Again, you're statement was that a 15sec FWD street car/non turbo, should be a 8.3sec 1/8th mile car. While I can't show a FWD street car that runs 8.3 1/8th's, I can show plenty of them that run 15sec 1/4's...feel free to look at nearly any of them. RSX-S, Toyota Celica GT-S, let's dip a little lower...Chevy Cobalt SS(even FI'd!). All 3 of those cars run 14.5-15.5. None of them run anywhere CLOSE to 8.3sec 1/8th mile. So pls, back up your so called 'a 8.3sec 1/8th mile car only runs 15sec 1/4 miles' because by what I see, it seems every 15sec 1/4 mile runs 9+ 1/8th's. Has anyone in this thread agreed with your logic of ET's? Anyways, how do mod's change the fact that a 8.3sec 1/8th doesn't = 15?

and this....'Your last post: Stock FWD's (I assume this 06 eclipse included) can't even be expected to do the said 8.3 1/8mi, let alone anything lower than 15's.' Are you just mis-reading the post and don't understand basic English? I've said an 06 Eclipse will not cut 8.3 1/8th miles. A FWD car that can cut an 8.3 1/8th is going to run a low 13 at worst. More likely, it'll be in the mid-upper 12's. A 15sec car will cut 9.5+ in the 1/8th more than likely.

Then you added in the weight and said they would run 14s at best. Where are you getting this math?

I guess I apologize for not having any slips in my computer, just not a big deal to me...but with St2/exhaust(dyno'd 245whp/270wtq w/ an 9:1 a/f ratio), I was running 8.9-9.2@82mph in the 1/8th with 2.2-2.3 60ft's at Hartford. Hopefully I can goto VMP this weekend or next, and shoot for 120mph traps

Have fun shooting your traps and foregoing the slips. And if you absolutely HAVE to have the last word...have at it.

Who am I to argue with therapy?

the whole slip:

60: 1.92
1/8 et: 8.97
1/8 mph: 76.66
1/4 et: 14.125
1/4 mph: 95.22

all these cars are different, some are going to lay down and some are going to pick up at different parts of the track depending on weather, driver, all that crap.

as you can see my car happens to run a decent 1/8th but not much of a back half, probably because i have to wind out 4th so long. i bought most of that et with 60' and 1/8th.

with a tune i would probably trap higher, but nothing above 100 mph. i'm looking at a max of 225 rw untuned, 235-240 tuned. in the 1/8ths that ritz and i posted we might have been damn near even, but i promise you that he would crack my ass once we got to the back half.

ritz, you gotta launch that bia.
