Default 8.5 @ 83 mph?

My buddy just posted he went 8.5 @ 83mph in the 1/8th mile in his 3600lb mustang - where does that put him approximately in the 1/4 mile?

What was his 60'? sounds like he hooked up 1/2 way decent. I just ran last night in my 98 Formula, it had a 2.10 60ft, 8.6761@85.52mph. His times seem like it got traction for a decent 1/8mi but his mph is lower than mine. I ended up running a 13.28@106.84mph. If this gives you any idea.

My guess would be 13.8-9's @ 102ish. Def. not an expert though.

easiest way to get an approximate time is multiply your 1/8 time by 1.56.
