Default What would this transfer to in a 1/4

I ran my ss down at Houston Motorsports Park last weekend. She ran 7.8 @93mph 1.6 60 ft, reaction of 0.078. What would that transfer to in a 1/4?

Yea, 12.20's give or take. Except I was taught a different formula. 7.80 divided by .64 will give you 12.1875. Every car is different depending on how they 60ft., etc... The .64 variable can also be .63 or .65 but .64 is usually close enough for most cars. You can also take your 1/4 time and multiply it by .64 for your 1/8 mile time.

I would say with some drag radials, which you need to get back btw brandon, that car is good for an 11.7x-11.8x.
