How come your 1/8 mile trap speed is so low compared to your ET. Then you 1/4 mile trap speed is so high compared to the ET. That does not make any possible sense.
You made over 21mph between those 2 points. S/C SVT's only make 20-21MPH and they only hook up just before half track. (they make 270 at the wheels too!)
Plus running that fast with another 200lbs in the car to boot... :rolleyes: We all know what 200lbs does to the feel of these cars!
Hell you could have had a 14.4 at 100+ with your buddy out of the car. :rolleyes:
Sorry Demon, but I've got a pile of timeslips showing nearly the same exact kind ETs and mphs thru the 1/4 mile and this is at KCIR (your track). I've got quite a few timeslips showing 1/8th miles in the 9.50 range at 75.0 mph and I end up getting a 14.6X@96mph+. On my 14.68@97.8mph, my 1/8th was a 9.49@75.8mph. From the 1/8th on I added 23mph. I guess that whole "my CSVT makes more topend power therefore it's faster from a roll" thing goes right out the window, ehhhh? j/k
I do find it very hard to believe that this guy did run a 14.6@95mph in a mostly stock CSVT WITH a passenger. Seeing that the CSVT doesn't make a lot of torque, it's dramatically affected by weight. Adding 150-200lbs of static weight should slow the CSVT by a good .4 of a second. I really doubt his CSVT is a 14.2 car.
