Hmm. I'm trying to get my girlfriend to try racing my car sometime soon. She has expressed more interest than I thought she would.

I just wanted to make sure we wouldn't get embarrased if we ran it.

Well, just doing the math (1/8 mile time x 1.5) I come up with 12.6 or so.

That formula seems to be somewhat accurate. Best 1/8 is 8.02 @ 88...

I know 8.02 x 1.5 doesnt equal 12.6, it equals 12.4, but I'm being conservative.

Nice.

What kind of 60 foot do you pull? How hard do you actually launch?

1.75-1.8 usually. I launch with launch control (basically a two-step) at 5500 rpm.

Yes, I am saving up now to put stronger gears in the transmission....
