never been to a drag.

but I was just doing some math, in the quarter mile, a ten second run has an average of 90 miles an hour(give or take a bit).
you guys are quick, what is your 0 to sixty time?

 

trap speeds should be substantialy higher to run a 10 second quarter im no drag racing expert but thats kinda low

 

I must have calced wrong, doesn't seem possible to get an average speed of 90 in ten seconds. back to the thinking booth.

 

lol uh to run 10 sec u need to trap 120+

 

He's talking about AVERAGE speed... not final/trap speed!
keep in mind that you start at zero miles per hour...

 

oh i thought average as the average trap speed that people get in a 10 second run lol silly me

 

or, actually, now that I read it again, maybe he is talking about that? I don't know. Anyway, a 10 second run has to be pretty much 130+ trap. A few people have done like 124, 127... and 11s is generally 115+ trap. I'm talking up to 11.9. The 9 and 10 second cars are pretty much under 3 seconds 0-60...

For example, the AMS car basically goes 0-120 in 6 seconds over just 1/8th of a mile. That's crazy fast...

 

so three seconds to sixty, two more to ninety, so you could average 90 miles an hour.

just couldn't believe the math.

 

I believe most of these guys aren't feelin what your trying to say. The mental picture I draw when you talk about 90 mph average is....

Your sitting dead still, a car comes by you at 90 mph and you hammer as soon as it passes. You have to catch that car in exactly 1/4 mile. When you start thinking about it, it takes a DAMN fast car to achieve that. Our shop Evo can catch a car going by at 95.6 mph in exactly a 1/4 mile. Your typical stock Evo can only catch a car doing 65.2 mph. Your typical 17 sec. family car can only catch a car doing 52 mph.

Think about those numbers if you were a cop that wanted the perfect chase vehicle.

 

^hahaha so true...
a guy doing 160kmh passes you and you can catch him in a quarter mile...
amazing!
