so if you wanna open your mouth and play the 'nope, not a 12 second car' game, put your money where your mouth is smart ass. my $100 bill says the type r hits 12s next time at the track. what's it gonna be?
that's right. sit down.

According to my math, you should take a 1/4 mile in around 12.6-12.4. I am not a computer and don't have the math skills to do an exact pinpoint. But that is based on the fact that your response time is perfect, and that weather conditions are dry, the air is with very little humidity, and the tires are warm. And this being a good estimate. But if the car runs perfect, that's around what you should expect.

ive got some money, what do you say we have a run between my hatchback and your cobra?

15mph roll, i'll even give you the kick. what do you say?

see, and you tried to read and understand the posts, yet failed. In any of my post did I ever disagree with him stating he had a 12 second car..........??? hmm............nope. You can refrence back if you wish, I'd actually suggest it. He made a previous statement, I asked him about it. And we conversed, like normal people. So again, what relevance are you bringing forth?

um since when does a reaction time affect an ET in any way?
once again, go ahead and sit down.

Math is an exact science, if all possible variables are not accounted for, the solution will not be correct. That's basic.

do me a favor and please explain this.
here's what im getting.
assuming youve ran at the track before, you know how the lights work. you roll, trip the first light. creep up and trip the second yellow. then the tree starts. now, you could sit at that tree for 30 minutes and 45 seconds, launch the car, and run the same ET as you would if you launched it and hit a .001 reaction time.
so im asking you again, how does reaction time affect an ET?
and where are you getting these bs formulas? you dont know what trim the turbo he is using is, therefore you can not calculate the amount of airflow increase there is in 6psi. therefore you cant calculate the power increase. therefore you cant calculate the ET.

the amount of torque that has has built up the that time is different, than if you were to sit at the tree and launch from there. Plus the power increase can be obtained, by using the older whp ratio to a new one based on the same weight of the car with an decrease in elapsed time. r=t/d remember that? The rate of increase is a ratio that is comparable to the last rate of increase on the old time. Not too hard. The hard part would be calculating the exact horsepower at the end of his run.
Also, Dustins car as it sits right now on 6psi will not hit the same numbers as it did befor eon 6psi. Dustin lowered the compression, so I see a mid 12 best on radials at 12 psi tuned.
