best times for these and what they are using... i guess for spillman we could have him post his 1/8 mile times since that seems to be the only tracks he has around him...

 

Whats wrong with this list?

The 60 ft times on this chart are horrible. I am not a professional myself, but I used to clock 1.85 60ft times allday with my old mustang. Radial tires. I believe anything above a 2.2 60ft requires much practice. Every .1 sec from 60ft is equal to .2 sec from the 1/4. You can imagine the E.T. improvements that can be made from that list.

 

Your complaining about the entries in the list. Thats not what I Asked. Its a compiled list of times ... whats wrong with just adding to the list (whether or not you like the times)? It exists and appears up to date.

 

Low 60' times are much easier to achieve in a RWD vs. a FWD car due to weight transfer. 2.2 on street tires are damn good for FWD.

 

Hey MINIAACK,

Your Mini looks like it is set-up very nice.
Please go show us how it's done.

 

Many a driver of <insert name of previous car owned here> has bought a MINI and expressed amazement at how poor the MINI drivers must be to get such poor 60-ft times (myself included, I admit). Then said new owner takes his/her MINI to the track and discovers that 1.85 s 60-ft times are just a teensy bit hard to accomplish.

 

i'm sure 1.85's in a mini are, but i can run a 2 flat in a damn cooper tho!

 

Timeslip?

 

Andy remember MC = lighter, Lower first gear, Normally alot easier not to break tracktion. so can be launched harder. VS 04 and older MCS(havent driven the 05 with new gear box). So a 2 flat 0-60 is possible.. oh btw i was able to Pull a sub 2 in my 03 MCS with a borrowed set of Drag slicks and a few other changes (lsd wheelie bar and and springs).. but dont want to produce a timeslip simply cause i snaped an axle on the same run. and locked up the front right after coming off the concrete.

 

whoops... my apologies... i have not seen that before... that'll work... it would be nice if we had something on these boards that everyone could see... but... this will work too! Thanks

 

another nice addition to that chart would be what tires people used... but other than that... that is a pretty nice site!
