Demon, get your head out of your arse and look at some numbers! You're an educated boy, you obviously must have passed physics since you're so dead set on proving this impossible. Now when you read this post remember this run was probably done in 40 degree weather with low humidity. Now I really didn't use physics to prove this, but feel free to show me and the others the proper weigh to prove this using physics and how it changes the outcome. I'll be happy to help with the equations too
.
Lets say Sleeper is putting down 115hp then add 75hp to that, so we'll say 190whp (218.5chp). Now there is no way in hell his car weighs 3000lbs! My car in race trim for autoxing weighs in at 2950lbs (so has another countour at a SCCA Solo II National Tour). Now take out a bunch of our options and I'm sure his car is probably 2750lbs! So you're telling me that a car with a weight to power ratio of 12.6:1 can't run a 14.4?
Lets figure your weight to power, you're probably putting down 195-200whp now? Lets go for the 200whp figure so figuring 230chp and you've done a little weight savings too, so figure your car only weighs 2850lbs. You have a power to weight ratio of 12.4:1. Now have you had your beast at the track yet? I'd imagine you could run low 14's too! It may be really hard to launch that beast though, but all it would take is one great launch.
Just to give some reference points. The 320hp Cobras have a weight to power of around 10:1 (translates to what, mid 13's). Integra Type-R's fall in around the 12.9:1 range (14.8's or so). Hmmm, seems to me that Sleeper is right in the correct range and I don't have to prove it since I've SEEN IT!
