Interesting. I assume this is calculated assuming a steady linear accelleration?

Car weight: 3300
Wheel horsepower: 300

1/4 Mile elapsed time = 12.95

There are several online acceleration time calculators like this one, giving 1/4-mile times and/or trap speeds. They are based entirely on empirical mathematical "curve fitting" to actual data from a variety of vehicles. In general acceleration capability over a 1/4 mile correlates pretty well with weight to horsepower ratio.

yea, 3300 with fluids, driver, etc.
I saw one site that took gear raitos into account also.
Yes, this shows, again, that our cars are not built for the 1/4
The power to weight is there, just that off the line part that sucks

yeah but with enough clutch slippage I don't see how it can't be done.... I think that most of us do not look forward to a clutch job however =X
I haven't seen very many people with drag radials or slicks on this site doing the 1/4 mile though either.

I think if a 951 ran with some drag radials or slicks the CV's would be shot the first launch ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
If not, then it would be a really fast run indeed.
Would LOVE to see a pic or video of a 951 launching and the front coming off the ground some

Because they are a good weak link. Buy the GNK ones, enjoy paying 6k + for a good built trans and then enjoy glazing your clutch. Of all the weak links, they are the best, easiest to replace, and cheapest one.

I pulled a 2.06 sec 60’ on 225s with my boosted 928.
