Default Wanna find ur 1/4 mile time?

here's a site that'll tell u basically (round about) anything you need as far as numbers go. MPH, boost, 1/8 mile time, 1/4 mile time, 60'....and much more.
http://users.erols.com/srweiss/#jcalc
another way to figure out what you would have run in the 1/4 if u only ran the 1/8 is multiply your 1/8 mile time by 1.55.

Depends on the options....but a t-top car should weigh about what Borderline said, maybe a bit more w/stock whls and tires. His # is less driver, I'm sure. WJ

GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
It means that is the maximum loaded weight of the vehicle should ever be at, that includes all passengers and cargo.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a n00b who doesn't know what I'm talking about. But I gotta learn somehow. It's good to know that I don't outweigh the average LS1 by 1,000 lbs.

Make a pass down a 1/4 mile dragstrip, come down the return road, stop at the timing shack and pick up your timeslip. That is the only true way to calculate your ET and MPH. The rest means NOTHING. Estimated times and speeds mean crap, IMO. Timeslips don't lie. WJ

Well the calculator gives you an idea of what you should be running. This way here if you run a number way way off you'll know somethings wrong.
