    1/4 mile

    looking some videos of TT in the net i found this one.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsiO9OX27D4

    a TIP..

    11.48, STOCK can be true??
    my one is manual, but i doubt that a manual can take a STANDSTART like this!

    what do you guys think? the TIP is really better for 1/4 mile?

    Re: 1/4 mile

    Heathcote is in Melbourne. It must be freezing there right now, which will greatly help the times. The ET reads 13x mph. I sincerely doubt this is a stock car. The 1/8 mile speed is 94.70mph and time is 7.37 sec - these are spot on for an 11.4 sec 1/4 mile run. Using a calculator to estimate a weight of 3600lbs if the trap speed is 131 the car is making 555hp if the trap is 137 the car is making 600 hp.

    Re: 1/4 mile

    That would be a really poor time for a 139mph car

    At www.dragtimes.com the horsepower calculater for 11.48 ET, 139.53 and a 3670# car with driver is 629 HP. FWW in my experience a car with a trap speed of 140 mph and a turbo's 4-wheel traction should be well into the 10s.
